34.160 Acres of heirloom farmland. The property has been in one family for 100's of years. It was a working farm for 70 years. Gorgeous views of Roan Mountain, fields of overgrown pastureland. Lovely creek as a boundary line. The land backs up to Pisgah National Forest. Survey done in 2023, state road frontage. Land like this does not come up for sale often. There were three homes on the property. The old brick home is in very poor shape, no value. But has a well and septic. There were two mobile homes on the property that have been removed. One shared the well with the main house. The third homesite has a private driveway, and we are verifying septic and water source. Multiple power poles, but the power is not connected. The creek crosses the road and is the lower boundary line. This is a rare find! The owner is scheduling some mowing so that it will be easier to hike.
