## Description

### Agent Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a 28-homesite portfolio within the upscale, gated Mystic Lands community of Western North Carolina. Offered together as a single sale, these individually deeded, shovel-ready homesites provide immediate inventory without the time and expense of assembling parcels separately. Infrastructure includes paved roads, underground utilities, protective covenants, and architectural review. The diverse collection features ridgetop homesites with expansive views, lake-view lots, and wooded parcels bordering the Nantahala National Forest. Community amenities include equestrian facilities and riding arena, stocked pond, miles of walking trails, canoe house and lodge, night-sky observatory, Queen's Lake access, and a riverfront clubhouse with private scenic islands along the Nantahala River. Minutes from the Nantahala Gorge, Fontana Lake, and abundant outdoor recreation, Mystic Lands appeals to buyers seeking primary homes, mountain retreats, or vacation properties. Short-term rentals are permitted. Parcel inventory, maps, and supporting documents are available. Offered only as a single portfolio sale.
