Lot 21 Brer Rabbit Trail Unit 21 Waynesville, NC 28785

I asked this lot if it came with baggage… It said, “Nope. Just elevation.” Lot 21 is a solid, well-positioned homesite in the Rabbits Ridge subdivision, offering mountain elevation, privacy, and strong long-range views that define this section of the community. The land remains largely untouched, g...iving a future owner the flexibility to plan the driveway, homesite, and layout based on their own vision and priorities. With road access available, Lot 21 allows for thoughtful siting to take full advantage of natural light and the surrounding mountain scenery. The views are consistent with the best lots in Rabbits Ridge — layered ridgelines, quiet hardwood forests, and a setting that feels both expansive and grounded. Located at approximately 3,000–3,500 feet in elevation, the lot offers a true mountain environment without sacrificing accessibility. Paved access via Bernies Trail and a mix of paved and gravel interior roads make year-round access practical while maintaining the peaceful character of the subdivision. Lot 21 also benefits from an existing 3-bedroom septic approval (expired), providing a useful reference point for future planning. Just minutes from downtown Waynesville and a short drive to the Cataloochee Valley side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this location offers proximity to hiking, wildlife, and outdoor recreation — without the crowds found on the Gatlinburg side of the park. Lot 21 is a versatile mountain homesite with elevation, access, and attitude — proof that sometimes less baggage really does make the climb better. Continue reading
