Maybe it starts with a few rows of tomatoes. Then the squash takes over, someone gives you pepper plants, and suddenly you're supplying half the people you know with vegetables. There's room for that here. At the corner of Etowah School Road and Drexel Road, this 1.07-acre parcel offers open, nearly level ground with a gentle slope and Gash Creek along one side. No woods to clear before you can see what you've got. Approximately 298 feet of paved frontage on two NCDOT-maintained roads frames the property, with power and cable internet nearby at the road. A garden, possible pasture, or some recreational space-there are ideas worth exploring here, subject to county requirements and site conditions. No HOA or restrictive covenants. R1 zoning applies. Etowah, Brevard Road, and Hendersonville are minutes away, with Asheville and the airport within reach. But the creek is only part of the water story, and the rest belongs right here in the conversation. The entire parcel is in FEMA Zone AE, the mapped 100-year floodplain, and it flooded during Helene. It lies outside the regulatory floodway. Any construction would require applicable county approvals, including floodplain permitting and compliance with elevation standards. Flood insurance requirements and costs deserve a close look. Mapped soils are poorly drained, and no septic permit is on record. Residential development potential has not been established. If building is part of your plan, make your offer contingent on a satisfactory soil evaluation through Henderson County Environmental Health and confirmation that your intended use can be permitted. Sometimes a piece of land earns its place through something simple: a growing season, some open space, a little creek frontage. This corner offers those possibilities, with the homework laid out up front. FEMA flood panel and county soil map available on request.
