30.04 Acres of Land for Sale in Highlands, North Carolina

Rarely does a land tract of this size, privacy, and flexibility become available so close to Highlands. This 30+/- unrestricted acre portion of a 33.35+/- acre parcel offers end-of-road privacy, a private pond, and two sides bordered by USFS land, creating a remarkable sense of seclusion while remaining approximately 15 minutes from Highlands and 30 minutes from Cashiers. A cleared trail invites you to experience the property with ease, from quiet wooded corridors and native rhododendron to the charming old one-room cabin built when the current owner was a child, conveyed at no value.
