Are you ready for a quiet community where, after entering the gate, the drive alone is calming and relaxing? Then welcome to Forest Heights! Enjoy the heritage of the Gibbs Mountain area and stake your claim to your piece of the smaller ridges below the crest. The wooded expanse of the Forest Heights around you (just as the name implies) surround your nestled location in the woods and with every twist and turn of the road you'll find yourself gazing to see what spectacular beauty your eyes may behold; all the while being less than 10 miles from Lake James and even a round of golf at the Marion Lake Club. This almost 1.5 acres with 190.12' of road frontage and gradually sloping property would create majestic views from your deck or porch from any location. From your property near the end of the cul-de-sac, you'll enjoy views of ridgelines to the north (from the rear of the lot) and the south (road frontage view). If you are on the hunt for an escape to the mountains, this road frontage portion of the property is large enough with little to no grade work required for a seasonal vacation spot for your motorhome. Whether taking a stroll along the road or through the woods or simply experiencing the views from every spot along the many different roadways throughout the Forest Heights community, the scenery will not disappoint. Be sure to plan time enjoying the outdoors at the pavilion with a cozy fireplace and picnic tables underneath the protection of the covered roof. Come build your forever or vacation home, set-up your twice per year seasonal getaway travel site, or start your short-term rental empire...Forest Heights awaits you...just come and see! Be sure to watch the virtual tour video to enjoy your new drive home!
