About this land
This diverse 69+/- acre property in Highland County offers a premier setup for sportsmen, nature lovers and farmers, highlighted by over 2,000 feet of Back Creek-a native trout stream running right through the center. It balances turn-key infrastructure with raw outdoor appeal, making it an ideal choice for a hunting retreat, fishing getaway, or self-sufficient homestead. For the outdoor enthusiast, the clean mountain water provides immediate trout fishing access, while the diverse terrain of mature upland hardwood forest and dense white pine groves holds consistent populations of deer, turkey, bear, grouse, and small game. Hobby farmers will appreciate the 25 acres of level, fertile bottomland hay meadows and pastures positioned right along the creek, complete with an existing, producing apple orchard and partial fencing ready to accommodate livestock or rotational grazing. The land is completely build-ready with multiple choice sites for a home or cabin, featuring over 1,600 feet of easy, paved road frontage, a modern drilled and capped well, previous septic perk approval, and both electricity and high-speed fiber-optic broadband already on-site. While offering total privacy, the acreage remains highly accessible, sitting just 20 minutes from the town of Monterey, 25 minutes from boating at Lake Moomaw, 35 minutes from the luxury amenities at The Omni Homestead Resort, and 40 minutes from skiing at Snowshoe Mountain Resort. Call today to schedule your private showing and tour this exceptional mountain acreage.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
