11.15 ACRES • WELL • SEPTIC • ATV/UTV COMMUNITY Escape to your own mountain retreat! Located inside the gated Buck Mountain community, this 11.15-acre wooded property offers privacy, mountain scenery and an established recreational retreat with well, septic, electricity and plumbing already in place. The existing 229-square-foot structure is currently used as a tiny mountain cabin. The driveway is badley damaged and washed away and is currently scheduled to be graded. A Certificate of Occupancy has not been issued for the existing structure. Buyers should verify with Wilkes County all requirements for permitting, occupancy and intended use. Please be advised that part of the front porch has caved in and the back stairs are not safe. The structure itself sits on 4 cylinder blocks and is safe to walk into. The pictures shown here are from 1 year ago and the cabin needs a lot of cosmetic work. The driveway is badley damaged and washed away and is currently scheduled to be graded. Inside, the cozy cabin has potential to a warm, rustic character with wood-paneled interiors, a comfortable living area, bathroom, wood-burning stove, kitchen area and inviting outdoor space surrounded by mature trees. The property also includes a storage building and established utility infrastructure. The acreage offers plenty of room to enjoy the mountain setting, explore your property and create your own weekend getaway. Whether you envision maintaining the existing recreational retreat, pursuing the necessary county approvals for future use, or planning a future mountain home, this property offers an opportunity to create something special in the mountains. And then there's the Buck Mountain Community. This gated community is designed for those who love the outdoors, with ATV/UTV trails, hiking trails, streams, parks, a stocked fishing pond and community waterfalls, including beautiful Staghorn Falls. Miles of roads and trails provide countless opportunities to explore the surrounding mountain landscape. Imagine spending your morning riding the trails, hiking through the woods or fishing at the community pond, then returning to your own 11.15 acres to relax around the fire and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the forest. The property combines substantial acreage, established well and septic infrastructure, an existing recreational structure and access to an incredible mountain recreation community. Located in Purlear with convenient access to Boone, Blowing Rock, West Jefferson, Wilkesboro and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
