    Discover a rare opportunity in the scenic Turtle Pond area with this versatile 3.75-acre property encompassing five beautiful, wild trout creekfront parcels along picturesque Turtle Pond Creek and Piney Knob Fork Creek. Surrounded by natural beauty, the property offers an exceptional combination of mountain, meadow, and creek views, along with privacy and exciting possibilities for future use.

A spacious deck overlooks the gently laying grounds, providing an ideal vantage point for enjoying the peaceful mountain setting and soothing sounds of the creek. The home features two spacious private bedroom suites plus an additional upstairs bedroom.

Four additional lots enhance the property's privacy while also providing opportunities for additional homes or a family compound. One of the lots already has a septic system and well in place, adding even more flexibility for future development. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the neighborhood's proximity to U.S. Forest Service lands, providing access to miles of hiking and exploration throughout the surrounding area. Turtle Pond is known for its scenic mountain setting while offering convenient access from both Highway 64 and Highway 106. Whether envisioned as a private mountain retreat, family compound, or property with future development potential, this unique creekfront offering provides endless possibilities in one of the area's most naturally beautiful settings. This house is only 4 miles to Downtown Highlands.
