lot 14 bernies trail

Lot 14 stands apart by scale alone. At approximately 3.05 acres, it is the largest individual lot currently being offered in Rabbits Ridge, giving you something increasingly rare in a mountain subdivision: room. Room to build without feeling boxed in. Room for privacy buffers, trails, gardens, or simply space left untouched. Room for a home that feels intentional rather than squeezed between lines on a plat. The land is wooded and elevated, with the same mountain character that defines Rabbits Ridge — hardwoods, long-range views, and a quiet setting that feels removed without being impractical. The size of the lot allows for flexibility in homesite placement, driveway approach, and long-term use, whether your vision is a primary residence, a seasonal retreat, or a legacy property meant to be held. Access is in place, with paved travel along Bernies Trail and a mix of paved and gravel interior roads. The setting sits at approximately 3,000–3,500 feet in elevation, offering cooler temperatures, layered ridgelines, and a true Smokies atmosphere. Lot 14 also benefits from an existing 3-bedroom septic approval (expired), providing a helpful reference point for future planning. Located just minutes from downtown Waynesville and a short drive to the quieter Cataloochee Valley side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this lot offers both proximity and perspective. Lot 14 isn’t just larger on paper — it offers the freedom that only extra acreage provides. In a subdivision where most lots range from one to two acres, this one gives you space to think longer term.
