Mountain Views with Creek Minutes to Bakersville

Amature geologist and rock hound dream of a private mica mine! This 15-acre tract sits near the point where two state roads meet. The sloping and, at times, steep topography rises to the top of knoll roughly 3200' in elevation that provides wide angle mountain views to the south through the Cane Creek valley. Hawk Creek flows along the western boundary briefly and offers the relaxing sound of water. The property is all wooded with mixed upland hardwoods and even includes the site of an old mica mine (probably the Hawk Mica Mine) that likely operated at times from the 1870s - 1950s. The mine is mostly an open cut but there is one large verticle shaft near the end of the cut that is hazardous. USE EXTREME CAUTION around the old mine. This land offers options for building a home, hiking, hunting, ATVs, and camping, just minutes from Bakersville, NC.
