Perched at over 4,000 feet of elevation, this 5.56-acre parcel on Buck Creek Road is unlike anything else available on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. The heavy lifting is already done: a four-bedroom septic system, private well, underground electric, professional site work, and selective tree trimming have all been completed. A gravel driveway ascends approximately 200 feet from the road to a commanding build site, positioning your future home to capture sweeping long-range views to the west - the kind that turn golden at sunset and make mountain living feel like the reward it should be. With US National Forest land bordering the rear of the property, privacy and views are protected in perpetuity. No neighbors can build behind the property - ever. A wet weather waterfall adds the quiet soundtrack of a true mountain retreat, and at 4,200+ feet of elevation, cool summer temperatures make this a natural escape from the heat of the lowlands - just 2.5 hours from Atlanta. Best of all, no deed restrictions means you bring your own builder, your own plans, and your own timeline. Whether you envision a custom mountain home, a private family retreat, or a legacy investment in one of Western North Carolina's most sought-after communities, this lot delivers the canvas. All of this, just 10 minutes and 5.5 miles from the shops, restaurants, and culture of downtown Highlands via paved roads the entire way. Build-ready lots with views, National Forest borders, no deed restrictions, and this elevation are exceptionally rare in Highlands. This is the one you've been waiting for. ## Location - **Address:** Buck Creek Road, Highlands, NC 28741 - **County:** Macon - **Coordinates:** 35.11037012, -83.20258522 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=35.11037012,-83.20258522 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Rachel Wavra · **License:** 345181 - **Brokerage:** Silver Creek Real Estate Group - **Broker Phone:** (828) 743-1999 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/Buck-Creek-Rd_Highlands_NC_28741_M65581-35498?f=listhub&s=HCBORNC&m=1003495&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f3656155673r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f296871751r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f2701666116r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f3334732820r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f530381517r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f2195578546r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f193823327r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1817125219r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f2254595169r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f3322723069r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f352150859r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f90230524r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f2522276295r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1671448991r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1269870285r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f2590773119r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f386055354r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f2496270689r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1754441246r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f3787370183r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f500705241r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f3791615879r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f20612885r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f3673239970r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f512946000r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f699564638r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f3478126189r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f4124794002r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f287750598r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f121491642r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1221971190r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f4118080251r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 33](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1918894909r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 34](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1287933666r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 35](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1176902777r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 36](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1964634157r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 37](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1921007378r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 38](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f2660161292r.jpg) ![Buck Creek Road - Photo 39](http://lh.rdcpix.com/baae05629808448e49df3941581ef808l-f1664861583r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 1003495 | **Updated:** 2026-10-20 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Highlands Cashiers Board of Realtors.
