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.

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.

Rare find! This beautiful 20-acre property on Caney Fork offers approximately 1,000 feet of creek frontage, with the unique advantage of owning both sides of the creek. The property includes an existing house that will need to be torn down, but valuable infrastructure is already in place, including a private well, septic system, and overhead electric. A new bridge will also be needed, as the previous bridge was destroyed during Hurricane Helene. The property offers excellent recreational opportunities, with abundant wildlife including deer and wild turkey, as well as great fishing for native fish right along the creek. With exceptional creek frontage, acreage, wildlife, fishing, and infrastructure already on site, this is a unique opportunity to create your own private retreat, homestead, or recreational getaway.
