This remarkable property, tucked deep into a private forest, sprawls across 74 acres and culminates at nearly 4,700 feet in elevation. From this peak, you can enjoy sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in every direction. The charming, rustic lodge perched atop this virtually flat mountaintop provides the perfect off-grid getaway for someone who wants to immerse themselves in the grandeur of nature. Designed by renowned architect Tim Greene, it is offered as a furnished, turnkey opportunity. Or, build your dream home upon the unspoiled land and utilize the lodge as guest quarters. Just down from the lodge at the peak of the property, the rest of the acreage rests at about 4,200 feet in elevation. A traditional wooden barn still stands on the land, and you'll enjoy a mix of serene, lush forest and open meadows where wildflowers bloom and the wildlife roam freely. The gated community of Snowbird is comprised of large estate lots, with each home enjoying maximum privacy. Walking trails throughout the community invite an active, outdoor lifestyle. This unique opportunity beckons you to disconnect from modern life, get off the grid, relax, and dream.
