The tract is located at the intersection of Red Top Road (SR 1148) and Rest Home/Marley Ford Road (SR 1150) on the north side of the western end of the W. Kerr Scott Reservoir. It is further identified as Wilkes Co. Tax Parcel 0900385 and the legal description is found in Wilkes County Deed Book 96 at page 154. A 1990 survey of the tract is available.
The topography is flat to rolling as you approach the Yadkin River and its tributary. The Corps controls all land surrounding the reservoir to the 1,080-foot contour level and restricts land-disturbing activities within this strip of land as you approach the water. The property is not currently zoned for dock access to the reservoir; however, that designation is subject to review by the Corps. Additional information regarding lake access is available at saw usace army mil/wkscott/index htm saw usace army mil/wkscott/index htm.
