Mountain Retreat North of Asheville

115 acres with 5 acres open mowed land. Elevation ranges from 3000 to 3840 ft. Good views in all directions with several building sights opening to the S and W.

Located at 35.90N, -82.50W about 25 miles North of Asheville via I-26 and 7 mi NNW of Mars Hill NC. About 5 mi south of the point where Hy 23 and I-26 enter Tenn at an elevation of 3800 ft. The Wolf Laurel golf and ski resort is 5 mi away.

Adjacent properties are mostly large wooded tracts of 125, 60, 20, and 30 acres. Only one of these large lots is lived on. There is a 1 acre lot with occupied home at the entrance of the property. Several adjacent properties will likely come up for sale in the next 10 years. There are numerous underground springs on the property and two year round streams that converge in the bottom third of the land. There is a 1/5 acre pond with approx 150 fish of 4 species. The pond is man made, 6 years old, average depth 8 ft, self sustaining, and entirely spring fed from within the property boundaries. There are 2 modern buildings on the property. A 20x40 metal building on a steel reinforced concrete pad with 12x12 overhead door and a 12x12 wooden tool building. There is no electricity to either building but electricity is available in the front 5 acres near a paved state road. There is a good spring capped with modern methods into a 500 gallon reservoir piped to a single tap above the pond with about 35 psi of pressure.

At this time I am only interested in selling the property "lock, stock, and barrel" which would include all the equipment that stays on the property. The significant pieces of equipment included in the purchase price are a 1998 JCB 214 4WD rubber tire backhoe with 880 hours, a 1997 Chevrolet K1500 4WD pickup with 45,000 mi, a 2008 Kubota L3400 4WD tractor and 60 inch mowing deck with 120 hours. All vehicles are garaged full time and maintained per factory specs.
