Back on the market... Buyer was not able to execute the contract. Septic Eval is good to 2029. 3 Bedroom. Property is fine. There is a kind of knowing that comes from the body before it reaches the mind. John Updike, in Hoeing, writes toward that truth—the slow, honest rhythm of work, the way land answers effort, the way attention itself becomes a form of prayer. The poem isn’t really about farming so much as it is about relationship: between hands and soil, time and patience, effort and reward. This land lives in that same conversation. Here, the ground is not asking to be conquered or corrected. It lies open and level, as if already prepared—inviting rather than demanding. The ease of the terrain is not an accident; it’s the result of years of care, of being worked and respected by a neighboring farm that understands the quiet intelligence of soil. You can feel it underfoot. This is ground that knows what it means to be useful, and also what it means to rest. The views stretch outward without effort. No climbing, no carving, no strain—just space unfolding naturally, the horizon meeting you where you stand. It’s the kind of openness that gives you room to breathe, room to think, room to imagine what life could look like if it weren’t rushed or crowded. And then there’s the creek. Not ornamental. Not seasonal. Not an afterthought. It moves with its own steady purpose, offering sound and motion and life to the land. Water like this doesn’t just decorate a property—it defines it. It draws wildlife, cools summer afternoons, and anchors the land in something timeless. Sit nearby long enough and you’ll notice how it recalibrates your sense of time, how conversations slow, how plans feel less urgent and more intentional. This property offers flexibility without chaos—rare ground that allows you to choose how you want to engage with it. Build a conventional home and settle in with permanence, confidence, and clarity. Or keep it recreational: pull in your camper, park with ease, and enjoy the land as it is, when you want it, without pressure or deadlines. The land doesn’t rush you. It never has. There’s also the very real potential for a hobby farm—one that doesn’t require heroic effort just to get started. The level ground, the history of cultivation nearby, the water, the openness—it’s all already here. This is land that remembers how to be worked and welcomes it again, if that’s what you choose. Like the act of hoeing in Updike’s poem, this place isn’t about spectacle. It’s about rhythm. About showing up. About letting effort be honest and reward be quiet. It’s about mornings that begin with mist over the creek and evenings that end with long shadows across open ground. It’s about land that doesn’t need to prove itself because it already knows what it is. Some properties shout. This one listens. And for the right person—the one who understands that stewardship can be both practical and poetic—it answers back.

Are you ready for a quiet community where, after entering the gate, the drive alone is calming and relaxing? Then welcome to Forest Heights! Enjoy the heritage of the Gibbs Mountain area and stake your claim to your piece of the smaller ridges below the crest. From your property, although the peak is only about 4000' to the south-southwest away and roughly 600' above you at approximately 2020' in elevation, you still may not actually get to see it! The wooded expanse of the Forest Heights around you (just as the name implies) may hinder unobstructed views from your property, but with every twist and turn of the road you'll find yourself gazing to see what spectacular beauty your eyes may behold. Rising to the north-northwest and where the hills and valleys dip below your heights, you'll find sporadic long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia; all the while being less than 10 miles from Lake James and even a round of golf at the Marion Lake Club. This 5.2 acre lot was combined (lot 72 and 170) by the developer and has 527.89' of road frontage with a drive cut-in previously and some gravel placed. It appears to also go down to a lower level of the property and the "flat" sections can somewhat be seen in some of the photos. The grade is such that a build site would be easily expected. Because the parcels 5+ acres, Covenants allow for an additional guesthouse (with restrictions). Short-term rentals are allowed. Whether taking a stroll along the road or through the woods or simply experiencing the views from every spot along the many different roadways throughout the Forest Heights community, the scenery will not disappoint. Be sure to plan time enjoying the outdoors at the pavilion with a cozy fireplace and picnic tables underneath the protection of the covered roof. Come build your forever or vacation home, set-up your twice per year seasonal getaway travel site, or start your short-term rental empire...Forest Heights awaits you...just come and see! Be sure to watch the virtual tour video to enjoy your new drive home!
