Property Details:
The area was impacted by the 2018 Spring Fire, which opened up the landscape and created wider mountain views, more sunlight, and easier visibility across the terrain. Today, young pine trees are naturally growing back throughout the property while the open scenery creates a more spacious feel compared to dense forest parcels nearby.
This type of property is actually easier to enjoy right away:
– Less thick tree coverage to walk through
– Easier to explore and choose a campsite
– More visible mountain scenery
– Less clearing needed for future plans
Power is available approximately 270 feet away, and the property is accessed through maintained dirt roads inside Forbes Park.
It’s a combination of open mountain views, natural regrowth, and easier usability creates a very different feel from many traditional wooded parcels in Forbes Park.
There are also neighboring homes nearby, so while the property still feels peaceful and private, you are not completely isolated. It creates a balance where you can still have nearby neighbors to ask for help, share friendly conversations, or even enjoy occasional dinners together while still enjoying the quiet mountain atmosphere.
