About this home

Beautiful property bordering Pisgah National Forest. This is the first time this property has been on the market and has been in this family since the early 1900's. This 8.51+- acre property is partially cleared with several acres fenced for goats. It has been used as a Tree farm and still has some trees on site. There is an underground stream that feeds a small reflection pond on one side of the property and a running stream/creek on the other side providing gravity fed irrigation and fresh water. Hike to the back of the property and find yourself in the Pisgah National Forest. This property can be used for a Tree farm, raising goats, a family compound, an RV park or a private estate. The possibilities are truly endless, with the Pisgah National Forest bordering the back of the property, privacy abounds and is secure. The property is ideal for development if desired as it is not severely sloped, mostly cleared and has 2 access points from Shoal Creek.
