TBD Upper Whitewater Rd., Sapphire, NC 28774

One of the last true large-tract Blue Ridge wilderness properties available, this 205-acre property is an opportunity to own an Appalachian forest that shares over 1.3 miles of boundary with Nantahala National Forest. Surprisingly gentle bottom land and a small former homestead are nestled in the center of the property, and over 3,000 feet of bold Gum Bottom Creek winds its way through the woodlands. From the gentle central portion of the land the property rises to over 3,800 feet near its northern boundary in a striking ridgeline. A dramatic 80-foot waterfall cascades into a pool at the far eastern end of the property across Upper Whitewater Road. Former logging roads could provide the basis for access throughout the property and to the boundary with the adjoining Forest Service land.
