About this home

**Build-Ready Mountain Homesite Near Highlands, NC – No HOA Restrictions & Much of the Hard Work Is Already Done!** Why spend months clearing land, installing utilities, and preparing a homesite when so much of the work has already been completed? **Recently verified: this property is not located within the HOA and is not subject to HOA restrictions**, giving you greater flexibility to bring your mountain property vision to life. Located just inside the North Carolina state line from Georgia, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to begin building sooner while enjoying easy access to **Highlands, Cashiers, and Lake Glenville**—three of Western North Carolina's most sought-after destinations for outdoor recreation, fine dining, shopping, and mountain living. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the extensive site preparation that sets this property apart. A driveway has already been graded into the property with the first layer of gravel in place, providing easy access for construction and future use. The homesite itself has been professionally graded and prepared for a home with a **fully exposed walk-out basement and main-level living above**, allowing you to maximize both your home's design and the surrounding mountain setting. Even better, many of the time-consuming pre-construction steps have already been addressed. A survey has been completed, underground power has been installed to the property for convenient connection, and both a septic permit and well permit have been obtained. The property deed also provides the option of utilizing the community well if preferred, offering additional flexibility as you plan your build. A building permit had previously been pulled, giving the next owner a significant head start in the development process; buyers should verify the current status and requirements of all permits with the appropriate authorities. Another standout feature is the property's **road frontage on two sides**, offering convenient access and additional flexibility for driveway placement, home orientation, and future landscaping. Whether your vision includes expansive outdoor living spaces, a wraparound porch, or a home designed to capture the surrounding mountain beauty, this property provides an excellent foundation to bring those plans to life. The location is equally impressive. Just minutes from Highlands, you'll enjoy award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, art galleries, live entertainment, and the timeless charm that has made the area one of the Southeast's premier mountain destinations. Nearby Cashiers offers its own unique small-town atmosphere, while Lake Glenville provides opportunities for boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and lakeside relaxation. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being close to countless hiking trails, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, and national forest lands that make this region so desirable year-round. Whether you're looking to build your forever home, a seasonal mountain escape, or an investment property, this property offers outstanding potential. The combination of completed site work, underground utilities, flexible water options, **freedom from HOA restrictions**, and an exceptional location means you can spend less time navigating the early stages of development and more time focusing on designing the mountain home you've always envisioned. With much of the groundwork already completed and the property recently confirmed to be outside the HOA and not subject to its restrictions, this is an opportunity to create a mountain property with greater flexibility in a highly desirable location. Come explore the possibilities and imagine the mountain lifestyle waiting for you just minutes from Highlands, Cashiers, and beautiful Lake Glenville.
