Macon County - TBD Highlands Gate Drive, Lot#WP001, Highlands, NC
Located in the desirable mountain community of Highlands Gate Estates, this 1.38 acre tract offers an opportunity to own property in one of the most recognizable mountain destinations in Western North Carolina. Set in the Highlands area of Macon County, this property combines the appeal of a gated mountain community with convenient access to Highlands, surrounding recreation, scenic mountain roads, and the many attractions that make this area a sought-after destination. The location is the story here. Highlands is known for its elevated mountain setting, cool summer climate, waterfalls, hiking opportunities, scenic landscapes, and access to the natural beauty of the southern Appalachian Mountains. Highlands Gate Estates places this property within that mountain environment while providing the added convenience of a gated community and relatively easy access to the community's main entrance and the surrounding highway network. At approximately 1.38 acres, this tract provides a manageable amount of mountain land without requiring the ownership responsibilities associated with a much larger acreage tract. The terrain is steep and mountainous, but that characteristic may also create an opportunity to design a home that works with the natural contours of the property. A potential homesite could allow a future residence to be tucked into the mountainside, creating a setting that feels connected to the surrounding landscape while maintaining separation from the road and neighboring properties. The property's topography is an important part of its character. The steep terrain can provide natural buffers and elevation changes throughout the tract, potentially allowing a home, driveway, and outdoor living areas to be incorporated into the landscape rather than placed on a large, cleared building site. The exact location and feasibility of a homesite should be determined through buyer due diligence, including a survey, site evaluation, soil or septic evaluation, driveway assessment, engineering review, and confirmation of all applicable Highlands Gate Estates restrictions. For someone interested in owning property near Highlands, the combination of location and access is difficult to overlook. From the community, you can enjoy the mountain environment of the Highlands area while remaining connected to nearby roads and the amenities of the surrounding communities. Highlands offers a variety of restaurants, shops, galleries, lodging, outdoor recreation, and community events, creating a destination that attracts visitors and property owners throughout the year. The surrounding mountains also provide an extensive range of recreational opportunities. Hiking trails, waterfalls, fishing waters, scenic overlooks, forests, and other outdoor destinations are found throughout the Highlands and greater Nantahala region. The Nantahala National Forest surrounds much of the broader area and provides thousands of acres of public land for outdoor recreation. Macon County also provides access to portions of the Appalachian Trail and the Nantahala River system, further adding to the recreational appeal of the region. The property may also appeal to buyers looking for a mountain retreat that provides a convenient starting point for exploring Western North Carolina. Highlands is positioned near other popular mountain destinations, including Cashiers and Franklin, while Asheville is within the broader regional driving area. The area's winding mountain roads provide access to waterfalls, overlooks, forestland, lakes, rivers, hiking trails, and numerous small mountain communities. Highlands Gate Estates offers the added benefit of a gated residential setting. Buyers should review all recorded covenants, restrictions, association documents, road-maintenance agreements, architectural requirements, utility information, and building guidelines applicable to the property. Mountain properties can also involve additional considerations related to slope, driveway construction, foundations, drainage, septic systems, and utilities, so a thorough property evaluation is recommended before making building decisions. The location also creates an opportunity to enjoy the Highlands area without needing a large tract of land. With 1.38 acres, the property can provide a foothold in the mountains while keeping the focus on the surrounding community, recreation, and lifestyle opportunities. The steep terrain and wooded mountain setting may provide natural privacy and separation, while the location near the community entrance helps maintain practical access. If you have been looking for mountain land near Highlands, North Carolina, this property deserves a closer look. The combination of Highlands Gate Estates, gated community access, 1.38 acres, steep mountain terrain, potential for a tucked-away homesite, and convenient access to Highlands and surrounding roads creates an attractive opportunity for a future mountain residence or retreat. Imagine coming home to the mountains of Western North Carolina and having Highlands, waterfalls, hiking, forests, scenic drives, restaurants, shops, and outdoor recreation within the surrounding area. This is an opportunity to establish your own place in the Highlands area and create a mountain home that takes advantage of the natural terrain. The property is being offered as 1.38 acres in Highlands Gate Estates. Prospective buyers should independently verify acreage, boundaries, access, utilities, building restrictions, septic suitability, road conditions, and all other property characteristics during due diligence.

Macon County - 4136 Rose Creek Rd, Franklin, NC
Eighty seven acres and over 1,800 feet of river frontage. Long range mountain views that change with every season. Land like this, forest and meadow, protected, and still full of possibility, rarely comes up for sale in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is the kind of property that gets bought once and held for generations.
This is land built for a legacy retreat, an equestrian estate, or a small conservation minded community, with paved road access and just minutes to downtown Franklin. Asheville and Atlanta are both an easy drive, close enough for regular trips, far enough that this still feels like a retreat. It's the rare tract with room to build a lasting homeplace, with space to expand over time.
Fifteen acres of open, manicured pasture roll out below the tree line, ready for horses, hay, or development with a view in every direction. Another twenty five acres of former pastureland have grown into young forest, layered with color and texture, while established woodlands climb the ridges with trails already cut through them for hiking and wildlife watching.
The Little Tennessee River runs along the edge of the property, protected by a conservation easement that still allows grazing, crops, hiking trails, a canoe or kayak launch, and even a covered picnic gazebo, so the working, recreational character of the land stays fully intact for whoever owns it next. A separate state backed easement protects several streams on the property, where active restoration work is already underway, adding lasting ecological value at no cost to the owner.
Few properties offer this much frontage, this much usable ground, and this level of protection all in one place. It's a rare foundation for whatever comes next, whether that's a homeplace, a working farm, or land held simply for the sake of holding it.

Set on four remarkable acres just moments from town, this estate is more than a beautiful home it is part of Highlands enduring story. The property traces its origins to the early influence of the Ravenel family of Charleston, whose extensive landholdings helped shape the Plateau. Today, these acres carry forward that legacy, offering a rare sense of continuity and place. What makes this offering especially rare is the land itself. Unlike many in-town properties, these four acres are largely usable opening the door to a more intentional way of living. Whether envisioned as a gentleman s farm, greenhouse, or thoughtfully designed family compound, the property lends itself naturally to a more sustainable lifestyle all just minutes from Main Street. Built circa 1922 by the Evins family and thoughtfully restored by builder John Underwood with design by architect Sam Edgens, the home honors its history while living comfortably for today. A gated entrance and laurel-lined drive lead to an elegant three-story mountain colonial of approximately 6,500 square feet. Inside, original oak and antique chestnut floors harvested from the land, stone fireplaces, handcrafted millwork, & more than 60 windows create warmth and scale. In-floor hydronic heating on the first and second levels ensures year-round comfort. The chef s kitchen, with its own fireplace, invites both casual mornings and refined entertaining, while spa-inspired baths and flexible third-floor spaces support everyday living and hosting alike. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with stone patios, a Rumford-style fireplace, heated pool, and spa surrounded by mature plantings. The home sits on the continental divide so rain from the front flows towards the west and rain from the back of the home flows east. An activity barn, trails, and expansive lawns offer space for recreation and reflection, while a guest cottage & additional accommodations above the garage support a multi-generational retreat. Just beyond, the Rhododendron Trail connects to Ravenel Lake, Sunset Rock, & downtown Highlands. This is a legacy property, private, connected, and increasingly rare.
