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.

WANTED: A Dream Builder with Vision and Grit This one is for the dreamers, the doers, and the ones who can see potential where others just see overgrowth. Sitting on 103 acres, this property is full of character and waiting for someone ready to bring it back to life. Once home to a cozy farmhouse, you will still find two original stone fireplaces standing proud as a nod to what once was. There is a creek that winds through in several spots, a few natural caves tucked away, and plenty of open areas just waiting to be cleared for a homesite, garden, or maybe a few four-legged friends. The old barn still stands, weathered but strong, and the former home site has power access, a well, and a septic system. The condition of those is unknown, but the potential is there. The property is bordered by conservation land at the top and along one side, giving you peace, privacy, and room to roam. You will see the original photos marked to show where everything once was, so you can imagine how easily, with a bush hog and a little vision, this land could be transformed back to its well-manicured glory.
