Are you ready for a quiet community where, after entering the gate, the drive alone is calming and relaxing? Then welcome to Forest Heights! Enjoy the heritage of the Gibbs Mountain area and stake your claim to your piece of the smaller ridges below the crest. From your property, although the peak is only about 4000' to the south-southwest away and roughly 600' above you at approximately 2020' in elevation, you still may not actually get to see it! The wooded expanse of the Forest Heights around you (just as the name implies) may hinder unobstructed views from your property, but with every twist and turn of the road you'll find yourself gazing to see what spectacular beauty your eyes may behold. Rising to the north-northwest and where the hills and valleys dip below your heights, you'll find sporadic long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia; all the while being less than 10 miles from Lake James and even a round of golf at the Marion Lake Club. This 5.2 acre lot was combined (lot 72 and 170) by the developer and has 527.89' of road frontage with a drive cut-in previously and some gravel placed. It appears to also go down to a lower level of the property and the "flat" sections can somewhat be seen in some of the photos. The grade is such that a build site would be easily expected. Because the parcels 5+ acres, Covenants allow for an additional guesthouse (with restrictions). Short-term rentals are allowed. Whether taking a stroll along the road or through the woods or simply experiencing the views from every spot along the many different roadways throughout the Forest Heights community, the scenery will not disappoint. Be sure to plan time enjoying the outdoors at the pavilion with a cozy fireplace and picnic tables underneath the protection of the covered roof. Come build your forever or vacation home, set-up your twice per year seasonal getaway travel site, or start your short-term rental empire...Forest Heights awaits you...just come and see! Be sure to watch the virtual tour video to enjoy your new drive home!
