Long range views from this cleared lot in beautiful Alarka Highlands. Gated community. An absolutely beautiful location for a mountain home or vacation rental. Very long driveway leading to the private lot. Would recommend walking down to the pad, small tree is blocking the drive. Balsam West internet in the Subdivision, so chances of high-speed internet are good but would need to be confirmed.
