HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU?

With all of the uncertainty in the world today, wouldn’t it be nice to be tucked away at the end of a private road in the heart of the Smoky Mountains?

Privacy without isolation. A setting that’s safe and secure. A one of a kind property that’s been carefully planned for sustainable, small-scale agriculture with box-wire fenced pastures, solar electric fencing and purpose-built structures including a sheep barn with milking stanchions, a brooder with dedicated poultry enclosures, separate guinea and chicken coops and more.

But the infrastructure is only half the story.

Imagine private hiking trails winding across the property alongside two streams, three springs, and a noisy waterfall with a landscaped garden that produces flowers, vegetables, and herbs throughout the year. Pear trees, grapevines, asparagus beds, and blueberry bushes provide a perennial harvest year after year. Or forage on your land for mountain medicinal remedies and alternate food sources.

The home has been designed for easy living when the chores are done and features true off-grid capability. With two fully independent apartments having separate entrances, your fortress would be ideal for multi-generational living, a source of rental income, or guest quarters for those near and dear to you..

The upper level has two bedrooms, two baths, an office, and an open-concept great room combining kitchen, dining, and living areas with large windows framing mountain views and offering an ideal vantage point to view your property and access road. Recent upgrades to the home include new stainless-steel appliances, updated plumbing, modern lighting, and a NEW ROOF. The gravity-fed spring and propane hot water system provide modern convenience, and a wood stove brings warmth and atmosphere when the weather turns cold.

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

Outside, two large decks overlook the landscape, garden and pasture below. A private firing range offers you the ability to keep your skills sharp and your aim true. All this and still only one hour from Asheville and 45 minutes from Waynesville and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

If ever there was a time, the time is now. If ever there was a place, this is it.
