Blue Ridge Parkway Project
The Little Switzerland II property consists of 12.14 acres in Mitchell County adjoining the Blue Ridge Parkway for approximately 1500 feet at a curve in the road. The surrounding properties are entirely wooded. The preservation of this property is important because of its border with the Blue Ridge Parkway, spectacular views of Mount Mitchell, and proximity to other protected properties in the area. The property had attracted interest from a number of developers, so it was critical to move quickly to conserve this forested parcel. The property is located approximately two miles from the Little Switzerland post office at milepost 332 and 333 of the Parkway.
The Conservation Trust plans to donate the property to the National Park Service for inclusion in the Parkway’s boundary.
