Located in the Bear Ridge community in Bakersville, NC, this nicely wooded lot offers privacy, nature, and great potential for mountain views with some clearing. Bear Ridge is a gated mountain community with annual dues of $500 ($250per lot) and a minimum build requirement of 850 square feet. Manufactured and modular homes are not permitted. Short-term rentals are allowed according to community guidelines. The community features two common areas for property owners to enjoy. One is located along Bold Little Rock Creek, a wildlife trout stream where you can fish, relax, or wade in the water. The second common area includes a pavilion and gathering space that works well for community or family events. The area is surrounded by natural beauty and outdoor recreation. Roan Mountain, trout streams, and hiking opportunities are all nearby. Wildlife is common in the area, including deer, squirrels, and black bear. While the community offers privacy and a quiet mountain setting, it is still within about an hour of Johnson City and Bristol to the north, Asheville to the south, and the Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock area to the east. Lake James is a little over an hour away.
