180 degrees of Blue Ridge Mountain views, 12.43 acres and the hard work already done. Set at the end of a private road, this mountaintop homesite has been extensively prepared and is ready for its next owner. Significant work has gone into opening the view, transforming what was once an approximately 60 degree view into a sweeping 180 degree long range mountain panorama. The driveway has been professionally established and finished with #57 stone, leading to an approximately 2,500 square foot stabilized and graveled building pad with the corners already staked. A new entrance gate and fencing are in place, and septic and well evaluations have been completed. With the groundwork behind you, what’s left is the fun part. Design a full time residence, weekend mountain retreat or small horse property that takes full advantage of the views and setting. The lower portion of the acreage offers potential for small pasture, a barn or run in, giving you room to create a manageable setup for horses. For equestrians, the location gets even better. Ride straight from the property onto the FETA trail system putting miles of Hunt Country riding right outside your gate. Privately accessed through gated Hughes Creek Preserve, the property offers the feel and security of a gated setting without HOA covenants or dues. The views have been opened, the access improved and the homesite prepared. Now it’s ready for someone to take it from here and create something special in the heart of Hunt Country. Showings by appointment only.
