222 Sassafras Ln, Mars Hill, NC 28754

Property Description

A rare 21.68-acre land offering in the Mars Hill area, positioned near the NC 213 corridor with convenient connectivity to I-26 and the broader Asheville region. With substantial acreage, documented access history and a location surrounded by continued residential, commercial and infrastructure investment, 222 Sassafras Lane presents an uncommon opportunity for developers, investors and strategic land buyers. The property is located in Madison County's RA zoning district and is outside the Town of Mars Hill municipal limits. Its size, location, existing access rights and surrounding development create an opportunity to explore a range of future land uses, subject to applicable zoning, approvals and buyer due diligence. Location is a significant part of the story. NC 213 provides a direct connection through Mars Hill toward I-26, while the broader U.S. 19/23 corridor is the subject of ongoing NCDOT environmental and engineering studies for proposed improvements extending from Asheville to just south of Stockton Road near Mars Hill. The proposed project includes additional travel lanes along portions of the existing freeway, bridge replacements and pavement improvements. The surrounding Mars Hill corridor is also experiencing continued infrastructure investment, including water system improvements along NC 213 and planned wastewater infrastructure work extending along the Highway 213 corridor. These projects are part of the broader infrastructure landscape surrounding the property and should be evaluated independently by prospective buyers for applicability to the subject property. For the buyer looking beyond a typical residential tract, this is an opportunity to acquire scale in an established Western North Carolina community at a time when transportation and infrastructure investment are continuing to shape the Mars Hill corridor. Whether considered for residential development, another permitted use, or a longer-term land strategy, 222 Sassafras Lane offers a combination of acreage, location, access history and surrounding growth that is increasingly difficult to replicate. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own independent investigation regarding zoning, permitted uses, access, utilities, topography, development feasibility, governmental approvals and all other matters affecting the property.
