About this home

40+/- acres of forest and farmland for sale in Haywood County, NC within view of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 20+/- acres of fenced-in pasture with multiple water sources. Currently being used to graze cattle and perfectly suited for horses and/or other livestock. There are several antique Appalachian farm structures and three generations of antique farm homes on property that could potentially be repurposed or salvaged for materials. 20+/- acres of forested hills that can be expanded into more pasture or left wooded to provide privacy for secluded Smoky Mountain retreat/s. Located less than 5 miles to the Cataloochee Valley entrance of the National park and the Cataloochee Divide Trailhead which connects to 900+ miles of trails in the National Park. 175+/- feet of creek and road frontage on Cove Creek — the wildly popular entrance road to Cataloochee Valley — makes this location ideal for agritourism endeavors, campground facilities, cabin rentals or an adventure-based development. Acreage and shape of property, stretching deep into Jenkins Cove, also lends itself to conservation-minded buyers looking for an idyllic landscape to build a private mountain escape, equestrian estate or family homestead. Located only 15 minutes from Waynesville and Canton and 35 minutes to downtown Asheville and the newly renovated AVL airport. This property is a Great Smoky Mountain legacy that is waiting for you to start the next chapter in its storied history.
