Some properties offer a home. Others offer an entirely different way of life. Tucked away on 4 beautiful acres near Max Patch Bald and the Appalachian Trail, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat combines the charm of a cozy cabin, the freedom of an established homestead, and the unexpected bonus of an incomeproducing creekside campsite. Surrounded by nature, with beautiful mountain views, the setting feels worlds away. Inside, a soaring two-story great room welcomes abundant natural light, while hardwood floors, exposed wood accents and a cast-iron wood stove create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The home features 2 bedrooms, a full bath 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, dedicated flower garden plots, 6 apple trees and 3 blueberry bushes. Usable acreage, fenced pasture, a historic cabin repurposed as a chicken coop, and a shelter for sheep or goats make homesteading an attainable lifestyle rather than just a dream. An artesian well-fed livestock watering trough and two thriving beehives add to the property's appeal, while a 50-amp RV hookup and dedicated space for an RV or camper storage offer even more flexibility. 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 and generated over $6,000 in rental income, offering established income history and future potential. The home's lower level provides generous workshop space, a half bath and 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 mountain escape, working homestead or a retreat with income potential, this remarkable property offers the freedom to make it your own.
