Located just off Cabin Creek Road on an established right-of-way, this LARGE property is mostly wooded and offers a high, nearly flat ridge and plenty of homesite possibilities. Because elevations range up to 2,300′ – you can enjoy a true 4-season climate, including spectacular spring and fall foliage. This area usually has a few good snows a year and moderate temperatures during the summer months. Some people think you have to live at 4,000’+ elevations to enjoy mountain life – but that’s not the case! The higher the elevations the more severe the weather – including bitterly cold winters and heavy snowfalls. This Wilkes County land near Stone Mountain State Park is a great choice for anyone wanting to enjoy the remote beauty of the mountains – without feeling completely isolated.

 

Enjoy spending time outside? Then you’re in luck! This property is less than 25 minutes from Stone Mountain Golf Club and Stone Mountain State Park! It’s the perfect playground for any outdoor enthusiast. Whether you enjoy hiking, camping, climbing or a leisurely game of golf, you’re just minutes away from your next adventure. If you’re an avid hunter you’ll be pleased to know that this area of Wilkes County boasts abundant wildlife – including deer, turkey and the occasional black bear.

​

Now that we’ve described the area and the land itself – let’s dig into the history of this amazing property! Although no value has been assigned to it, you’ll find a historic 1800’s cabin on this property that was the childhood home of General Joseph Eggleston Johnston. Born in February, 1807, General Johnston attended the United States Military academy (West Point), and was a career U.S. Army officer who served with distinction in the Mexican-American War from 1846-1848, as well as the Seminole Wars. After Virginia seceded from the Union, General Johnston entered the Confederate States army as one of the most senior general officers, fighting in numerous battles against the Union. But how does he play into the history of this property?

​

As a child of 4, in 1811, his family moved into their newly constructed two-story log home in the Abingdon, VA area. More recently the home was completely disassembled, and reassembled with major improvements on this 223 acre listed property. In pricing this parcel for sale, no value has been placed on the current log structure, although its historical value is priceless. The possibilities for this structure are many. You simply must see for yourself! Read: Joseph E. Johnston: A Civil War Biography by Craig L. Symonds.
