The four season Snowshoe Resort is 1.5 hours drive and is considered by many one of the premier vacation destinations on the east coast. With close proximity to I-64, the property offers easy interstate travel to major population centers, making it a fine second home opportunity which should benefit from an appreciating land value component over time.

SITE DESCRIPTION

The property's excellent access and diverse upland terrain can support numerous ownership goals with excellent outdoor recreational options. The farm benefits from abundant natural resources which include mature hardwood and pine forest, pastures, crop land, ponds, seasonal stream and level mountaintop home sites with some sites having 360 degree long range views. The pasture is currently being leased for grazing Black Angus cattle.

ACCESS/BOUNDARIES

Access to the property is provided by nearly 1.8 miles of frontage along the Kate's Mountain Road (CR30/34), a four season state maintained road. Electric service is already in place on the property. Most of the frontage is relatively flat to rolling. There is also a well established access trail in the eastern and southern quadrants that once was used to access the County fire lookout tower. The vicinity around the lookout tower offers a prime future building site for a private family estate with southern exposure and long range mountain views from an elevation of 3,171 feet.

Complementing access is an established network of hiking trails that extend throughout the forest and can be further enhanced to provide for entry of ATVs and horseback riding.

The property was surveyed by Rickford Walton, licensed surveyor, in August of 2005, resulting in 500.52 surveyed acres. Maps used in this report are based on survey information and tax map data.
