About this home

The privacy, peace, and freedom you've been searching for is here. Escape the crowds and discover the joys of country living on 16 1/2 unrestricted acres in highly sought-after Polk County. With 2+ acres cleared and 14 acres of woods, this unique homestead is teeming with wildlife. The home features 2 bedrooms, a spacious loft/bonus room, and 2 full bathrooms. It has multiple heat sources, including a heat pump, a gas log fireplace, and a wood-burning stove. You can hunt, hike, mountain-bike, or ride four-wheelers along your own trails, or listen to the gentle creek that meanders through the property. The property is well-equipped for homesteading, featuring a large barn (full of useful lumber for your future projects), a 10x12 storage shed with electricity, a corn crib/tool barn, a 24'x31' (744 SF) workshop with electric and water, and a 30-amp electrical hookup for your RV. Rich in history, the hand-hewn log cabin was once part of an original family homestead. Family and local historical accounts suggest that the cabin dates back to the 18th century and is the oldest structure in Polk County still in its original location. This place is special, and you'll feel it the moment you step foot on the property. Conveniently located ten minutes from Lake Lure, 20 minutes from the Tryon Equestrian Center, 35 minutes from Hendersonville, and 1 hour from Asheville. Property is at the end of a private dead-end dirt road, so out of respect for neighbors, please, no drive-bys. Showings by appointment only. Agent is owner, and owners are motivated!
