Experience the romance of the Italian countryside without leaving Western North Carolina. Inspired by the timeless charm of Tuscany, this extraordinary 105-acre working farm blends refined Mediterranean architecture with productive agricultural infrastructure, creating a property that is as beautiful as it is functional. Approached through rolling pastures framed by mountain views, the estate unfolds across gently rolling acreage thoughtfully designed for livestock operations and luxurious country living. Rotational grazing pastures are equipped with automatic water feeders, while a cattle chute, multiple fenced grazing areas, two wells, well house and extensive farm infrastructure support the property's continued agricultural use. Two fully stocked ponds provide exceptional recreation and natural beauty, featuring bass, bluegill, catfish and minnows. A thriving two-acre vineyard further enhances the estate's Tuscan character and offers opportunity to continue a boutique vineyard operation or simply enjoy the beauty it brings to the landscape. At the heart of the property sits a beautifully renovated Mediterranean-style residence encompassing approximately 4,143 square feet. Extensively updated and thoughtfully expanded, the home seamlessly combines classic craftsmanship with modern conveniences. Rich hickory hardwood flooring flows throughout the main living spaces, while solid wood doors and custom finishes add warmth and authenticity. The chef's kitchen was completely reimagined with custom cherry cabinetry, quartz countertops, double ovens, microwave, dishwasher, gas range with pot filler, oversized pantry and an inviting coffee bar complete with wine cooler. Designed for everyday living and entertainment, the adjoining great room addition creates an expansive gathering space filled with natural light and views of the surrounding countryside.

With three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, the home offers comfortable accommodations for family and guests while maintaining an intimate connection to the surrounding landscape. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A newly constructed heated saltwater pool provides a resort-style setting for relaxation and entertaining, while extensive landscaping creates a vibrant tapestry of seasonal color.

A rare and remarkable piece of land where opportunity meets natural beauty. This former golf course offers a truly unique setting, thoughtfully preserved with protections that prevent subdivision and ensure lasting privacy, open space, and freedom from future development or encroachment. Unlike most raw land tracts in our region, this property is already largely cleared, saving you significant time and expense. No need for costly tree removal or months of site prep since the groundwork has already been done. The open landscape also means breathtaking views from nearly every corner of the property, with rolling terrain and wide-open sightlines that would otherwise take years to create. For those with agricultural dreams, this land is ready when you are. With cleared acreage and soil that hasn’t been treated with chemicals since before 2019, you can begin farming, planting, or grazing immediately. Whether you envision crops, livestock, a sustainable homestead, or a glamping retreat, much of the infrastructure is already in place to support your plans. The property is well-equipped with two large barns, a spacious chicken coop, and an existing irrigation system that once served the course. Multiple water sources, including a pond and 2 pump houses, provide reliable access for agricultural uses. This is more than just land—it’s a turnkey opportunity for farming, recreation, event center or creating a private estate with unmatched openness and usability. Properties like this, with both scale and readiness, rarely come available.
