Nestled just 1.5 miles down scenic Elk Creek Road, this exceptional 26.7-acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a personal retreat only 15 minutes from Boone. Located within the highly desirable Parkway School District, this unrestricted tract of land features multiple build sites, making it great for a primary residence, vacation home, or investment property. A bold, year-round creek runs through the property and includes a beautiful waterfall, creating a serene natural backdrop. The land boasts both short-range and long-range layered views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with a sought-after southwest-facing orientation for incredible sunsets and abundant natural light. The property is easily accessible via a gravel entry road and includes a network of ATV trails for exploring the wooded landscape. With no restrictions, owners have the freedom to build and design without limitations. A recent soils test has already been completed, confirming suitability for a 3-4 bedroom home, and additional areas on the property are also expected to perk, offering even more flexibility. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful personal sanctuary or a unique investment opportunity, this tract offers unmatched privacy, scenic beauty, and convenience. Opportunities like this are rare—don’t miss your chance to own a truly special piece of the High Country. When parked on the property, main build site (with soils test) will be to the left up the hill. With some trees removed, you will have a 180º view from the valley to long range, layered mountain views. To view cleared build site higher up, follow the trail to the right, curving to the left to the cleared area.
