What's special
They aren't making any more land like this! Incredible opportunity for a developer, or a "gentleman's" cattle ranch. 28 gorgeous, rolling acres of pasture land in the heart of Franklin, NC just 2 miles from city limits. Super-gentle paved state-maintained access, with additional easement to upper property. Idyllic setting with serene mountain views. A 1940's vintage farmhouse is included and could be updated for living as you build, guest quarters, rental income, or a sales building for your subdivision. 2 wells installed (1 drilled), 2 septic systems, spring, power already to the property. Two spots are in place for watering cattle, including a heated watering trough, plus the fencing is already there for you! You'll appreciate the nostalgia when you see the old tobacco barn, corn crib, cattle barn & canning room. The highly-desirable Holly Springs location provides fast access to town or to Highlands, Sylva, Clayton, and Asheville areas. Being just outside of the city limits/ETJ area means there are no restrictions - ideal for a large single-family home development, mobile home park, tiny home subdivision, a farmer's dream homestead... wherever your imagination leads!
