Land

All four lots total 45.73 acres. This area is considered the foothills of the famous Blue Ridge Mountains. The lots are accessible directly from the end of the cul-de-sac on Idlewild Drive. The terrain slopes down from the paved road to the south and western boundary lines. The land is covered with big timber and has a creek, called Allen Branch, that runs along the western boundaries. The topography is hilly, but there are some ridges that could allow you to build that perfect mountain cabin overlooking the valley to south and west! The current owners have constructed roads and hiking paths on the property and you can reach the creek bottom with some decent effort.


Recreation

The land itself has multiple trails ready for ATVs and side-by-sides. There are also hiking trails across the property and you can enjoy Allen Branch that runs along the western boundary lines. The neighborhood is very quiet and all roads are paved so you could enjoy a nice walk or bike ride through the community.
The South Mountain State Park is only 24 miles away! There you can enjoy camping, hiking trails, horseback riding trails, mountain bike trails, fishing, paddling and much more!
