It can be hard to find just the right house these days...far enough from downtown Black Mountain for privacy and a forested feel, but still within 15 minutes. From your home, you might not want to hear the interstate, but you would like to be able to get to it easily. Laurel Ridge is a unique community that is around 12 minutes from the middle of town. A pleasant and easy drive that lets you feel farther away. An abundance of wildlife and forested areas are the norm. Laurel Ridge adjoins the North Fork Valley and is adjacent to the protected 17,000 acre Asheville watershed. This lot is easily accessible and typifies that natural beauty of the area with Mountain Laurel, Rhododendron, hardwoods, and TWO creeks. There is an old roadbed into the lot that rises with the property to a potential building site on the knoll. Locating the home here would provide a wooded feel with the soothing sounds from the larger creek, Laurel Branch, which is nearby. This 1100 ac community has about 85 homes
