A rare opportunity to steward a multigenerational Western North Carolina farm encompassing approximately 183.73 acres in Buncombe County. Held within the same family for more than a century, this remarkable legacy property reflects deep agricultural roots, abundant natural resources and a history of careful land stewardship, offering a unique combination of privacy, scale and authenticity. The landscape is diverse and functional, featuring open pasture, gently rolling terrain and expansive wooded acreage, all connected by an established network of internal roads and trails. Water is a defining and exceptional feature of the property, including a private lake/pond, a natural branch flowing behind the farmhouse and multiple springs and waterways originating from the mountain. The owner has made thoughtful enhancements over time, including construction of a state-inspected bridge and the creation of small waterfalls designed to support and enhance the natural fish habitat, contributing to the beauty and ecological vitality of the land. The farm has a long-standing organic, no-chemical history, making it particularly well-suited for sustainable or regenerative agricultural practices. Improvements include a circa 1949 farmhouse, a barn with a concrete foundation and multiple cabins and outbuildings, including one recently completed post-flood by Amish craftsmen, providing a functional base for continued agricultural use, equestrian pursuits, or the creation of a private mountain estate. Rich in heritage, the property includes two documented 1800s homestead sites and a legacy of supplying agricultural goods to the first Ingles store in Asheville. These elements underscore the property’s longstanding role within the region’s agricultural history. The property is enrolled in an agricultural and forestry deferred tax program established in 2019, offering favorable tax treatment for qualified use. This is a distinctive offering for buyers who value land stewardship, historical continuity and the opportunity to carry forward a generational farm. Seller prefers a single-tract conveyance. Post-closing possession may be requested for a limited period to facilitate transition.
