For nearly fifty years, this working farm has been a hidden masterpiece of the Blue Ridge Mountains, reached by a mile-long gravel drive that winds through open pasture, alongside creeks, and beneath towering hardwoods before finally opening to the home. And what a home it is. Custom-built in 1978, the home blends timeless architecture with a level of craftsmanship and character that’s difficult to replicate today. Nearly 2,500 square feet of living space, filled with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, natural stone, and remarkable natural light, gives the home a warmth that balances perfectly with its scale and craftsmanship. At the heart of the home is an enormous double-sided fireplace built from hand-selected local stone, anchoring two separate living areas. The layout was thoughtfully designed, with the primary suite positioned on the main level and two additional bedrooms with a full bath upstairs. Large windows throughout the home frame views of the surrounding farm and mountains in nearly every direction, while newer Pella windows along the northern side of the main level bring even more light into the living spaces. Solid-surface countertops, wide-plank hardwood floors, architectural shingles, a partial basement, an attached two-car garage, and a large rear deck complete the home beautifully. Outside, the estate unfolds across 139 acres of some of Western North Carolina’s most desirable landscape. Approximately 20 acres are established pastureland with partial fencing already in place, while the remainder of the property stretches through mature timber, trails, and multiple creeks flowing through the farm. Several potential building sites throughout the property offer exceptional long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the potential for a family compound, event venue or investment. The farm remains highly functional as well, with a storage and implement barn, large metal garage/storage building, and tractor and hay equipment conveying with the sale. Certain furnishings inside the home will remain too. Properties like this are becoming increasingly rare — not simply because of the acreage, but because of the complete package. A truly custom home with architectural character. Privacy without isolation. Usable land. Water. Views. History. And a setting that feels every bit as special as the home itself. This is the kind of property families hold onto for generations.

Incredible opportunity for investors, builders, or developers! This property offers a rare chance to reimagine a unique piece of land with existing infrastructure and multiple possibilities for redevelopment. Three separate structures are present on the property: a 1900s site-built home, a singlewide, and a gutted doublewide. All have been lived in at various points, suggesting the presence of utility connections; however, they are being sold strictly as-is, at no assigned value, and entry is strongly discouraged unless at your own risk. With just two owners throughout its history, this property provides a clean slate with great potential for creative vision and long-term return. This is a unique chance to secure land with existing improvements already in place, ideal for your next build, redevelopment project, or investment portfolio.
