Property Description
Premier lot in the heart of Sugar Mountain. This generous 3/4 acre estate lot lies at the top of a gentle knob on one of the best situated streets on Sugar mountain. It offers faraway 360 degree views through the fall and winter months. The topography slopes gently and evenly down from a roadside elevation of 440 feet. The neighborhood is exquisite with dark black paved roads that twist and turn through a cozy neighborhood of fine homes. Subject lot is at the end of a quite cul-de-sac. The land has already been perc tested and has an expired septic permit for 3 bedroom home. This permit indicates good soil analysis and will require re-application. Sellers are custom home builders and will discuss a custom design and build for new owners after closing. There are no deed restrictions. There is no HOA or architectural review process required, but The Town of Sugar Mountain requires a zoning review to ensure compliance with zoning. Structural review will be required through Avery County Building Department. The height restriction is 35 feet from the highest point of soil contact with the home. With the slight downward slope, the lay offers opportunity for a grand facade and possibly a rear-entry garage configuration. Carolina Water meter is at the road, as is provision of electrical and fiber optic services.
