Nestled at the end of a quiet country road, this exceptional 16.36-acre portion of the original 35.47-acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a private mountain retreat surrounded by natural beauty. The land features a stunning blend of open level land, mature hardwoods, and flowing water, creating a peaceful setting that feels worlds away from the pace of everyday life. At the heart of the property stands a beautiful 100+ year-old barn with loft and original crib house, rich with character and Appalachian history. A scenic knoll above the barn provides an ideal homesite for a custom mountain residence, where you can enjoy pastoral views and the soothing sounds of the creek below. With approximately 1,371 feet of bold creek frontage and direct border with U.S. Forest Service land, the property offers outstanding privacy and endless opportunities to explore the surrounding wilderness. A 3-bedroom septic permit is already on file, helping streamline plans for building your dream home or mountain getaway. Sensible restrictions will be added at closing, including a 1,200 sq ft minimum building requirement to help protect the integrity and value of the surrounding properties.
