ENCHANTED 5.7 + ACRE RETREAT WITH A SINGING BRANCH, OLD FARM CHARM & ENDLESS POTENTIAL. Tucked off a quiet country road, this 5.7 + acre property feels like stepping into a storybook. Mature trees and lush undergrowth have grown up around a pretty, noisy rocky branch that runs right through the land, creating a true enchanted-forest feel that's hard to find. Look closer and the property's history comes into view: this was once a small rural farm site, and the evidence remains. Old chicken coops still stand, and a small leaning barn still holds tack, and one can imagine the stories it has quietly waiting for its next chapter. The lay of the land is a rare find in the mountains: nice and flat to gently sloping, with room to build, garden, keep animals, or simply wander. When the leaves drop, a seasonal view opens up to the mountains and the Valleytown area, adding a whole new dimension to the property through fall and winter. THE HOME: A residence on the property was severely damaged by fire and has been abandoned since. It was operational prior to the fire, with power, water, and septic in place, but NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE as to the current condition or function of the structure or any of its systems. The home is sold strictly as-is, and buyers should exercise caution and are advised not to enter the structure. Its history as an established homesite may offer a head start on utility access, subject to buyer's own verification with the appropriate utilities and county. ROOM FOR YOUR VISION: This property carries absolutely no restrictions. Nature has quietly reclaimed the old farmstead, hiding real potential behind a veil of green. Picture: A very private home estate, with room to spread out and a creek to sing you to sleep, A small home development, as multiple additional building sites could be created, An RV park or camping concept in a setting guests will love, A hobby farm or homestead, with coops, barn, and level ground already in place. LOCATION: Enjoy the quiet at home while staying close to everything the Nantahala area offers. Whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Nantahala River, the Nantahala Outdoor Center, hiking and fly fishing throughout the Nantahala National Forest , the Appalachian Trail are just up the road. Then, Fontana Lake and Dam, the scenic Cherohala Skyway, and the Great Smoky Mountains are all within easy reach, along with Bryson City's shops, dining, and historic train excursions. OR just 5 mins down the road is the lovely town of Andrews complete with new diners, brewerys, rail bikes and crafty shops. The steady flow of visitors to the Nantahala area also makes this an interesting setting for anyone considering a lodging or RV concept of their own. Land that combines acreage, moving water, privacy, and this much possibility doesn't come along often. The leaves may hide the story, but walking the property is the best way to see it. Bring your boots and your imagination, and schedule your showing today.
