As indicated, the parcel can be divided into four estate-sized lots, but an owner may want to consider other options. A preliminary rendering of how the parcel can be utilized is available.

Regardless how a buyer may choose to proceed, the options are mesmerizing.Please check with the listing agents for other ideas about maximizing this beautiful place.

Owned by the same family since 1962, this enchanting mountain property boasts acres upon acres of untouched beauty. Nestled in the woods, the Alley homestead was Betty Alley's playground, where she reveled in nature, mountain vistas, and refreshing breezes. Family visits were filled with exploration, following Aunt Betty's trails, collecting rocks and pine cones, and watching wild turkeys roam through fern forests. Though time has taken its toll on the old home and small cabin, the land remains vibrant, with tall trees, abundant rhododendrons, and lush fern forests inviting hikes and discovery. A gentle stream provides a water source for deer and other wildlife, enhancing the property's natural charm. Bordered by the National Forest, this 38.78-acre parcel is ideal for another family homestead or potential development. Facing Whiteside Mountain, the old home once offered stunning mountain views, as remembered by the remaining family members. Experience the beauty of this land in the attached drone videos.

This property has a massive view into Blue Valley with mountains as far as the eye can see. It is a very tranquil, private setting with two ponds, a carport, a storage shed, and the foundation in the ground for a home. The owners' circumstances have changed and although it is painful for them to let go of this amazing tract, they know that is what needs to be done. They had plans for their guest home drawn by Mountainworks in Cashiers. Working with the architect, they designed a masterpiece that could truly be the main house. The plans for this fabulous home will go with the sale. The property can be subdivided and all sites will have spectacular views or it would be the perfect spot for a family compound. Brushy Face is just a couple of miles from Main Street in Highlands and boasts two great hiking trails that are maintained by the Highlands Land Trust.
