    What's special

    Perched atop Cherry Mountain and spanning 11.8 breathtaking acres, this one-of-a-kind property offers the ultimate homesteader’s dream. With sweeping mountain views, a year-round creek at the base, and thoughtfully developed land, this self-sustaining haven is ready to support a truly independent lifestyle. Over the past several years, the current owners have carefully cultivated and improved the property to maximize its productivity and functionality. Designed with both homesteaders and preppers in mind, the land features multiple fenced enclosures and paddocks ideal for rotational grazing, along with an impressive array of outbuildings to support livestock and storage needs. Structures include a 12x24 workshop, 16x12 general-purpose building, 16x12 goat house, 20x12 sheep barn, 16x12 hay storage, as well as additional chicken coops and utility buildings. The expansive garden area boasts eleven 8-foot raised beds, perfect for growing your own food year-round. Established fruit-bearing trees—including apple, pear, peach, plum, fig, and pomegranate—complement thriving grape and muscadine vines, along with abundant blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry patches. The home itself has been thoughtfully updated, featuring a brand-new roof and several recent improvements, making it move-in ready for its next owners. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a working homestead, or a self-reliant lifestyle, this extraordinary property offers unmatched potential and natural beauty in a truly serene mountain setting.
