Description

Mountain Forest Estates – 69.93 Private Mountain Acres Discover a rare opportunity in Mountain Forest Estates—69.93 breathtaking acres behind a private gate, offering unmatched privacy and stunning natural beauty. The property begins at a scenic old corn and moonshiners’ farmstead, complete with a restored 1800s cabin nestled in the hollow-valley and climbs the mountainside to spectacular panoramic long-range views from the top. Four ready-to-build homesites are already in place, each with water and underground electric available. Well-maintained, properly drained gravel roads provide easy access throughout the property. The land features stocked fishponds, a natural spring, and flowing branches, creating a peaceful mountain setting rich with character and history. This unique tract can also be accessed from the top of Mountain Forest Estates, offering convenient entry points and added flexibility for future development of a private family retreat. If you're looking for privacy, mountain views, and a property ready to build your dream home—or multiple homes—this one is truly special.
