| Room to roam, room to create, and a little more room to dream. Finding 14.52 acres of usable land in the mountains of Western North Carolina is something special. Add in rolling pasture, long-range mountain views, frontage along Prices Creek, and a 2,800-square-foot insulated hangar, and you have a property that offers a little something different. Located just west of Burnsville, 124 Shootout Lane offers a rare combination of open land, water frontage, and existing infrastructure. Prices Creek borders one entire boundary of the property, adding a beautiful natural feature to the setting and bringing the sights and sounds of the creek into the landscape. Paired with the surrounding mountain scenery and open fields, it's a setting with plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors and make the property your own. The level, cleared acreage could lend itself to a farm, equestrian property, private mountain estate, workshop, or other use that calls for room to spread out. The existing insulated metal building was previously used as a helicopter hangar and features three 16-foot overhead doors, a helipad, underground electrical service with 200-amp and 220-volt power, plumbing rough-ins, and an installed septic system. Whether you've been looking for land to farm, space for your equipment and projects, a place to build, or simply the freedom that comes with having acreage of your own, this property is worth a closer look. Electricity is connected, fiber-optic internet is available, and a shared well serves the property from adjoining land. Enjoy the open fields, creek frontage, and mountain scenery while still being a short drive from downtown Burnsville. With no HOA and no deeded restrictions discovered, there's room to explore what's possible, subject to applicable approvals and requirements. Properties with this much usable acreage, creek frontage, and an existing building like this don't come along every day in our corner of the mountains.
