151 Shope Creek Road · Asheville, North Carolina 28805
A rare unbuilt tract in East Asheville — three parcels, an engineered road already cut to the summit, and long-range mountain views waiting at the top.
23.70 acres · 3 deeded parcels · Buncombe County
The Land
Shope Creek Road runs back off Riceville Road into one of the last quiet folds of East Asheville — a valley of small farms, hardwood coves and national forest, ten minutes from a grocery store and a world away from one.
This tract climbs from the road through mature woods to a broad clearing at the summit, where the ridgelines open up to the east and the evening light lasts. Several springs surface on the property. A road built with stone and tensile fabric already reaches the top, so the hardest and most expensive part of developing mountain land is behind you.
The acreage is held as three separate deeded parcels, which leaves the door open: build one house and keep the rest as buffer, hold the balance as an investment, or plan a small family compound. Warren Wilson College and the Shope Creek trailhead into Pisgah National Forest are both minutes away.
The cleared summit opens to layered ridgelines — the view most buyers come to Asheville looking for.
Live water surfaces in more than one place on the tract — rare, and useful well beyond aesthetics.
A professionally constructed stone-and-fabric road runs from the road frontage to the top building site.
A large pre-cleared area at the summit plus additional benches lower on the tract.
Sold together, but deeded separately — flexibility to build, hold, or divide.
Mature hardwood cover through the lower slopes, opening to cleared ground where you want it.
The Shope Creek trailhead into Pisgah National Forest — miles of trail and creek — is just up the road.
Warren Wilson College and East Asheville shopping are a few minutes out; downtown is a short drive.
