DREAM HOMESTEAD FOR SALE! - Have you been searching for the perfect mini-farm with mountain views, a like-new home, and over an acre to call your own? Look no further! Everything a homesteader could dream of is already in place — a huge fenced pasture, multiple raised garden beds, and an established orchard of grapevines, peach and apple trees, blueberries, and fig trees. The land has been actively worked, previously home to sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, geese, ducks, and more. A built-in chicken coop tucked under the porch, a rabbit hutch on the property, and a separate fenced side yard perfect for a dog run mean your animals are already accounted for. Open-use zoning adds exceptional flexibility, giving you the freedom to continue the farming tradition or make the land entirely your own.

Four dedicated parking spots and an adorable new playhouse round out this property's long list of thoughtful touches.

Tucked into a peaceful rural valley with sweeping mountain views, this one-of-a-kind equestrian property on Dix Creek has been a cherished home for horses, chickens, dogs, cats, and the people who love them for over 30 years. The 4-stall barn is well-appointed with a tack room and hay loft, while a riding ring with new fencing gives you a dedicated space to ride and train — all set against a gorgeous mountain backdrop. The land is gently sloping and usable, offering the kind of valley acreage that's increasingly hard to find in Western NC. The cabin radiates the kind of warmth that can't be manufactured — original wood floors, solid wood paneling, and exposed beams give it an authentic 1970s character that feels grounded and inviting. Step out onto the covered back porch and deck and you're rewarded with sweeping mountain views and a symphony of birdsong — the kind of morning that makes you forget there's anywhere else to be. The main floor features a wheelchair-accessible bedroom and full bath with exterior ramp, making it both charming and practical. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two updated bathrooms offer plenty of space for family and guests. The full unfinished basement provides generous storage today and real potential for a finished rec room, workshop, or entertainment space down the road. Properties like this — with the acreage, infrastructure, and setting to support a true homestead lifestyle — rarely come to market.
