Step Back in Time: A Once-in-a-Lifetime 1870 Heritage Farmstead on 42.5 Pristine Acres
Rarely does a property with this level of soul, history, and raw mountain beauty become available. For 156 years, this incredible 1870s historic farmhouse has stood watch over a sweeping, private mountain cove, offering the ultimate canvas for a dream mountain farm life. Occupied for over a century and a half until just recently, this structurally sound homestead is ready for a thoughtful renovation to bring it into its next great chapter.
This acreage is nothing short of spectacular!
A bold creek flows through undulating open fields that stretch across the valley floor, primed for massive gardens, crops or livestock. Mine Creek Road forms the western boundary along the front of the property. Upslope, behind the home, an old, private farm road leads past historic barns dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Continuing on through gently rolling hills and small secluded coves populated with towering mature trees you wind upward through open woodland where the evidence of abundant wildlife is always visible. Upon reaching the top of the ridgeline you are rewarded with gentle terrain providing great potential for long-range views. Ideal for additional, completely secluded homesites."
Inside, the home is a time capsule of country living, complete with a classic wood-burning cookstove and vintage charm waiting to be polished. Having sustained absolutely no storm damage, this solid piece of Western North Carolina history is a blank slate for historical preservationists, homesteaders, or anyone seeking a remote, utterly private mountain sanctuary. Bring your vision, step back in time, and restore a true Appalachian legacy. Home does need work as it is 156 years old.
