A 550-acre swath of land in Swannanoa, once the site of Tiger Woods’ first planned North American golf course, is up for sale for $19 million. It’s the second time the property has hit the real estate market after plans to develop the site fell apart in the late 2000s.
The property, located 17 miles east of Asheville, has had two owners since Woods visited in 2007. The whole 800-acre site sold in 2019 for $15.3 million, according to Citizen Times reporting . The 400 Spring Mountain Road property is tax-appraised at $2.3 million and is currently owned by the South Carolina-based New Fort LLC.
Former owner David Straus told the Citizen Times in 2019 the property was sold that year for $15.3 million due to expenses and a lack of interest in the land.

“We didn’t really want the property anymore and there were a lot of expenses involved in it,” Straus told the Citizen Times in July 2019. “At that point, the house we had on it we would use to vacation on it had been torn down to make way for the golf course. It really didn’t have the kind of value to us anymore that we wanted, so we had been trying to sell it for a number of years.”
