Description

Welcome to Leafstone Farms, an extraordinary 60.23-acre estate nestled within an exclusive, high-elevation community near Western Carolina University. This remarkable property offers endless possibilities, including use as a private estate, equestrian haven, family compound, or residential development.

The centerpiece of this property is a stunning custom-built structure with a well-appointed climate-controlled apartment suite, including a large primary bedroom with an ensuite, a full kitchen, and a dining area, ensuring both comfort and convenience. This structure also offers a fully finished multi-purpose seven-bay hobby workshop or storage area that will be the envy of all who see it.

Adjacent to the main building, you'll find a free-standing log barn equipped with nine horse stalls on the ground level and a spacious loft entertainment area in the barn, with two bonus rooms, and a full bathroom — an ideal place for leisure activities and gatherings.

This estate is designed to accommodate various lifestyles — from equestrian enthusiasts to RV living, hobbyists, and families seeking multigenerational spaces. Significant investment in infrastructure that is already in place, including a well-constructed road system with county-grade culverts and drainage for effortless navigation, approximately 1.5 miles of custom equestrian fencing, a hay barn, and a firewood preparation and storage area.

Despite its tranquil and secluded setting, Leafstone Farms is just minutes away from the vibrant downtown Sylva and Western Carolina University, providing the perfect blend of peace and accessibility. Reasonable restrictions are in place. This property represents a once-in-a-lifetime lifestyle opportunity just waiting to be embraced!
