About This Land

Shoal Ridge + Falls Road isn’t just land reaching over 160+ ACRES of pure Bliss & Sexiness! It’s not just an investment, it’s a LIFESTYLE and a LEGACY! From the moment you step onto the land, awe takes over! Morning mists rolling through valleys, golden sunsets spilling across ridges, and star-filled skies at night remind you that this is not just a property—it’s a living canvas painted daily by Mother Nature herself!!!

Indulge & don't just imagine standing at the edge of this ONCE-in-a-LIFETIME opportunity to own one of Western North Carolina’s most extraordinary mountain sanctuaries—Shoal Ridge + Falls Road combined, totaling over 160± acres of PURE natural WONDER! With +/-100-mile LAYERED MOUNTAIN VISTAS, SHOWERING BENEATH YOUR PERSONAL ±175-foot WATERFALL, OR EXPLORING A RARE TEAL-WATER/aquamarine CAVE, a man-made pond, meandering creeks, and multiple homesites already cleared and infrastructure-ready, this property is UNLIKE anything else on the market!!! COME see it in person - THIS ONE-of-a-KIND mountain sanctuary is ready for its next chapter - Will it be yours? CALL OR TEXT TO SET UP AN APPT AND DISCUSS HOW THIS CAN BE YOURS AND MAXIMIZE EVERY INCH! OR PRESERVE ALL YOU WANT AND SOAK IN FOR YOURSELF!

Whether you’re an astute investor, a VISIONARY builder, or someone longing for a PRIVATE sanctuary NO ONE else can REPLICATE—or even find—you’ll discover it HERE! This EXTRAORDINARY property offers it ALL: scale, infrastructure IN PLACE, NATURAL WONDERS and limitless POTENTIAL - for a fraction of what you'll find, if you can, these things anywhere else! The best part - You don’t have to climb the steepest peaks or disappear into the middle of nowhere to have it; you’re worlds away in your own private paradise, yet close enough to enjoy modern conveniences!

MAKE THIS your private “nature park” with endless possibilities—build a glass house that hovers above the VIEWS, create a MOUNTAIN TOP ESCAPE with space for guests, or design a community of retreats that blend luxury with the wild beauty of this landscape. For the bold and visionary, the options stretch as far as your imagination: a heli-pad, small plane landing strip, equestrian facilities, hiking or biking trails—all with the foundation already in place; LITTLE TO NO WORK, unless you want! And unlike many large tracts, this one is truly ready for you with Road access throughout the parcels, the Underground power and shared well water are already installed! Multiple building sites carefully chosen and cleared, each with distinct views and privacy! Secure, gated entry with limited restrictions for peace of mind without sacrifice!

At the lower portion of the land, a private trail leads to an otherworldly cave with crystal-clear teal waters, a feature so rare it alone makes this property unforgettable. Just beyond, the 175± foot personal waterfall cascades dramatically—a showpiece few can ever claim as their own backyard. Add in the pond and sandy-bottom creeks, and you have water features in nearly every direction!!!!

Shoal Ridge is currently platted as 5 parcels of 19–20± acres each, totaling nearly 100 acres-, with the additional 60+ acres on Falls Road that include the WATERFALL w/ the sprinkled parcels and homesites! Keep it as one unparalleled estate, or subdivide and create multiple homesites—the flexibility is unmatched - even more acreage and possibilities!

Though the property feels worlds away, it’s surprisingly accessible. You’re minutes from Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Hendersonville, and just over an hour to Asheville, NC or Greenville/Spartanburg, SC (GSP International). Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) is ~1.5 hours, making national and international access convenient. Local shopping, dining, groceries, and healthcare are all nearby, ensuring you can retreat to seclusion without giving up convenience.
