Outside, the property unfolds into pasture, raised garden beds, an orchard of fruit trees and berries, and a peaceful pond. Multiple barns offer storage and utility space, with the potential to be converted for horses. Three wells serve the property, and a portion of the pasture lies within the floodway and floodplain, contributing to the rich, fertile bottomland that has long made this stretch of the French Broad ideal for farming and grazing.
This is countryside living at its finest, just minutes from downtown Brevard's trails, galleries, music, and community that make this corner of the Blue Ridge so special.
