Description
For those seeking privacy, acreage, and the freedom to create something truly personal in the mountains of Western North Carolina, this 30+/- unrestricted acre tract offers a rare and exciting opportunity. Offered as a portion of a 33.35+/- acre parcel, the property is privately tucked at the end of the road and bordered on two sides by USFS land, giving it a peaceful, protected feel while remaining approximately 15 minutes from Highlands and 30 minutes from Cashiers.
The land unfolds with a private pond, native rhododendron, wooded trails, gentle natural beauty, and several potential homesites where long-range mountain views may be opened with thoughtful tree limbing or clearing. A trail has already been cleared so the property can be toured with ease, allowing you to walk the land, take in the setting, and visit the charming old one-room cabin built when the current owner was a child. The cabin is not livable and is conveyed at no value, but it adds a nostalgic sense of history and character to the property.
With no HOA and no restrictions, the possibilities are unusually broad. Create a private mountain retreat designed around the views, develop multiple homesites, establish a quiet compound, enjoy the land for hunting or camping, explore timber or agricultural use, or hold it as a legacy property in a highly desirable mountain market. The combination of acreage, privacy, pond frontage, USFS adjacency, and potential view sites makes this offering especially compelling.
Beyond the property, the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau offers a celebrated lifestyle shaped by cool mountain air, outdoor adventure, cultural events, boutique shopping, dining, music, and year-round community gatherings. Spend the day exploring nearby trails and waterfalls, then enjoy Highlands events such as Saturday Music on Pine, Bear Shadow Concerts, and Chamber activities, or Cashiers favorites like Groovin’ on the Green, the Plein Air Festival, and seasonal social events. This is more than land; it is a canvas for an elevated mountain life, with room to dream, build, gather, explore, and preserve.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLots of disrespectful teachers, principal and everyone is more worried about your phone dropping out of your pocket and what the girls are wearing then if you get a quality education. I honestly cannot say anything good about this school except for about 5 teachers out of a lot. Librarian tells kids to shut up and yelled at us every time we went to get books. Kids sells lots of vapes and some weird stuff went down in the bathrooms that I can’t put online. WAYYY too concerned about girls clothes…it’s one thing if you’re wearing booty shorts but you would wear shorts that cover everything, and you have to change. PE favorites are always who is the best at the sports they play for them, not who actually tries. Only the curvy girls get dress codes btw, if you’re flat apparently they don’t care. A lockdown while I was there, lots of fights, kids making threats and posting about guns, etc. Crappy school.Other Review1y ago - Macon Early College High School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIn my experience having 3 kids now that have passed on through this school - It was the worst school my kids attended. My kids dreaded going. It was a chore to keep them positive and wanting to go and learn. Teachers let them do whatever they want. Never any homework My child was bullied non stop with no help of the principal to put an end to it. It was constant! Her grades were the worst at this school and she is a straight A student prior to attending here and most importantly she loved school before going to MVI. Personally most staff and faculty here make it seem they hate being a part of the team as well. Students are made to clean classrooms weekly for a full day. Dusting and wiping down cabinets. Receptionist is extremely rude and dull. Once my kids left MVI they began to thrive once again and be themselves. I was told they have no structure. If you don't have money you are nothing to the teachers and you are ahund and treated badly. The stats here that I have reviewed for where kids should be are absurdly low. Makes you wonder what's going on. If I had to go back I would definitely homeschool children during these 2 yrs to keep them from all the damage that happens here at this school. Would not ever recommend. And I know I'm not the only parent in this town that feels this way. Such a shame!!Parent Review1mo ago
