Step onto secluded land apart from the modern world, where lush moss blankets the rocks and flowers grow wild amidst the forest. Here, you will find approximately 25 unrestricted acres of gently laying, usable land with multiple sites to build your dream home or family estate. Use the land as you wish; without restrictions, you can create your own private paradise according to your unique specifications! Multiple terraced rock walls provide historic interest and potential landscaping features. Choose a site near one of the two streams, and the soothing sound of water will become the soundtrack of your mountain escape. The headwaters running through the property eventually form Mill Creek. The scenic location in the Yellow Mountain area ensures privacy, yet you're just 25 minutes from the dining, shopping, and entertainment of Cashiers and Highlands. In the other direction, seek outdoor adventure on Lake Glenville, where you can fish, hike, boat, or simply relax on the public beach. Time to turn your mountain life dreams into your reality!
