Come see one of the highest private lots available in the Blue Ridge with a peak elevation of 5,750ft! This lot is oriented to the southeast offering stunning long-range layered mountain views over Pisgah National Forest and spectacular sunrise viewing. Temperatures up here are regularly 15-20 degrees cooler than in metro cities to the south, and the mountain breeze makes it feel even cooler.
The lot is in the private gated community of Hi-Mountain perched above the Blue Ridge Parkway on the side of Mt Lyn Lowry, near Waterrock Knob. Balsam firs dominate the forest. Shaded rock outcroppings sit on the forest floor made soft by a bed of pine needles and moss. US Forest Service and Conservation Trust land is close by. The well-maintained gravel entry road passes under the Parkway and a portion of the Mountains-To-Sea trail runs along the road.
A quarter acre has been cleared for a building pad, and the hillside downhill has been cleared to open up the view. Well is already installed, driveway is in excellent condition, and a gate is mounted at the entrance.
Two other properties are also available at the top of the mountain on Distant Ridge Rd. See: High Elevation Tract (MLS 3413914) and Distant Ridge Cottage (MLS 3452825).
