Chimney Rock Park offers the chance to do what few people can, buy your own private 1,000 acre park. This park has been in the Morse family since 1902 and is located 25 miles southeast of Asheville, North Carolina. The park includes the 535-million-year-old Chimney Rock which offers views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a 404-foot waterfall, hiking trails and lots of natural wildlife. Chimney Rock also includes an elevator that was built inside the mountain. The park has been the backdrop for movies such as Last of the Mohicans. At $55 million, Chimney Rock Park is believed to be the highest private property listing ever in the history of the state.

That is almost a steal! Put a house on each acre, sell each house for an average of a mil, and you would be rolling in it!

no thanks...it isn't farm country so I couldn't do anything with this place other than look at it.

I own 100 acres of Maine woods and that's enough.

Wow what a beautiful place. I thought the US forests were all just full of those big redwood trees.

??? Sounds like you need to visit. I don't know of many lands that offer such diversity. SE is very different from the SW as is the NW and NE.
