Set across 54.04 acres in two parcels, Mountain Creek Farm offers a rare blend of protected farmland, agricultural productivity, and income-producing potential. A landscape of rolling farmland, open pasture, wooded acreage, mature oak trees, a pond, and creek frontage creates a setting that is both scenic and functional. Protected by a conservation easement with Three Rivers Land Trust, the property is intended to preserve its agricultural, scenic, and natural character while still allowing it to function as a working farm or private estate. The easement does not permit the existing historic house to be used as a residential dwelling; however, a designated one-acre building envelope allows for the construction of a future single-family residence. The existing homesite can operate as a produce store or for educational, recreational, or research based activities. The farm features an established blueberry operation with over 1,200 pesticide-free bushes, asparagus rows, and a seasonal U-pick business. Additional structures include a 13-stall barn with hay loft, a four-bay equipment shed or run-in, a milking parlor, storage barn, and grain silo. Currently used for agriculture, the land is also well-suited for horses, livestock, hunting, gardening, agritourism, hobby farming, and more. Mountain Creek Farm presents a rare opportunity to own a legacy property with both purpose and beauty, just 4 miles from downtown Albemarle, 5 miles to Badin Lake, and an ~ hour to Charlotte.

AIRPORT OVERLAY
A-O
General Residential District
The R-10 General Residential District is intended to emphasize a priority on quiet residential neighborhoods well outside of the urban core of the city and outside of watershed and other environmentally sensitive areas, but still well connected to collector streets with easy access to the larger city. This low density district features some small variation in housing types, but overall maintains a predominantly low intensity residential character consisting of single family detached and two family dwellings along with limited home occupations and private and public community uses. This district will accommodate residences with access to both public water and sewerage.
