About this land
Embrace the serenity of nature with this 7.5 +/- acre property featuring lush woodlands, peaceful valleys, and frontage along a large, meandering creek with many cascading waterfalls. Nestled just minutes from downtown Waynesville, this secluded parcel offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, presenting an exceptional opportunity to create your ideal mountain sanctuary. The property's terrain features beautiful hardwood forests on steeper slopes to enhance privacy, and build sites in the valley above the creek. The highlight is your own stretch of creek frontage, where the soothing sounds of flowing water create a year-round natural oasis. Imagine morning coffee by the water's edge or evening strolls along your private creek banks. This is 3 parcels that include 2 small lots in the Phase 2 section of Chestnut Walk. All three parcels appear to be restricted by the Phase 1 Chestnut Walk restrictions. Located just 10 minutes from Waynesville's charming Main Street yet completely surrounded by nature, this property offers easy access to local amenities while maintaining a sense of peaceful seclusion. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest, and countless hiking trails, while still enjoying complete privacy at home. Enjoy the freedom to design your perfect mountain lifestyle - whether that's a cozy woodland cabin, a modern retreat among the trees, or a self-sufficient homestead with gardens and outdoor living spaces. The combination of usable land, mature forests, easy access, and creek frontage makes this a rare find in Haywood County's desirable real estate market. This parcel also has a short gravel road that goes through it for the Apple Tree community and you to use. Don't miss this opportunity to own your own piece of Western North Carolina's natural beauty, where every season brings new splendor to your private creek-front woodland paradise. Buyer to verify zoning, utilities, and building requirements, and HOA applicability.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
