Turn-Key Farmstead. Ready to Work.

Tucked at the end of a private road and bordering protected conservation land, this rare offering sits in the heart of the Smoky Mountains — just minutes from the balds of Max Patch and access to the Appalachian Trail.

Privacy without isolation. Wilderness without sacrifice. A setting that feels both timeless and intentional.

Currently home to East Friesian dairy sheep, along with chickens, guineas, and geese, this one of a kind property has been thoughtfully engineered for sustainable, small-scale agriculture. Box-wire fenced pastures reinforced with solar electric fencing provide secure grazing. Purpose-built outbuildings include:

  • A sheep barn with milking stanchions

  • Brooder and dedicated poultry enclosures

  • Separate guinea and chicken pens

  • Three additional utility sheds

Everything is in place to support daily farm operations efficiently from day one. But the infrastructure is only half the story.

Private hiking trails wind across the property alongside two flowing streams, three natural springs, and a lively waterfall that fills the air with sound and life. Above it all, a beautifully landscaped garden produces flowers, vegetables, and culinary herbs throughout the seasons. Mature pear trees, grapevines, established asparagus beds, and blueberry bushes provide a perennial harvest year after year.

And then there’s the home — because self-sufficiency shouldn’t mean sacrificing comfort.

Designed for luxury living, with off-grid capability, the residence functions as two fully independent apartments with separate entrances, ideal for multi-generational living, rental income, or guest quarters.

The upper level offers two bedrooms, two baths, an office, and an open-concept great room combining kitchen, dining, and living areas. Large windows frame private mountain views, while hardwood, tile, and laminate flooring run throughout. Recent upgrades include stainless-steel appliances, updated plumbing, modern lighting, and a new roof. A gravity-fed spring and propane hot water system provide modern convenience, and a wood stove brings warmth and atmosphere on winter evenings.

The lower level features a comfortable one-bedroom apartment with a tiled great room, home gym, and large laundry area with generous storage. Mini-split systems ensure year-round climate control, complemented by another wood stove for added warmth and charm.

Outside, a spacious deck overlooks the manicured landscape and wildlife below. A private firing range adds a recreational element, and open viewing areas invite stargazing and quiet reflection. All this and you’re only one hour from Asheville and 45 minutes from Waynesville and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Properties in this historic mountain region are tightly held and rarely offered — especially those with the infrastructure, water sources, views and natural abundance to support true self-reliance.

Grow your own food. Raise your own livestock. Watch the seasons change from your own front porch instead of someone else’s Instagram feed.
