Lot 15 Highlands Gorge Point, Franklin, NC

About Lot 15 Highlands Gorge Point

This property is a premier riverfront lot in the Highlands Plateau area. There are limited properties along the majestic Cullasaja River, and none rival this lot's setting in the Highlands Gorge, overlooking the rushing waters with views that will forever be preserved with surrounding National Forestland. The property is within the Highlands Gorge community, with power, a shared well, and paved access. The 1.33-acre parcel includes ownership to the mid-way point in the Cullasaja River and contains both sides of Crow Creek, a stunning, rushing mountain stream that cascades through the property and joins the river. With gently sloping terrain, an ideal building site runs along the bank of the property's 180' river frontage. Enhancing the ability to plan the lot, it also provides a quarter-acre easement on the adjacent parcel upon which prior approval has been obtained for septic. The property has been surveyed for topography and trees and shown with this listing are the owner/architect's conceptual plans of a three-bedroom, timber-framed home and detached cabin to help visualize the potential. Found just two short turns off Highway 64 between Franklin and Highlands, this is an extraordinary opportunity to create a secluded, riverfront home in the forested lands of the Highlands River Gorge. Fish and explore this otherwise inaccessible stretch of river as it extends through the National Forest to Cullasaja Falls, and enjoy the year-round grandeur of this unspoiled, natural landscape.
