Turn-Key Farm Life has arrived in beautiful Catawba County — and this is the kind of property buyers spend years searching for. The moment you turn down Joe Johnson Road and catch your first glimpse of “The Farm Experience,” you’ll know you’ve found something special. From the iron double-gated entrance to the fully paved driveway lined with striking black fencing and active livestock, this property delivers the dream from the very first impression. Perfectly situated on 9 breathtaking acres, this fully operational working farm blends comfort, function, and unforgettable beauty. The full brick home welcomes you with timeless curb appeal, inviting porches, mature landscaping, and quality craftsmanship throughout. Inside, you’ll find glowing hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, spacious living areas, and a layout designed for every stage of life. The primary suite and an additional bedroom are conveniently located on the main level, while upstairs offers additional bedrooms plus a bonus room perfect for guests, hobbies, or entertaining. Out back is where the magic truly happens. Take in jaw-dropping sunset views from the brand-new illuminated deck overlooking the pool, rolling pastureland, and future pond site. The outdoor living spaces were built for gathering — featuring an expansive pool patio, outdoor kitchen, spa, and endless places to relax after a long day on the farm. For the car enthusiast, hobbyist, or business owner, the detached full brick garage is a dream setup complete with HVAC, TV lounge area, and workspace flexibility. The barn is equally impressive, featuring its own HVAC system along with a fully equipped kitchen ideal for canning, food prep, and farm-to-table living. The land itself is already producing and ready to go from day one. Enjoy a fully established orchard with fruit trees and bushes, thriving vegetable gardens, cattle, chicken coops, and room to continue growing your homestead vision. Water and power are strategically placed throughout the property, making daily farm operations simple and efficient. This is more than a home — it’s a fully established lifestyle property that is nearly impossible to recreate at this price point. Truly turnkey, fully functional, and ready for its next chapter.
