Located in Historical Cherokee, known worldwide for its natural beauty and the rich gold mining history. The kitchen is quite large, with quartz countertops, tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and tiled flooring. The living room offers a built-in fireplace. The family room (currently used as the formal dining area) has a vaulted / beamed ceiling and a free-standing wood stove. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The master suite includes a jetted tub surrounded by tiled decking. Next to the master suite is the bonus room which would be a great hobby room, den, or maybe a walk-in closet. The property is fenced and crossed fenced for cattle and horses. There's an elaborate chicken coup which would also make a wonderful horse stall. The shop is 25ft x 38ft with power and 220v. There are three water wells on the property and two 2500 gallon water storage tanks. All this and so much more.

FR-20
MA
Foothill Residential-20 Zone
The purpose of the FR zone is to allow for the appropriate development of large-lot single-family home, small farmsteads, and related uses in the foothill areas of the county. Standards for the FR zone are intended to ensure that the development of homes respond sensitively to the foothill setting. Permitted residential uses in the FR zones include a single-family home, small residential care home, and an accessory dwelling unit. The FR zone also conditionally permits non-residential uses compatible with a low-density rural setting, including public and quasi-public uses, mining, animal services, hunting and fishing clubs, nurseries, and commercial stables. Animal grazing, crop cultivation, private stables, on-site agricultural product sales, and other similar agricultural activities are permitted uses in the FR zone. The minimum permitted parcel size in the FR zone ranges from 1 acre to 40 acres. The FR zone implements the Foothill Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
