Discover a rare 163-acre mountain-top property offering unmatched development versatility, panoramic 20-mile views, and exceptional existing amenities—perfect for builders, investors, and hospitality or entertainment visionaries. The Ranch at Pine Mountain provides an immediate foundation for large-scale concepts such as home site builds, retreat campuses, wedding/event venues, corporate getaway facilities, youth camps, equestrian operations, or an outdoor adventure business. The property features a fully furnished lodge with substantial income potential, an 8-court lighted pickleball complex, a stunning sunset-facing pool, and over 20 acres of lakes ideal for waterfront activities. Scenic trails, quiet interior roads, and elevated build sites deliver a unique blend of natural beauty and functional readiness. Significant infrastructure is already in place—including underground utilities, electricity from TEVC, water access from Brushy Creek Co-op, multiple wells, and thoughtfully designed gravel interior roads. Portions of the acreage already include unrecorded platted lots and a flexible HOA framework, allowing developers to adapt or repurpose the existing layout to suit a wide range of investment models. With an agricultural exemption that helps reduce holding costs and a portfolio of existing amenities that would take years and millions to replicate, this mountaintop ranch represents an extraordinary opportunity for developers seeking a turnkey, amenity-rich landscape ready for thoughtful expansion and high-return vision
