Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from November 22, 2022
Old Laurel Creek Farm. ~155.5 acres. Private and richly varied property sits on the Knobs, seven miles above Union in beautiful Monroe Co. Entering past a workshed, the freshly gravelled road crosses freshly mowed pasture, laced with the springs, ponds, and streams of the headwaters of Laurel Creek, fresh with wildlife, surrounded by woods, and with two old homestead sites. Hidden in the woods is a cute 1990 cabin, clean, internet connected and weather-tight, but in need of some work. Up thru a stretch of hardwoods and pines is the broad, rolling high pasture, overlooked by its lockable two-story barn. It is a working pasture, currently grazed by Black Angus cattle, sometimes mowed for hay. The edging timber plantations and woods allow both a sweeping view and deep privacy. Old Laurel Creek Farm.
Set in the midst of the Appalachian mountains, this property has a gentle landscape and plenty of water- a highly desirable commodity on any farm. As an old farm, you will sense the hard work of long ago and the tremendous potential for its future. The upper pasture is grazed (rented to neighbor farmer until Nov 2022.) In June 2022, the owner hired local excavator to improve and gravel some of the existing roads, creating excellent access. Recent brush-hogging and clearing of the lower pastures expanded the visibility and access to the lower section of the property.

Additional Information:
The cute gambrel-roofed cabin, built in 1990, has a sunny mudroom, bath, and a great room/kitchen with pine plank floors downstairs. The upstairs loft space is divided into 2 bedrooms. It is clean and weather-tight, but does need work. It is ducted for central heat/air, to work with a heat pump; it has two propane heaters installed, to work with a propane tank. Water is pumped from a cistern, which can be commercially filled or filled with water from the creek. The back deck leads to an intimate yard flanked by a seasonal stream.

4. Mineral rights convey to owner's knowledge.
5. Long range mountain views from upper pasture during fall and winter.

6. The barn has a double hayloft and can be closed and locked. It is fresh and dry; there has been no livestock in it for ~20 years. More recently it was used as a summer retreat space.

7. The property has~0. 6 miles frontage on Knobs Road and 0.4 miles frontage on Old Laurel Creek Rd. There is a short Right of way across the lower, southern part of the property that has not been used in many years.
8. Sold by the boundary.
