About this home

Rare 71+ acre farm in the Little River Valley on Cascade Lake Road. Once a working dairy, the land is now largely open cornfields with long range mountain views toward Pisgah National Forest. Several barns and outbuildings offer real potential to bring the farm back into working use. Elevated wooded home sites above the farmhouse capture the same sweeping views, ideal for an estate compound or additional building opportunities. Charming stone and cedar-shake farmhouse full of character, ideal as a manager's residence, temporary living quarters, or guest lodge while building your dream estate higher on the ridge. Cascade Lake Road turns to gravel beyond the property and connects directly into DuPont State Recreational Forest and Staton Road trailheads, with Brevard's downtown and trails just minutes away. House is not located in a flood plain. A rare opportunity for privacy, acreage, water frontage, and access to the outdoors. Tax records show a second habitable structure...That is currently not usable. some of the old barns have fallen into disrepair but others are in good shape. The existing drive serves as a ROW to two parcels beyond.
