The story
There are few places where the landscape itself becomes the greatest asset. This is one of them. Stretching across 87 remarkable acres with panoramic mountain views, a peaceful pond, and approximately 1,300 feet of frontage along Mecca Pike, this is a property defined by space, privacy, and possibility. Bordering the Cherokee National Forest and Starr Mountain, with miles of additional riding, hiking, and recreational trails just beyond your property line, the landscape offers a rare balance of open pasture, privacy, and elevated homesites, creating a setting that's as practical as it is beautiful.

At the entrance to the property sits a custom-built home designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living. Nearly 1,600 square feet of finished space is complemented by over 700 square feet of heated, cooled, and garage space that can easily adapt to hobbies, recreation, equipment storage, or workshop use.

Behind the walls, the home was built with longevity in mind.
