Build a high-elevation sanctuary in Balsam Mountain Preserve. Imagine waking up to crisp mountain air and breathtaking long-range views at an elevation of 3,500 feet where "sweater weather" is a year-round luxury. This premier 1.45 acre homesite features gentle, rolling topography, perfectly suited for a short effortless driveway and a custom walk-out basement design. By backing directly onto protected conservation land, your home is guaranteed privacy to capture uninterrupted wooded vistas that will never be developed. Located at the end of a private street just by Balsam's extensive private trail system and Dark Ridge Camp. Don’t miss this exceptional value for one of the best view homesites in this premier mountain community. Balsam Mountain Preserve designed as a "community within a park," is recognized as one of the lowest-density residential club communities in the Southeast where world-class amenities meet 4,400-acre private playground; 75% of the 4,400 acres is protected by a permanent conservation easement. So, whether it’s morning on the Arnold Palmer Signature course, an afternoon ride at the equestrian center, or a sunset hike on 40+ miles of private trails, the lifestyle here is unmatched!
