Big big views, and multiple building sites with multiple options!! This is a larger tract of land being offered for sale in the Elk Horn section of Leatherwood Mountains. Originally, these 30 plus acres made up three different lots, all with buildable sites. These lots were combined in order to make one larger tract of land, providing views over 180 degrees looking South and West. On a clear day Grandfather Mountain can be seen from any of the three building sites. Because this lot sits in the Elk Horn Section of Leatherwood Mountains, covenants allow for more than one residence to be built here, while only having one set of POA dues. The current owners now own a different home in the same neighborhood but were planning on building here. With the right offer the owners are glad to share more than one document pertaining to multiple building sites and plans for construction. With the elevation and views, sunsets can be enjoyed year round from this site... if you can imagine building your dream home, with a dream spot to enjoy the evening views, then this is the lot for you! Owners will be able to enjoy all that Leatherwood Mountains has to offer. There are over 50 miles of deeded horseback and hiking trails available to residents, and this lot sits directly adjacent to the trail system.
