897 Cow Branch Br, Green Mountain, NC 28740

About this home

Exceptional rolling pasture with sweeping views in all directions. Look across the valley to Roan Mountain. Drive right onto the property from the paved state maintained road. Don't worry about traffic, Cow Branch ends at the property, so no through traffic. This is the kind of farmland one sees in travel brochures. Cross fenced pastures with natural spring watering points make it ideal for livestock, row crops, etc., but it would also make an incredible homestead with multiple possible home sites. In one area you'll find a clustering of farm buildings including some very large substantial structures. They show their age, but have life left in them and their foundations could be the starting point for new structures. Two wells on the property, one of which is shared with a neighbor. No restrictions so build what you want and do what you want on this incredibly beautiful property. Property is in the Present Use Deferral program. Must see it if in the market for idyllic farmland.
