Homesteading? Green Living? Vacation Rental? Country Living? Prepping? Sustainable Living? This 70 acre property CHECKS ALL the boxes! These 70 acres are gently laying and rolling, meaning you can utilize nearly 100%. No steep cliff hangers here. First, you have approximately 12 acres of beautiful rolling pasture ideal for gardening, crops, horses, livestock or even building. Then the bulk of the rest of the wooded acreage is easily accessible and buildable featuring several nearly flat knolls on which one could build. Then you have not one but TWO creeks on this property. The larger one is several feet wide and forms one boundary line, although the property itself comprises both sides at one point. But inside the woods you'll find a spring that forms the headwaters of another year round stream! The beauty here is that the watershed for this stream is all within the property because it forms a bowl from ridgetop to ridgetop. This stream feeds a small pond full of fish. The acreage is bathed in sunlight, making this ideal for solar power collection. The property has two points of access on a paved state maintained road, meaning you don't have to share a driveway with others, although Hurd Road is a private deeded right-of-way. Having multiple access points makes this an ideal property for development or subdividing. Worley Cove Road is a dead end road, so there is no through traffic. Plus, it is only 4 minutes from I-40 meaning it is just 20 minutes to downtown Asheville or Waynesville and all they offer. The house has been totally updated on the interior with new floors, A/C, kitchen, appliances, paint, plumbing fixtures, lighting, etc. Crawl space has a Dry Basement Encapsulation system. Though the septic permit is for just two bedrooms, this house lives as a three bedroom because there is another room upstairs off the loft with a closet. With this much acreage, you think you could add a drain line for a third bedroom??? House is sold fully furnished, and makes and ideal vacation rental. This is one of the most well rounded offerings ideal for those looking for privacy yet convenience; homesteading yet modern; agriculture or development. Perfectly suited for a short term rental. No HOA or deed restrictions. Only qualified buyers with proof of funds PRIOR to showing. Minimum 24 hours notice and LA will attend showings to ensure the entire property is experienced.
