242 Floyd Road

Looking for a spot to build in the mountains with lots of privacy but close to town. Here's your chance. This 1.78-acre wooded lot sits tucked into the hills outside Waynesville, offering the kind of quiet, shaded privacy that's getting harder to find at this price point. The heavy lifting has already started for you – there's a survey on file, a perc test has been completed, and the beginning of a driveway has been cleared, giving you a head start on getting your build underway. The lot is thick with mature hardwoods, mountain laurel, and rhododendron, so you'll have plenty of natural buffer between you and the neighbors. One thing worth noting: with some selective tree clearing, there's real potential for a mountain view from up top – you can already catch glimpses of the ridgeline through the trees along the old road cut. A little vision (and a chainsaw) could go a long way here. The property sits within an HOA with a minimum home size requirement of 800 square feet, so cabins, cottages, and smaller mountain homes are all welcome – no need to build big to make this work. If you've been searching for a place to put down roots in Haywood County this one's worth a walk. Bring your boots – it's still rustic back there, but that's exactly the appeal.
