Beautiful 1-acre homesite offering the potential for breathtaking 270-degree long-range views in a peaceful, private mountain setting. A partially started clearing for a proposed homesite allows buyers to envision a future build and preview the view potential. A driveway is already in place leading toward the prospective building area. Ideal for a full-time residence or vacation retreat, this property offers privacy, scenery, and a quiet setting away from the hustle and bustle. The property is subject to recorded covenants and restrictions. Highlights include: Residential use only – one detached single-family home per lot Minimum 1,200 heated square feet Custom-built and modular homes permitted Manufactured/mobile homes not permitted One detached outbuilding allowed (must match home exterior) Covenants reference a Property Owners Association with annual dues of $250; however, there is currently no active HOA and no dues are being collected to the seller’s knowledge. Buyers are encouraged to have their agent independently verify HOA status, covenants, and any potential future obligations. Subdivision roads are private and built to county standards (may not meet state standards). Covenants are currently in effect through December 31, 2030 and automatically renew in 10-year increments unless amended by the owners. Ask your agent for a copy of the recorded covenants and restrictions.
