This is a rare opportunity to acquire over 12 acres of land in the Bowery Road neighborhood of Highlands, North Carolina, located approximately 1.5 miles from Main Street. The property features a combination of pasture and long-standing forest, with rolling topography suitable for up to four house sites. The land offers potential for both short- and long-range views and provides a high degree of privacy. The property includes easy building sites and presents charming possibilities for development. It is suitable as an estate lot or a small, prestigious development. The property holds a piece of Highlands history, including an old well house, one of the few remaining in the area.

The parcel can be divided into four estate-sized lots, with options for utilizing one or two spots for new homes while potentially retaining the remainder as a preserved community area for future generations, subject to validation with financial and Land Trust officials.
