This exceptional Macon County property of 19.45+/- acres sits above 4,000 feet elevation, offering cool summer days and crisp mountain air. The unrestricted property features mature hardwoods and shares a border with the United States Forest Service land for over 1600 feet for ultimate privacy. Enjoy sweeping winter views today, or select-cut trees to unlock breathtaking, year-round summer vistas. A natural spring and an old concrete reservoir add unique, self-sustaining water infrastructure to the land. There are multiple potential home sites with a couple of roads already within the bounds of the property that need some improvements. The property is directly off of a state maintained gravel road for easy access. Perfectly positioned between Highlands, Cashiers, Franklin & Sylva, this rare mountain tract blends complete freedom with convenient access to Western North Carolina's premier destinations. If you're searching for a place to build your special mountain hideaway where the flora and fauna are plentiful, this might just be what you've been looking for.
