Some properties offer a home. Others offer an entirely different way of life. Tucked away on 4 beautiful acres near Max Patch Bald & the Appalachian Trail, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat combines the charm of a cozy cabin, the freedom of an established homestead, & the unexpected bonus of an income producing creekside campsite. Surrounded by nature, with mountain views, the setting feels worlds away. Inside, a soaring two-story great room welcomes natural light, while hardwood floors, exposed wood accents & a cast-iron wood stove create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The home features 2 bedrooms, a full bath with heated floors, and a versatile loft, with a wraparound deck perfect for enjoying the mountain scenery. Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. Thoughtfully cultivated grounds feature established garden beds with fresh topsoil, flower garden plots, 6 apple trees & 3 blueberry bushes. Usable acreage, fenced pasture, a historic cabin repurposed as a chicken coop, & a shelter for sheep or goats make homesteading an attainable lifestyle rather than just a dream. An artesian well-fed livestock watering trough & two thriving beehives add to the property's appeal, plus a 50-amp RV hookup & space for camper/RV storage. Follow the sounds of flowing water to your very own creekside campsite, complete with an elevated camping deck and fire pit. This unique feature has welcomed more than 170 guests & generated over $6,000 in rental income, offering established income history & future potential. The home's lower level provides generous workshop space, a half bath & ample storage, while fiber-optic internet and easy access from a state-maintained road add everyday convenience.
