LT C28 Lodgepole Trail GORGEOUS LOT IN 1ST TIER COMMUNITY WITH BUILDING PLANS INCLUDED! Discover the opportunity to build your mountain retreat within Chinquapin, one of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau's most distinctive gated communities. Set across approximately 2, 000 acres of pristine Blue Ridge Mountain landscape, with nearly 700 acres permanently protected in conservation. Chinquapin was thoughtfully designed for those who want privacy, natural beauty, and an active mountain lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Life here revolves around the outdoors. Miles of private hiking, mountain biking, and UTV trails wind through forests, along ridgelines, past streams and hidden waterfalls. Cast a line for native brook and rainbow trout, spend the afternoon canoeing, or gather with family and friends at Camp Chinquapin, where fishing, hiking, biking, archery, campfires, and classic outdoor recreation create the feeling of a private mountain camp right outside your door. The community's impressive amenities also include brand-new pickleball courts, a driving range, disc golf course, activity field, fishing cabins along Robinson Creek, camping areas, guest cabins available to owners and The Outpost clubhouse with fitness facilities and gathering spaces. During the warmer months, neighbors come together for live music and community events at the Chinquapin Stage and Summer Concert Series. Homeowners even have access to an FAA-certified helipad, an uncommon amenity that adds another level of convenience to mountain living. Chinquapin borders the vast Panthertown Valley wilderness area of Nantahala National Forest, placing thousands of additional acres of waterfalls, trails, streams, and backcountry adventure practically in your backyard. Yet this peaceful mountain sanctuary is only minutes from Cashiers, with its acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and small-town charm, and convenient to Lake Glenville and many attractions. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, family gathering place, or mountain escape, this homesite offers much more than a place to build, it is an invitation to become part of a community centered around adventure, conservation, connection, and the extraordinary natural beauty of Western North Carolina.
