Experience exceptional value for what this property offers in the beautifully established New Forest Mountain gated community. This prime lot in Union Mills is truly something special, featuring a cleared homesite with sweeping, year-round mountain views, underground power, and water already in place — making it ideal for a primary residence or refined mountain retreat. Access is both convenient and flexible: approach directly from paved Deer Path on the front side, or enter from North Tranquility via the rear round-about, where a gravel drive is already in place to pull in, explore, and fully appreciate the views. With leaves off, it’s the perfect time to envision the ideal placement for your home — imagine a front porch designed for quiet mornings, coffee in hand, overlooking layered mountain vistas. This location strikes a rare balance: easy access to the main road, yet a sense of privacy and security within a gated, established mountain community. Mature hardwoods throughout the property provide natural seclusion while preserving sightlines and long-range views. Low-maintenance, thoughtfully positioned, and ready to build, this lot offers the freedom to design your driveway from the paved road below or utilize the upper gravel access — whichever best suits your vision. Convenient to daily needs and within an easy drive of Charlotte for weekend getaways, this is mountain living without compromise. Available individually or in combination with other nearby lots (see MLS# for details). Call or text to schedule a private showing to experience the views for yourself! (*No HOA, but pay annually into a LLC to upkeep roads, gate and community well.)
Just over an acre and a half, this lot sits on Whitestone Circle, in the gated community of Hearthstone Ridge. Potential mountain views would be best from a second story or loft. This property is lightly wooded, mostly near-level with some gently sloping land - easy to build on, no matter what your design entails. If a walk-out basement foundation is in your plans, this parcel will work just fine, and if a one-level home is more to your liking, that's going to work, too! While it's true a second level will enjoy a mountain view, it's this gorgeous location you'll want to consider. A somewhat rural location with clean air, clean water and a sky full of stars, yet close to town for necessities and conveniences. Hearthstone Ridge has light restrictions (1,200 sf min, no mobile homes, no time frame to build) and dues of only $435/year to maintain the paved roads.

No severe restrictions with new POA and dues are currently only $600 annually. Electricity is currently not up to this level. REMC Electrical would work with a buyer who has an approved home plan to bring power up to this level at a shared cost formula.

A private, estate-sized parcel, this property is a gorgeous example of western NC beauty. The land rolls and undulates while still offering plenty of room for your home site, no matter what your plans are. There's little undergrowth because of the massive hardwood canopy. (You'll have plenty of shade during the warm summer months, and after the vibrant autumn leaves fall, you'll have sunlight streaming in all winter long.) This wooded parcel is located in gated Hearthstone Ridge, and features a near-level driveway already in place, leading to an excellent potential home site. The property backs up to an 80-acre parcel of land outside the community that is land-locked, making this paradise so much more private! We hope you don't mind deer, because this is one of their favorite spaces to travel through, judging by the abundance of tracks.
