Situated on 26+/- of unrestricted acres in the mountains of Western North Carolina, this remarkable private estate offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, functionality, and peaceful mountain living. With breathtaking long-range views, flowing spring-fed streams, open pastureland, and endless possibilities, this property is truly a rare find. The home features 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms with an inviting layout designed for gathering and entertaining. Spacious living areas, two gas fireplaces, and multiple sleeping accommodations make it ideal for large families, retreats, or hosting guests. The original owners even hosted annual Easter Sunrise Services here, a testament to the property's peaceful and welcoming setting. One of the guest rooms includes its own gas fireplace and offers the potential for a private guest suite, recreation space, or additional living area. The driveway could also be extended around to provide a flat, stair-free entrance if desired. Equestrian enthusiasts and outdoor lovers will appreciate the professional-size 180' x 100' arena - large enough for a full dressage arena - along with pasture space, trails, and multiple outbuildings. A large metal building currently serves as a horse barn with temporary stalls and includes power and exterior water, while an antique log barn with attached workshop provides additional storage and charm. The approximately 6-acre section containing the arena, pasture, pole barn, well, septic, and power could easily function as a separate self-contained parcel for future resale, rental income, or development potential. The property also offers several additional homesites, making it ideal for a family compound, vacation rentals, or expansion opportunities. Surrounded by other large privately owned tracts, the area offers exceptional hiking and outdoor recreation. Explore nearby creeks, trails, Christmas tree fields, and waterfalls including Slatten Falls and the Chinquapin waterfalls. Conveniently located approximately 15 minutes from Glenville and 25 minutes from Cashiers, the property remains easily accessible year-round via county-maintained gravel roads. From spectacular sunrises and sunsets to frequent mountain rainbows, every inch of this property reflects the serenity and beauty of mountain life. More than a home, this is a sanctuary - a place to gather, grow, create memories, and truly disconnect from the world.
