One of a few premier view lots still available in Cross Creek Preserve! Perched at 4,200 feet elevation, this property is situated on the left end of the cul-de-sac at the tip-top of Piney Knob Trail and offers breathtaking long-range views. Gentle topography from this northerly-facing home site makes building more convenient, and there is an expired 4 bedroom septic permit on file. Cross Creek Preserve, a gated community, embraces a low-key, well-maintained atmosphere with a charming covered bridge entrance and multiple common areas dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the surroundings. The tranquil pond area is where residents can partake in activities like kayaking, fishing in the stocked trout lake, or gathering around a community fire ring for a campfire. Ideally positioned between Cashiers and Highlands, it shares proximity with upscale neighborhoods like Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club, Old Edwards Club, Glen Cove, Trillium Links & Lake Club, and Norton Overlook. The nearby Town & Country General Store supplies you with provisions for mountain living. With just 24 estate-sized home sites and a handful of million-dollar-plus homes already constructed, Cross Creek stands as a hidden gem, a mere 5.5 miles from the Cashiers Crossroads. Building a residence in Cross Creek requires a minimum square footage of 1,800. The construction process is facilitated by the inclusion of underground utilities and the availability of a community water system hookup at the roadside. Enjoy gated community living with low POA fees and water usage included.
