    What's special

    Wrap around deckLarge screened-in porchGrape and muscadine vinesWood burning stove
    A turn-key homestead/ prepper paradise! This beautiful 11.8 acre property sits off of private roads on top of Cherry Mountain with incredible views of South Mountain state park along with beautiful rock formations on the property. Enjoy the views with a large screened-in porch and wrap around deck! The 11.8 acres contain two plots of land. The one that the homestead sits on is 6.72 acres and the other plot is 5.08 acres. Every room has been remodeled since 2014. There is an AC/ heat pump along with 2 mini-splits but the wood burning stove can be used as the primary heat source. Along with the well, there is 900+ gallon rain water collection capacity, another water source (spring?) located on the property, and a year round creek at the base of the acreage. There are 2 solar systems that are not tied to the grid that can be used year round or activated if/when there is power disruptions with the utility company. There is a HAM radio antenna for a quick HAM radio shack setup for communications. There are several buildings on the property: 12x24 workshop, 16x12 general purpose, 16x12 goat building, 20x12 sheep building, 16x12 hay building, plus many others including chicken coops and storage. There are several fenced in enclosures and paddocks for rotational grazing. There is a large garden that contain eleven 8 ft raised beds. There are several fruit bearing trees on the property: apple, pear, peach, plum, fig, pomegranate, etc. along with grape and muscadine vines and blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry patches.
    What the owner loves about this home
    We love the cozy heat from the wood burning stove and the 2 plus years of seasoned cut wood from our oak forest!
