140 Wild Mountain Lane is a rare offering: approximately 133.25 acres of contiguous Appalachian mountain land with established water features, a stone structure and multiple buildable vantage points. The parcel includes springs that feed ponds and small creeks, and the eastern boundary is marked by Haw Creek—natural assets that enhance wildlife, aesthetic appeal and on-site water reliability. The property’s highest named point, Haw Knob, exceeds 3,900 feet, delivering mountain views and several potential homesites sheltered by mature woods.
Access is practical for a parcel of this scale: there are multiple ingress options from Wild Mountain Lane and Haw Branch Road and an internal network of logging roads and trails that make exploration straightforward. A stone structure on the property—documented in listing remarks—presents a unique starting point for a camp or rustic residence. The tract is currently in a forestry management plan, which provides a foundation for timber stewardship and potential revenue while preserving the land’s long-term character.
Located approximately a 30-minute drive to Asheville and closer to Weaverville and Mars Hill, this property delivers seclusion without excessive remoteness. Use cases include a private mountain estate, a conservation investment with potential easement opportunities, a timber-holding property, or a recreational retreat for hunting and trail access. Sellers have positioned the acreage at roughly $4,995 per acre, a compelling entry point for buyers seeking large-scale mountain ownership in Buncombe County.
Buyers should plan standard rural due diligence: confirm building permit and zoning specifics with Buncombe County, verify utility and septic feasibility at desired build sites, and commission a boundary and timber survey if timber value or subdivision is being evaluated.
