Rare 238-acre Swannanoa Valley property featuring multiple build sites, established roads, water features, and two existing residences. Open use zoning allows for endless possibilities for development or private use. The land features an established network of logging roads and trails providing access to multiple elevated, building sites with sweeping views of Bee Tree Lake and the surrounding valley. These routes offer strong potential for future road improvements and expanded infrastructure. Lower cleared acreage is well-suited for pasture, farming, or additional home sites, while wooded and rolling sections provide privacy and long-term land value. A separate entrance serves a developed RV and camping area with utilities in place, offering immediate income or guest-use potential. Natural features include a waterfall, three ponds, and a robust creek, enhancing both aesthetic and functional appeal. The property also includes multiple outbuildings, including a barn with solar panels, spring house, greenhouse, reconstructed log cabin, and full mechanic’s shop, supporting agricultural, construction, or multi-use operations. Two existing residences — Bee Haven and the historic 1907 Wood Bee Home — provide flexibility for owner occupancy, rental income, or on-site management. Designed for reliability and independence, the property includes backup solar power, hydroelectric power, gas heat, and Starlink internet, supporting modern connectivity and year-round comfort. A restored functional spring house provides natural cold storage for perishables. With its combination of significant acreage, road access, utilities, water features, and multiple structures, this property is ideally suited for a private family compound, conservation estate, retreat center, eco-development, event venue, subdivision, or working farm. Open use zoning. Buyer responsible for confirming zoning, restrictions, and suitability for intended use. Opportunities of this scale and versatility in the Swannanoa Valley are increasingly rare.
