Discover the possibilities with this all-wooded property just minutes from downtown West Jefferson! Enjoy excellent views of Mount Jefferson and the surrounding mountain vistas while taking advantage of a flexible location with a variety of potential uses. Located within West Jefferson's Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), the property may accommodate uses beyond traditional residential development, including animals, small-scale farm operations, and occupational residences, subject to applicable zoning requirements and permits. There is no minimum square footage requirement for a home, and mobile homes are permitted with proper skirting. The minimum lot size is 0.91 acre, so further subdivision is not permitted under the stated requirements. Short-term rentals require a special use permit; inquire about other potential uses and applicable permitting requirements. The property adjoins a state-maintained road for convenient access. Toward the rear, the terrain becomes more level, offering a potential building site nestled among the trees. Whether you're envisioning a mountain home, a weekend retreat, or another permitted use, this property offers flexibility in a convenient location close to the shops, restaurants, galleries, and amenities of downtown West Jefferson. Well and septic permits will be needed.
Approximately 27 acre unrestricted tract just outside of West Jefferson. Open pasture with about 1,000 feet of creek frontage along Beaver Creek and Nettle Knob Rd. Extensive road frontage allows for multiple access points. Mature hardwoods along with some bottom land makes this an attractive property for a single homesite, a gentlemen's farm, or a small development.
