About this home

The "High-Altitude Sanctuary" at Cherry Hill Estates The Summit of Value: 2.12 Acres at 4,000 Feet Experience the pinnacle of high-elevation living in the prestigious gated enclave of Cherry Hill Estates. Positioned at an impressive 4,000 feet, this 2.12-acre estate site offers the crisp air and cool summer temperatures that define the authentic Blue Ridge lifestyle. While many high-altitude lots are defined by extreme cliffs and prohibitive build costs, this parcel stands out for its gentle, accessible topography, offering a remarkably builder-friendly canvas for your mountain retreat. Architectural Potential & Panoramic Vistas The property’s orientation is designed for the view-seeker. With strategic clearing, the lot reveals breathtaking, long-range mountain vistas that span the horizon. Imagine a home designed with floor-to-ceiling glass to capture the rolling blue ridges and shifting morning mists—a daily backdrop that remains evergreen. The gently sloping terrain not only simplifies foundation work but also allows for versatile floor plans, from a sprawling single-level lodge to a classic walk-out mountain cabin. Exclusivity Without the Overhead Cherry Hill Estates provides the security and prestige of a gated community with remarkably low overhead. With annual HOA fees of just $430, owners benefit from well-maintained roads and neighborhood integrity without the burden of high carrying costs. This makes the property an ideal "land bank" investment for future builders or a cost-effective site for a primary residence. The Opportunity Offered at an exceptional entry point of $22,700, this is a rare chance to secure significant acreage at a high elevation where inventory is increasingly scarce. Whether you are envisioning a weekend escape from the summer heat or a permanent high-country legacy, this elevated gem offers the perfect balance of altitude, ease of build, and affordability.
