Timber was logged over 20 years ago, offering potential present and future timber value.

You can feel away from it all while still being connected to everything that makes Western North Carolina so desirable. Properties with this combination of unrestricted acreage, pasture, water features, barn, buildable land, existing home, mountain setting, and convenient location are increasingly hard to find.
