Description of 124 Penland Branch Rd, Burnsville, NC 28714
Listing details for 124 Penland Branch Rd, Burnsville, NC 28714 : Rare opportunity to own approximately 4.6 fully fenced acres on a quiet dead end street with wonderful neighbors and glorious mountain views. There is an impressive amount of infrastructure already in place. Whether your vision is a working farm, homestead, future homesite, workshop property, or a combination of all four, this unique Western North Carolina property offers a tremendous head start.
The property has been in continuous vegetable production for approximately 10 years and is thoughtfully laid out for efficient agricultural use. Two approximately 100 foot high tunnels, numerous established outdoor growing beds, underground irrigation throughout the property, and both drip and overhead watering systems provide the foundation for a productive growing operation. A deep agricultural well supplies water to the farm infrastructure, with additional spigots conveniently located throughout.
A professionally graded and graveled driveway leads to a substantial fully insulated metal building divided into two functional spaces. The larger side is currently configured as a workshop with electricity, LED lighting, abundant outlets, workbenches, shelving and multiple access points. The second side serves as a dedicated produce pack house and includes a walk in cooler, stainless steel wash area, drying tables, fans, vegetable processing equipment and additional workspace. A large concrete apron provides valuable working space in front of the building.
Additional improvements include an older tobacco barn with electricity and a large, high clearance carport currently sheltering a permanently situated 24 foot travel trailer with porch, water and on demand hot water. A 2 bedroom septic system is already installed nearby, opening the door to future residential possibilities.
The sellers have long envisioned a homesite on the upper portion of the property, where a future residence could overlook the working acreage while maintaining the existing agricultural and workshop areas below. Remove the trailer in the future and the substantial carport could potentially serve as covered parking, equipment storage or an outdoor living area.
For the past five years, the property has been leased to beginning farmers and has continued to support active vegetable production. The farm has an established agricultural history and existing connections within the local farming community.
With fencing, well, septic, irrigation, high tunnels, growing beds, cold storage, processing space, workshop, barn and access already established, this is far more than vacant acreage. Beyond vegetable production, the fully fenced acreage offers exciting possibilities for those interested in raising chickens for fresh egg production, keeping small livestock, and creating a more self sufficient lifestyle. Imagine gathering fresh eggs each morning, growing your own produce, raising animals, and enjoying the rewards of homesteading in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. Whether your goal is a productive hobby farm, a diversified agricultural operation, or simply a quieter, more sustainable way of life, this property provides an exceptional foundation for bringing that vision to life. It is an opportunity to take over a thoughtfully developed property and make it your own.
Bring your vision. Much of the hard work is already here.
