Brand-new construction is impressive. **Brand-new construction on 13.71 unrestricted acres with more than a quarter-mile of private creek frontage is exceptionally rare.** Completed in 2026, this remarkable mountain property offers a level of privacy, freedom, and possibility that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in the North Carolina mountains. Designed for effortless one-level living with zero stairs, the thoughtfully crafted home blends quality craftsmanship with everyday comfort. An open, light-filled floor plan showcases granite countertops, Pella windows, luxury vinyl plank flooring, beautiful tongue-and-groove ceilings, quality finishes throughout, a flexible bonus room for guests or a home office, and an oversized two-car garage. The true centerpiece, however, is the land. With 13.71 unrestricted acres of level to gently rolling terrain, established walking trails, and over a quarter-mile of private creek frontage, this property invites you to create the mountain lifestyle you've always imagined. Plant gardens, build a workshop, keep recreational vehicles, enjoy animals, or simply savor the peace of owning land without the limitations of an HOA. A second electrical transformer already in place also provides valuable flexibility for future expansion. Spend your mornings walking wooded trails, afternoons relaxing beside the rushing creek, and evenings gathered around the beautifully landscaped picnic area. Whether you're envisioning a private retreat, a family compound, or simply a place where privacy and nature take center stage, this property delivers opportunities few others can match. A productive private well, underground utilities, and a builder's warranty provide added confidence, while the convenient location offers easy access to Murphy, Blue Ridge, and the outdoor recreation that makes Western North Carolina and North Georgia so desirable. Properties offering unrestricted acreage, extensive private creek frontage, and brand-new construction rarely become available--and once they're gone, they're nearly impossible to replace. If you've been searching for a mountain property that offers not only a beautiful home but the freedom to create a lasting legacy, 342 Hunter Ridge deserves your attention.
