25 Acres Bordering National Forest & Game Lands | Clear Creek Area
Welcome to Cheyenne Summit at Clear Creek, approximately 25 acres of unspoiled mountain land offering privacy, natural beauty, and remarkable potential in the peaceful Clear Creek area of Western North Carolina—all while being less than 15 minutes from Highlands Proper.
Tucked away on Cheyenne Drive and bordering National Forest and game lands, this heavily wooded property feels wonderfully removed from the everyday while remaining within easy reach of Highlands. Old logging and access roads wind throughout the acreage, providing a glimpse into the possibilities of the land and leading to multiple potential homesites along the way.
The true reward is found near the top. Here, the terrain opens to a surprisingly gentle, essentially flat area with the potential for spectacular 360-degree mountain views with selective clearing. Imagine a private mountain estate positioned at the summit, surrounded by mature trees and long-range views, with approximately 25 acres providing an incredible sense of seclusion.
For those thinking beyond a single residence, the acreage presents a variety of possibilities to explore. Multiple potential homesites could lend themselves to a private family compound or legacy property, while the property's wooded setting, existing logging roads, public-land adjacency, and mountaintop setting create an intriguing backdrop for a recreational or experiential mountain retreat.
Imagine hiking trails winding through the property, secluded cabins or glamping pods tucked among the trees, outdoor gathering spaces, and a mountaintop destination designed around sunsets, stargazing, and the quiet of the surrounding mountains. Any subdivision, commercial, hospitality, or alternative use would be subject to buyer verification and applicable approvals.
Whether your vision is a private mountain estate, family compound, recreational retreat, investment opportunity, or something entirely your own, Cheyenne Summit at Clear Creek offers the acreage and setting to dream big—with the rare combination of true mountain privacy and Highlands Proper less than 15 minutes away.
