Nestled in the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, this extraordinary 87-acre property of meadows, woodland, pasture, and river frontage offers a rare opportunity to create a legacy family retreat, a luxury equestrian estate, or a private community just minutes from charming Franklin, NC, and within easy reach of Atlanta, GA. With over 1,800 feet of protected frontage along the Little Tennessee River, this sanctuary is a paradise for conservation-minded buyers who cherish the water, serene landscapes, and crisp mountain air.
The property blends hard to find open pastures, young forests, and mature woodlands, providing endless possibilities with paved road and river frontage as well as long range mountain views. Approximately 15 acres of lush, manicured pastures are ideal for horses, farming, or expansive lawns, while another 25 acres, once pastureland, have naturally reverted to young forests, offering stunning layered mountain views. Well-established woodlands feature winding trails perfect for hiking, wildlife observation, and immersing yourself in nature’s tranquility.
A riverfront conservation easement ensures the protection of this natural treasure while allowing for recreational and agricultural activities along the river. Several streams on the property are also protected with more restrictive conservation easements and undergoing restoration, enhancing the ecological value of the land. Whether you envision a private family compound, an equestrian haven, or a sustainable community, this property provides the perfect canvas.
Don’t miss this rare chance to own a piece of Blue Ridge Mountain paradise. Your legacy begins here.
