Scarce Private Land in Swain County

Buying land in Swain County can be a challenge because very little of the land is privately owned. In all, 87% of the county – over 500 square miles – is owned by the federal government, either as part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or U. S. Forest Service.

The remaining 13% is highly valued because the stunning views that make this land so beautiful won't be consumed by development. This scarcity tends to drive prices up as there are usually more people who want to buy land in the county than there are people willing to sell it.

Located just outside of Bryson City, North Carolina this property is in a perfect location to enjoy the activities of Bryson City as well as neighboring Cherokee and Asheville.
