Lot 23 Thumper Trl #23 Waynesville, NC 28785

Listing details for Lot 23 Thumper Trl #23, Waynesville, NC 28785 : I told this lot it needed to stay grounded… It said, “Hard to do at this elevation.” Lot 23 is a standout homesite in the Rabbits Ridge subdivision, offering elevation, privacy, and sweeping mountain views that feel both expansive and calming. The land is wooded and largely untouched, giving a future owner the freedom to design the homesite, driveway, and layout with intention rather than compromise. With road access available, Lot 23 allows for thoughtful placement to take advantage of natural light and long-range scenery. The views here align with the best the subdivision has to offer — layered ridgelines, quiet forests, and the kind of mountain backdrop that changes character with the seasons. Sitting at approximately 3,000–3,500 feet in elevation, the setting feels tucked away without being remote. Bernies Trail provides paved access into Rabbits Ridge, with a mix of paved and gravel interior roads that support year-round access while preserving the natural feel of the community. Lot 23 also includes an existing 3-bedroom septic approval (expired), offering a helpful baseline for future development planning. Just minutes from downtown Waynesville and close to the quieter Cataloochee Valley side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this location offers outdoor access, wildlife, and breathing room — without the congestion of the more heavily trafficked areas of the park. Lot 23 is ideal for someone who values elevation, flexibility, and a sense of perspective — the kind that only comes when the ground literally drops away beneath you.
