Why did the lot bring a ladder? Because the views are on another level. Lot 22 is a well-situated homesite in the Rabbits Ridge subdivision, offering elevation, privacy, and long-range mountain views that make Western North Carolina land so compelling. The lot remains largely untouched, giving a future owner the flexibility to design the driveway, homesite, and layout based on their own vision rather than someone else’s plans. With road access in place, Lot 22 allows for thoughtful siting to capture the surrounding scenery and natural light. The views here are consistent with the strongest lots in the subdivision, featuring layered ridgelines, hardwood forests, and a true mountain backdrop at approximately 3, 000–3, 500 feet in elevation. Rabbits Ridge offers paved access via Bernies Trail, with a mix of paved and gravel interior roads that balance practicality with a quiet, mountain feel. The setting is peaceful and removed without feeling isolated, making year-round use both realistic and comfortable. Lot 22 also benefits from an existing 3-bedroom septic approval (expired), providing a helpful reference point for future planning. Located just minutes from downtown Waynesville and a short drive to the quieter Cataloochee Valley side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this lot offers access to hiking, wildlife, and outdoor recreation without the crowds. Lot 22 is a strong, flexible mountain homesite — proof that sometimes land really does rise to the occasion.
