Owned by the same family since 1962, this enchanting mountain property boasts acres upon acres of untouched beauty. Nestled in the woods, the Alley homestead was Betty Alley's playground, where she reveled in nature, mountain vistas, and refreshing breezes. Family visits were filled with exploration, following Aunt Betty's trails, collecting rocks and pine cones, and watching wild turkeys roam through fern forests. Though time has taken its toll on the old home and small cabin, the land remains vibrant, with tall trees, abundant rhododendrons, and lush fern forests inviting hikes and discovery. A gentle stream provides a water source for deer and other wildlife, enhancing the property's natural charm. Bordered by the National Forest, this 38.78-acre parcel is ideal for another family homestead or potential development. Facing Whiteside Mountain, the old home once offered stunning mountain views, as remembered by the remaining family members. Experience the beauty of this land in the attached drone videos.
