If you dream of living in the desirable "WALK TO TOWN" area of Highlands, this .85-acre parcel is the perfect spot to build your mountain retreat! Located just across from Ravenel Lake (the Biological-Station lake), the property offers stunning mountain and lake views. A charming babbling brook runs along one side of the property. Since the Highlands Biological Station owns the adjacent lot, you'll enjoy added privacy and easy access to a section of the Highlands Greenway trail. The building site has been partially cleared, and the entry to the driveway is in place. According to Highlands zoning, 50% of the parcel is buildable, and both public sewer and water are available. This is an exceptional opportunity to create your own private sanctuary in a quiet part of town while staying close to all the amenities. This peaceful location is just blocks away from the new Performing Arts Center and all that Highlands has to offer. Imagine calling this beautiful spot your Highlands home!
Directions: Take Highlands Hwy 64 East to right on Chestnut Street. Stay straight on Chestnut. Just past 6th Street the road becomes Lower Lake Road. The lot is on the left just past the Biological Station pavilion.
