Eighty seven acres and over 1,800 feet of river frontage. Long range mountain views that change with every season. Land like this, forest and meadow, protected, and still full of possibility, rarely comes up for sale in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is the kind of property that gets bought once and held for generations. This is land built for a legacy retreat, an equestrian estate, or a small conservation minded community, with paved road access and just minutes to downtown Franklin. Asheville and Atlanta are both an easy drive, close enough for regular trips, far enough that this still feels like a retreat. It's the rare tract with room to build a lasting homeplace, with space to expand over time. Fifteen acres of open, manicured pasture roll out below the tree line, ready for horses, hay, or development with a view in every direction. Another twenty five acres of former pastureland have grown into young forest, layered with color and texture, while established woodlands climb the ridges with trails already cut through them for hiking and wildlife watching. The Little Tennessee River runs along the edge of the property, protected by a conservation easement that still allows grazing, crops, hiking trails, a canoe or kayak launch, and even a covered picnic gazebo, so the working, recreational character of the land stays fully intact for whoever owns it next. A separate state backed easement protects several streams on the property, where active restoration work is already underway, adding lasting ecological value at no cost to the owner. Few properties offer this much frontage, this much usable ground, and this level of protection all in one place. It's a rare foundation for whatever comes next, whether that's a homeplace, a working farm, or land held simply for the sake of holding it.
