About High Valley

The Cherokee Indians considered the valley high in the mountains to be a special place. Generations later, a similar reverence descends upon those who enter the valley.

High Valley offers 310 carefully planned acres, 181.46 acres of which are in a permanent conservatory to ensure its pristine state for generations to come. The property offers massive annual tax reduction benefits and has the potential for two building homesites in the conservatory.

The current owners have invested time, effort and considerable resources to ensure the continued beauty of High Valley and the land on which it sits.
