Unrestricted property with no zoning. The only unrestricted property in this area. The existing road network on-site offers easy access throughout the tract. Great development or conservation easement potential.
This is your chance to own THE KNOB of Buck Knob—a truly rare opportunity to claim a wanted mountaintop. This 32.58 acre mountaintop tract delivers gorgeous, long-range views in every direction, with a gentle topography and multiple level building sites ideal for a primary residence, guest house, gardens, or small pastures.
Tucked away at the end of the road, the property offers exceptional privacy and tranquility. It's further enhanced by bordering National Forest land on the North & West side. Buck Knob is notated on all regional maps—owning it means owning a piece of local geographic significance. This is literally the western edge of the Plateau. Uniquely positioned as the only property in the area with views of both the Appalachian Trail and the Bartram Trail.
Convenient to Highlands and within easy reach of Atlanta, Asheville, and Athens, this is a legacy-quality property—perfect for a private mountain retreat or long-held family compound.
