Description

Discover your very own mountain homestead on this remarkable 80+ acre mini-farm, complete with extensive upgraded fencing, cattle watering systems, and a beautiful stream winding through the property. Whether you're dreaming of raising livestock, growing your own food, or simply enjoying unmatched privacy, this land is ready to fulfill it. A classic metal barn and miles of established walking trails make the acreage as functional as it is scenic. At the heart of the property sits a stunning 4,000+ sq ft residence, crafted with meticulous architectural detail—soaring ceilings, elegant transoms, a dramatic helical staircase, and a striking stone gas-log fireplace that anchors the great room. The main-level primary suite offers direct access to the open deck and features a spa-caliber bathroom complete with a huge walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, and generous walk-in closet. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms share an expansive Jack and Jill bathroom, each with private access. The partially finished basement adds flexibility, including an additional room, full bathroom, a charming “wine cellar/storage room,” plus unfinished storage that connects directly to the double garage. Outside, a fenced yard keeps pets safe, while the home's energy-efficient systems, along with a whole house generator, keep comfort and sustainability in harmony. A tractor, side by side, and other farm equipment are also included, making this farm turn-key. This rare offering blends luxury living with farm-ready functionality—the perfect place to live out your homestead or farming dreams.

    "vehicle is a must have commodity to get around when you live out of the town city limits. Unless you like to walk or ride a bike. They're are few other drawbacks as well. Communicating by cell phone is not very good around the countryside, lacking cell towers. This is a problem, even trying to get on the internet. Somedays are better than others but still we have poor reception. Other than that we have the beautiful outdoors. We can enjoy going to the national forest for hiking, camping, hunting, fishing or just driving around the back roads and enjoy scenery as well as wildlife. Living outside the city's limit might have it's drawbacks but you take the good and the bad as it comes and make the best of it."

    "Murphy, NC is a small community with all the basics (yes, including Walmart). There is a lot to do or you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the mountains. Winters are NOT harsh, however, you will need warm clothing. You can enjoy the wildlife from your back deck or walk the many trails throughout the county. Although Murphy will have a Casino come the Summer of 2015; it will have little impact on the quality of life."
