6268 Hemlock Lane Want a western North Carolina mountain property with some elbow room and in a protected neighborhood? Here you go. 2.5 wooded acres in Upper Creek Acres, a quiet gated mountain community at about 3, 700 feet elevation. There are hardwoods, native rhododendron, cool rock formations, privacy and some pretty sweet winter views. And the best part? A 3-bedroom septic permit is already in place. The well is already there, too (pump is not included), so you're not starting completely from scratch. Upper Creek Acres borders U.S. Forest Service land and Upper Creek, and you're just a short drive from Linville Gorge and the Blue Ridge Parkway. If your idea of a good day involves hiking, exploring, sitting on a porch or simply getting the heck away from town, this could be your place. Rules say homes must be at least 1, 200 square feet. Spectrum fiber now available.
