Description: 10.5± mountaintop acres at end of Heritage Way in Heritage Mountain Estates. Heritage Way is  a private road and is paved all the way to the property, and a level grassy drive runs into the tract with a turnout about 150 yards into the tract, and another steeper drive to a higher turnout point on the property. Both feature magnificent views of the mountains around the world-famous Coweta Hydrologic Lab terminating in mile-high Albert Mountain, with the fire tower visible at the top. Tract is about 2600’ elevation at its highest point and slopes southward from the top of the east-west running ridge. In addition to the paved access into the top of the tract, there are two recorded easements into the tract from the bottom (south) end. Heritage Mountain Estates is a covenanted community with many year round residents. Heritage Mountain Estates HOA (HMEPOA) fees are $500 per year. In order to begin construction on any home or improvement, the HMEPOA requires posting of a $1,500 bond to cover the cost of any road repairs as the paved road is privately maintained by the HMEPOA.

In 2007, satisfactory perc tests were obtained from Macon County for 5 septic permits; however, the septic permits expired in 2012, and would have to be renewed based on the lot configurations surveyed in 2008.

Follow Heritage Way .8 mile up the mountain to property, which starts at the power pole. Just beyond that, the left fork is easily driveable in any vehicle and goes down a gentle grade to turnout about 150 yards in. Right fork goes up to a higher turnout about the same distance in.
