4098 Tilley Creek Road

Are you ready to escape to the mountains? Here is the perfect place for your home in the woods in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, yet close to in-town amenities. This 46-acre forested property along Tilley Creek Road (SR 1001) in Jackson County, NC, is under conservation easement held by Mainspring Conservation Trust and may not be subdivided. The lower five acres have few restrictions and allow for a single residential structure and associated improvements and outbuildings, as well as agriculture. The property sits between 3,280 and 4,320 feet in elevation and includes over half a mile of perennial stream frontage, 2,900 feet of boundary with other conservation easements, 1,400 feet of boundary with Nantahala National Forest, and 175 feet of road frontage. The property features poplar cove forest, montane pine-oak-hickory forest and rock outcrops. A small garden shed and forest roads are the only modifications at present. Located only ten minutes from Western Carolina University and twenty minutes from downtown Sylva, NC, this property is waiting for you to create your own private mountain retreat in an easily accessible, beautiful setting.
