    Description

    This exceptional Macon County property of 19.45+/- acres sits above 4,000 feet elevation, offering cool summer days and crisp mountain air. The unrestricted property features mature hardwoods and shares a border with the United States Forest Service land for over 1600 feet for ultimate privacy. Enjoy sweeping winter views today, or select-cut trees to unlock breathtaking, year-round summer vistas. A natural spring and an old concrete reservoir add unique, self-sustaining water infrastructure to the land. There are multiple potential homesites with a couple of roads already within the bounds of the property that need some TLC. The property is directly off of a state maintained road for easy access. Perfectly positioned between Highlands, Cashiers, and Sylva, this rare mountain tract blends complete freedom with convenient access to Western North Carolina's premier destinations.

      "It’s beautiful and appears to be a great place to raise a family. I used to come here as a child back in the 70’s with my parents and it’s still as I remember it. Quaint and beautiful. "
    • Karie.mcclure
      "not sure only a renter at this point but love how safe And low key it is .. great weather as well nice people "
    • Pam
      "Great small town. Elevation 4000 feet plus. Friendly residents. Lots to do for a small town. A little pricy, but worth it. Great hiking and waterfalls galore. Dog friendly neighborhood and town."
    • Christine B.
      "It's a very friendly community. When the tourists come to town for the season it gets overcrowded but some non locals are really friendly. "
    • Bill B.
      "I live here and love the weather, hiking trails, water falls, and the National Forest. 4,118 feet elevation provides cool weather in the summer."
    • Susan C.
      "What a beautiful place to live ... there is nothing as peaceful or beautiful as the mountains and this lovely, quaint town."
    • Rick C.
      "There's no Wal-Mart or fast food joints. Life in the mountains has an easier pace. You are removed from the city, but that's why we live here, to get away from it all. There is a world class spa, fine dining on smaller scale, exquisite shops. Think Breckinridge, without the skiing.Beautiful mountains, hiking, mountain biking, floral life, live music, plays, wineries, what more do you want?"
    • carolrosen
      "Great area, lovely home, easy comfortable living"
    • John D.
      "A great place to spend the summer, and within walking distance to town."
    • Nadine P.
      "A wonderful community with a year round caretaker, pool, tennis courts and swimming pool plus it is gated. Certainly not a necessity in Highlands! I would recommend King Mtn to anyone looking for lush foliage, fantastic views and wonderful amenities."
    • Nadine P.
      "I have lived in Highlands, NC for 7 years and still upon returning from out of town get a peacefulness when I hit Main St or the Gorge Rd from Franklin. Prettiest place anywhere...you must visit!"
    • Dorothy S.
      "You will find that people are extremely friendly. We have four mild seasons. Winter is wonderful. Nothing is better than curling up with a book in front of a crackling fire."
