ubdivision. With road access from both above and below, this lot gives you options — whether you’re thinking about site placement, driveway approach, or future design flexibility. A rough driveway has already been pushed in from the lower access, providing a practical starting point and helping buyers visualize how the land works. The topography lends itself well to capturing the surrounding mountain scenery, with great views consistent with the best lots in the subdivision. Like the rest of Rabbits Ridge, Lot 27 sits at elevation, surrounded by hardwoods and natural mountain terrain that feels private and quiet without being remote. Paved access via Bernies Trail, along with a mix of paved and gravel interior roads, makes year-round access realistic and convenient. This lot also benefits from an existing 3-bedroom septic approval (expired), offering a helpful reference point for future planning. Located just minutes from downtown Waynesville and a short drive to Cataloochee Valley in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the setting balances accessibility with a strong sense of place. Lot 27 is a solid, versatile homesite with real-world usability — not just a view on paper, but land that already shows you how it wants to be used.
Tucked at the end of the cul-de-sac, Lot 12 offers that rare mix of privacy, views, and build-friendly terrain. The setting feels settled and intentional — no pass-through traffic, just a quiet pocket at the edge of the ridge where the land opens up toward the mountains. The topography is ideal for a daylight basement, making this a smart lot for a home that lives large without feeling oversized. Think lower-level living space, guest quarters, studio, or recreation room that opens naturally to the landscape instead of feeling buried in it. From here, you’ll enjoy views toward Great Smoky Mountains National Park, reminding you daily why people come to Western North Carolina and never quite leave. Morning light, changing seasons, and long-distance scenery give this lot a sense of scale that elevates the entire homesite. One of the quiet advantages of Lot 12 is the price point — it leaves room in the budget for more home, better finishes, or thoughtful outdoor living spaces. Less spent on dirt, more invested in how you live on it. Private, practical, and well-positioned — Lot 12 is mountain living done right.
There is a moment that comes to every traveler—sometimes on a road, sometimes at a kitchen table—when the familiar no longer answers the deeper question. You’ve done what you were supposed to do. You’ve followed the map handed to you. And yet, something inside says: keep going. The old stories were never really about destinations. They were about leaving. About choosing the uncertain horizon over the well-worn path. About trusting that what you’re looking for won’t be found where you already stand. Land has always called to people like this. Not land as a commodity, but land as a pause. A reset. A place where the noise drops away and the days begin to stretch again. A place that doesn’t ask who you were, only what you’re willing to build, plant, protect, or imagine next. Those who search for land aren’t running from something. They’re responding to a pull—toward space, toward quiet, toward ownership that feels personal instead of prescribed. Toward mornings that start slower and nights that feel earned. Somewhere between the idea and the arrival is where the real journey lives. And if you’re reading this, chances are you’re already on it. The question isn’t whether there’s more out there. It’s whether you’re ready to step onto it. The Red Bundle Offering at Rabbits Ridge is about more than acreage. It’s about orientation — to the land, to the mountains, and to a quieter, more authentic side of the Smokies that still feels like the park used to feel. This bundled offering includes Lots 12, 13, and 27, all enjoying southern exposure with long-range views toward Jonathan Creek and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The light here matters. Morning sun, layered ridgelines, and a sense of openness that only comes from facing south into protected mountain country. One of the defining features of this bundle is Lot 13, which includes a natural bluff — a rare and compelling homesite with the potential for truly spectacular views. It’s the kind of feature that anchors a primary residence, while the additional lots give you options: guest homes, space for friends or family, or simply the luxury of privacy and breathing room around you. All three lots have existing 3-bedroom septic approvals (now expired), providing a strong starting point for future planning. The subdivision roads are in place, with paved access via Bernies Trail and a mix of paved and gravel interior roads. Just minutes away is Cataloochee Valley, often considered the quieter, more soulful side of the Smokies... less traffic, fewer crowds, and a landscape that still feels timeless. This is the side of the park where elk wander through open fields, history lingers in old homesteads, and the pace slows back down to something human. This bundle offers flexibility, views, and a setting that feels increasingly hard to find. Not a liquidation. Not an auction. Just an intentional opportunity to claim a small piece of the Smokie... and share it, if you choose, with the people who matter most.
Rare opportunity to acquire a 1.10-acre interior homesite within the sought-after Lake Junaluska Assembly, comprised of three adjoining lots offering flexibility, privacy, and long-term value. Located in a quieter section of the Assembly, the property features mature hardwoods, sloping terrain well-suited for a custom build. There is a very small creek along the rear boundary near County Rd. City water is available. Property may connect to city sewer via lift station or offers ample area for a septic system. Architectural review helps preserve neighborhood character; modular and site-built homes are permitted (manufactured homes not allowed). No minimum square footage requirement. Paved road access with frontage on Wesley Way enhances usability and design options. Ownership includes access to Lake Junaluska amenities including lake access, walking trails, fitness center, golf, pool, and recreational facilities. Larger interior Assembly lots with this combination of acreage, setting, and utility availability are increasingly limited, making this an exceptional opportunity for a primary residence or second home in one of Haywood County’s most distinctive communities.
Lot 13 sits right where you want to be — up on the ridge, with a clear, usable building envelope and south-facing exposure that pulls in light all day long. It’s the kind of lot that feels intuitive the moment you walk it. The land tells you where the house should go. This is a strong homesite with elevation, presence, and just enough openness to frame the surrounding woods without losing that tucked-in mountain feel. Morning sun, afternoon warmth, and long seasonal light make this a great setup for a porch, big windows, or passive solar design. A previous 3-bedroom septic evaluation has been completed (now expired), giving a solid starting point for future planning. The ridge setting provides natural drainage and a sense of separation that’s hard to replicate at lower elevations. And then there’s the location. From here, you’re minutes to hiking, rafting, and exploring, with easy access to skiing and the trails, rivers, and backroads surrounding Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This part of Western North Carolina offers so much that you could spend a lifetime here and still be discovering new places, new routes, and new reasons to stay outside just a little longer. Lot 13 isn’t flashy — it’s solid, well-positioned mountain land with real build potential and a lifestyle that quietly sells itself. Build now, or hold for later. Either way, the ridge isn’t going anywhere.
“At some point, you stop waiting for the right time and realize the right land creates it.” Most people don’t notice the moment when the old rhythm stops fitting. It’s subtle at first. The days blur together. The calendar fills up. You’re productive, responsible, doing everything you’re supposed to do — yet something feels off. Not wrong exactly. Just…unnatural. Humans weren’t built for endless loops. We were built to move, to choose, to claim space and create something that feels grounded and real. And every so often, an opportunity shows up that isn’t about square footage or spreadsheets — it’s about momentum. About making a deliberate play instead of drifting into the next year on autopilot. Owning land like this isn’t an escape fantasy. It’s a recalibration. A decision to put something solid under your feet. A place where time slows down, mornings feel intentional again, and long-term thinking starts to make sense. Land doesn’t demand urgency — it rewards patience. It waits for you to show up ready. This is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t shout. It simply asks a quiet question: What would it look like if you built something for yourself instead of around everything else? This bundle offering includes Lots 22, 23, and 28 in Rabbits Ridge, creating a combined mountain holding with scale, privacy, and flexibility that individual lots simply can’t offer on their own. Together, these three lots form a meaningful footprint within the subdivision — ideal for a private estate setting, a multi-homesite vision, or a long-term investment play in one of Haywood County’s established mountain communities. With elevations ranging approximately 3,000–3,500 feet, the land is wooded, peaceful, and immersive, offering a true mountain environment without sacrificing access. Rabbits Ridge is located just outside downtown Waynesville, with convenient access to I-40, Asheville, and the surrounding Smoky Mountain region. Bernies Trail, the main road through the subdivision, is paved, with interior roads consisting of a mix of paved and gravel. The setting feels tucked away and quiet, yet remains practical and reachable year-round. Lots in Rabbits Ridge are known for their natural character, sense of order, and long-term appeal. An annual HOA is in place, helping protect the integrity and feel of the community over time. A chance to step into a larger position, create options, and make a move that’s strategic today and meaningful years from now.
William Shakespeare understood something timeless: that the turning points of life are rarely loud. They arrive quietly, as a question rather than a command. Is this enough? Is this where I remain? In his stories, the land was never just ground beneath one’s feet—it was inheritance, refuge, promise. A place where intention could finally take shape. Kings lost it. Exiles longed for it. Families fought to preserve it. Land mattered because it anchored the future to the present. We still feel that pull today. At some point, the desire shifts. Not for more noise, or more speed—but for footing. For a place that offers order without confinement, proximity without pressure. A place chosen deliberately, not stumbled into. Seeking land is not an escape from life; it is a claim upon it. A declaration that what comes next deserves space, structure, and room to endure. A home is not merely built—it is situated, thoughtfully, among others doing the same. If there is restlessness in you, it may not be dissatisfaction at all. It may be readiness. And readiness, as the old playwright knew well, is where every meaningful act begins. The Purple Bundle—Lots 18, 19, 20, and 21—is located within a thoughtfully planned subdivision where access, layout, and buildability have already been addressed. Roads are in place, the lots are clearly defined, and the terrain offers strong, straightforward build sites without unnecessary complexity. These four lots share a consistent location and benefit from a neighborhood designed for permanence—not speculation. The land lays well, making home placement efficient and construction more predictable, a rare advantage in mountain subdivisions. This bundle provides flexibility: build one and hold the others, develop multiple homes within a cohesive setting, or plan a small cluster for family or long-term investment. Each lot offers usable space while maintaining the structure and continuity that come from shared standards and maintained access. This is not raw land asking you to solve problems. This is land that allows you to focus on design, livability, and the life that will unfold there. The Purple Bundle offers clarity—of access, of purpose, and of potential. A solid setting, ready for what comes next.
