Located directly above Bryson City NC, this exceptional +-104 acre tract offers a rare opportunity to own a private airstrip in Western NC! The fact this property exists is astonishing; it's estimated that over 1 million cubic yards of dirt was moved to shape the 2260' airstrip, a feat that could never be replicated today. An old auto dealership and hangar buildings are ready for repurposing. A +-4000 sf mid-century home is sited just above a spring-fed pond, and walking trails wind throughout the beautiful forested acreage. Located 1 mile from the Lake Fontana boat ramp, 4 miles from the Deep Creek area of the Great Smoky Mtns Nat'l Park, and 14 miles to Cherokee. Possible uses for this uncommon property include aviation, development, multi-family, storage, private estate, adaptive reuse, equestrian, production, and more. Portion of acreage lies within town limits with a favorable mixed-use zoning. Sewer capacity is being expanded in the area. Seller financing & JV options considered.
From Bryson City, take Old NC 288 towards Lake Fontana. Right on Lemons Branch Rd. The home and entrance to the airstrip will both be on your right.
