1156 Bear River Lodge Trail Deep in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Bear River Lodge is a gated community built along Big Laurel Creek - one of the region's premier trout streams. This 1.23-acre homesite is one of the more level and buildable parcels in the neighborhood, offering, mature trees, and long-range mountain views ideal for watching the sunset. Owners enjoy private access to over a mile of trophy trout water, a timber-frame clubhouse for weddings, family gatherings, and holiday get-togethers, fiber-optic internet, underground utilities, and gated privacy. The lot carries a soil evaluation for a 4-bedroom septic system, giving room for a spacious primary home or a home plus guest cottage. Paved private road frontage and nearby power make this an easy site to build on. This is a great opportunity to buy a prime lot with views in one of Madison County's mountain communities.
