About this home
11+/- ACRE TURN-KEY FARMSTEAD. READY TO WORK! Live the life most people only scroll about. Tucked at the end of a private road and bordering protected conservation land in the Great Smoky Mountains, this rare offering sits just minutes from Max Patch and the Appalachian Trail.
Privacy without isolation. Wilderness without compromise.
Currently home to East Friesian dairy sheep, chickens, guineas, and geese, this thoughtfully engineered property is built for sustainable, small-scale agriculture. Box-wire fenced pastures reinforced with solar electric provide secure grazing. Purpose-built infrastructure includes a sheep barn with milking stanchions, brooder and poultry enclosures, separate guinea and chicken pens, and three additional utility sheds.
Everything is in place to operate from day one.
Private trails wind through the land alongside two flowing streams, three natural springs, and a lively waterfall. Established gardens produce flowers, vegetables, and culinary herbs. Mature pear trees, grapevines, asparagus beds, and blueberry bushes deliver dependable harvests year after year.
The home proves self-sufficiency and comfort can coexist. Designed with off-grid capability, it functions as two fully independent apartments with separate entrances—ideal for multi-generational living, rental income, or guest quarters.
Upstairs offers two bedrooms, two baths, an office, and an open great room combining kitchen, dining, and living areas. Large windows frame mountain views. Hardwood, tile, and laminate flooring run throughout. Recent upgrades include stainless appliances, updated plumbing, modern lighting, and a new roof. A gravity-fed spring, propane hot water, mini-splits, and a wood stove provide year-round comfort and resilience.
The lower level features a one-bedroom apartment with tiled great room, flexible bonus space currently used as a gym, and a spacious laundry area with abundant storage. An additional wood stove adds warmth and charm.
Outside, a large deck overlooks manicured grounds and roaming wildlife. A private firing range adds a rare recreational feature. Open sky views invite stargazing and quiet reflection. All this just one hour to Asheville and 45 minutes to Waynesville and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Properties in this historic region are tightly held—especially those with established water sources, infrastructure, and usable acreage to support true self-reliance.
Stop talking about “someday.”
If you’ve been wanting land, livestock, a garden, and a slower pace, this is it. The systems are built. The water flows. There is no question about it, this farm works.
The only question left is whether or not you’re ready to live your dream.
