The perfect homestead with EVERYTHING you have dreamed of has hit the market! Ever pictured yourself beside a crackling fire, listening to the creek run just outside, while you watch your farm animals grazing in your meadow, and beyond them, long range mountain views? Look no further! This 50-acre mountain homestead has it all: wooded privacy, mountain views, three creeks, a pond, a small pasture, and 2 huge very well maintained barns w/ electricity. The charming home has a ton of character with beautiful wood beams throughout, and offers one bedroom plus an office/bonus room, a new roof, and a wood-burning fireplace and wood stove for cozy winter evenings, with a kerosene heater as the primary heat source. The living room section is believed to be from the 1800s with chestnut logs taken right off this property! Fiber optic internet means you can work from home while living out your rural country dream. The spring water system has also been upgraded with filtration and UV treatment, and a gas/propane generator can power the entire property, including the house and barns, on the rare occasion you lose power. The 2 barns provide ample storage, a wood shop, tractor drive-in access, and many animal stalls. The wood shop has a lovely picture window overlooking the meadow and pond and was once the working shop to Frank Carachi, a well known carousel horse carver. You will find some of his original art hanging on the walls and painted on the barn's very doors. This homestead is ready to produce. You'll find raised beds steps from the house, a greenhouse, and fruit/ nut trees and bushes including peach, apple, pear, chestnut, raspberry, and blackberry around the property. There's even an old rock cellar ideal for food or wine storage right under the living room. Outdoor living space is plentiful. And if you're looking for room to grow, a cleared homesite tucked in the woods off the main drive would make a great camping spot or site for a second home. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this storied homestead in the beautiful Big Pine Valley! Please note: a shared easement road runs through the property, serving two homes farther up the mountain. An all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle is required year-round for the driveway. 25 min to Marshall. 50 min to Asheville. NO DRIVE BYS, APPOINTMENT REQUIRED.
