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. Whether you're seeking a year-round residence, seasonal escape, working homestead or a retreat with income potential, this remarkable property offers the freedom to make it your own. For those seeking even greater privacy and possibilities, an additional 19.97 acres of adjoining land are available for purchase.
