Description

Total privacy, breathtaking long-range ridgetop views, dramatic waterfalls, and tranquil streams set this 96+ acre mountain retreat apart as a perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. With a main house, guest cottage, garage apartment, and rustic antique log cabin, each prominently situated along the ridge at an elevation of over 3,000 feet, this property is the ideal multi-generational family legacy property. DuPont State Forest is close by, with a trailhead less than 2.5 miles away, and the property is bounded by a large, private conservation easement on the eastern side. Over 2 miles of professionally built trails, both UTV and foot trails, link the homes on the ridge, an open meadow area and the property’s bold streams with the natural beauty of the forests and falls. With its mature hardwood forest, the land is bounded on the north by bold, clear Williamson Creek and on the south by over 2,000 feet of beautiful Laurel Creek, which features three waterfalls. The stunning, private trio of falls are dramatic destinations for sightseeing, picnics, photography or tranquil reflection. The main house is designed for comfort and luxury, with hardwood floors, hand hewn beam accents, a free-standing wood stove, and expansive windows showcasing the amazing views. The guest cottage, with its equally terrific views and a rambling, comfortable floorplan, is ready for your creative updates. Additionally, the garage apartment, recently upgraded with wood floors and a new HVAC system, provides an excellent opportunity for guest accommodation or a creative workspace. The rustic cabin, set at the farthest end of the ridge and constructed with antique logs, adds a touch of history and authenticity to the property, making it an ideal spot for quiet contemplation or a cozy retreat. The property's location, situated between Brevard and Cedar Mountain, ensures easy access to amenities while preserving the tranquility and seclusion of your mountaintop escape. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, a family compound, a truly dramatic outdoor recreation area or a place to pursue creative endeavors, this estate offers a wide range of possibilities.
