About this home
Imagine a long, slowly descending driveway with wooded surroundings on either side of the gentle slope inviting you home... Home to a picturesque setting waiting for your dream to come true; a quiet little place beside a creek somewhere in the woods. It's here! Find yourself in the beautiful Forest Heights gated community minutes from Lake James and Lake James State Park as well the gorgeous mountain views of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Golfing, hiking and biking opportunities abound in the area. This sloping-to-level, partially open property is bounded by Big Branch which flows intermittently along a cobble-gravel and bedrock streambed and awaits your future plans as it winds its way along the southern line of the property. RV stays are allowed for no more than 14 days out of 180 and short-term rentals ARE allowed, as well. Find your peaceful place in this serene setting and plan to stay for years to come. No matter which pocket of the of the property you choose to make yourself at home, your porch-time will be relaxing as you enjoy your wooded wonderland; or build right in the middle and peer down the long, shady drive to see your home welcome you each time your return. Either way, it will be splendid!
