Two parcels offered together: The headliner is a cliffside building lot with a mesmerizing scenic view of the opposing mountains and the White River winding its way through the valley below.
The second parcel sits diagonally across the road and is beneficial for utility purposes. Currently it has a well with an electrical junction box to power the pump, and this feeds fresh water to many of the neighboring homes.
In a survival or conflict scenario, the Gaysville Bridge–the mountain’s only entry point–could be guarded or demolished. That would make this location naturally defensible thanks the river and steep cliffs surrounding it.
Furthermore, while conventional building methodologies focus on the surface, an industrious survivor could bore into the rocky cliff itself for the very best protection and outward visibility.
While the cliffside parcel is technically 3 acres, the actual building envelope is 0.7 acres before it reaches the cliff edge, and this opportunity is priced accordingly. Still this would be the most spectacular location to perch a house looking out over the river valley.
The utility parcel is 2.4 acres, mostly wooded except for a small pond, a short driveway, and some clearing, with a utility pole near the roadside.
Access is via a private dirt road. Plowing and maintenance costs are divided among the owners of developed lots only, not vacant ones.
