This beautifully surveyed property comes complete with a professionally identified build site and thoughtfully selected house plans, taking much of the uncertainty out of mountain construction. The homesite has been strategically positioned to work with the natural terrain, and with light, selective clearing, the property can open to a beautiful mountain backdrop while maintaining the privacy and serenity of its wooded setting. Bring your builder, walk the surveyed building envelope, and see just how easily your future mountain retreat can come to life. Located within Chinquapin, one of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau’s most distinctive gated communities, this property offers access to approximately 2,000 acres of pristine Blue Ridge Mountain landscape, including nearly 700 acres permanently protected in conservation. Chinquapin was thoughtfully designed for those seeking privacy, natural beauty, and an active mountain lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Life here revolves around the outdoors. Miles of private hiking, mountain biking, and UTV trails wind through forests and along ridgelines, streams, and hidden waterfalls. Cast a line for native brook and rainbow trout, spend an afternoon canoeing, or gather with family and friends at Camp Chinquapin, where fishing, hiking, biking, archery, campfires, and classic outdoor recreation create the feeling of a private mountain camp right outside your door. Community amenities include brand-new pickleball courts, a driving range, disc golf course, activity field, fishing cabins along Robinson Creek, camping areas, guest cabins available to owners, and The Outpost clubhouse with fitness facilities and gathering spaces. During the warmer months, neighbors come together for live music and community events at the Chinquapin Stage and Summer Concert Series. Homeowners even enjoy access to an FAA-certified helipad—an uncommon amenity offering an additional level of convenience to mountain living. Chinquapin also borders the vast Panthertown Valley wilderness area of Nantahala National Forest, placing thousands of additional acres of waterfalls, trails, streams, and backcountry adventure practically in your backyard. Yet this peaceful mountain sanctuary is just minutes from Cashiers and convenient to Lake Glenville, acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and the many attractions of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, family gathering place, or mountain escape, this homesite offers something increasingly rare: the opportunity to begin with much of the groundwork already done, within a community centered around adventure, conservation, connection, and the extraordinary natural beauty of Western North Carolina.
