Are you ready to build your DREAM HOME? Live ACROSS THE STREET from the WATERFALL on WALKINGSTICK Road. Hear the rush of the water as it glides over the rock outcroppings of the Walkingstick waterfall. View Video: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=tAR82xhyAQ4 Exceptional 2-acre homesite comprised of two contiguous 1-acre parcels, offering the rare opportunity to build one private estate or two separate homes. Located across from Walkingstick Falls along Big Creek, the property is defined by the soothing sound of a nearby waterfall echoing through the valley, an extraordinary sensory feature that sets this land apart. Situated in an established neighborhood of beautiful homes, the elevated site provides privacy while remaining part of an upscale mountain community. Power is already in place; septic and well to be added. Gently sloped terrain allows for flexible building options and potential deck or outdoor living spaces designed to capture the waterfall sound and mountain ambiance. Just ten minutes from downtown Highlands via the scenic Horse Cove Road, offering a peaceful country approach with easy access to dining, shopping, and cultural amenities. A rare combination of natural beauty, build flexibility, and prime location as it backs up to the National Forest. An exceptional property!

Horse Cove may not be heaven but in my book it's as close as it gets. This 5.37+/- acres in scenic and coveted Horse Cove has no zoning, no deed restrictions, and no HOA. Big Creek passes through part of the property as it continues on to USFS lands where the water is rushing and the falls can be heard. Talk about privacy! Driveway has been roughed in around property with enough clearing here and there to see how gentle the land lies. No matter how busy town gets. .. .just a few miles to Horse Cove and your back in the mountains. Enjoy and respect 'Mother Nature' at her finest.
