About this home

Tucked into the hills just 4 minutes from Max Patch, this 59-acre property is the kind of blank canvas that doesn't come around often. Sweeping long-range mountain views stretch across the property, and a workable field offers real potential for farming, pasture, or homesteading. An existing structure is being sold as-is and offers an opportunity to renovate or rebuild to suit your vision. With this much acreage and this much elevation, the possibilities here — recreational, agricultural, or a private mountain retreat — are wide open. Minutes from one of Western North Carolina's most beloved hikes, this is a rare chance to own a true mountain landscape.
