Imagine a tranquil oasis, with plenty of room for the extended family, in the Big Pine Community of Madison County. Expansive amounts of living spaces include a huge great room for gathering, a family room for doing puzzles, an exercise room (who needs the gym!) & huge game room for shooting pool. The wrap-around porch offers peaceful sounds of the creek. You are remote enough to feel lost in nature, and just 7 miles to the French Broad River Park (Barnard-Section 9) where you can kayak down river as it meanders into the Pisgah National Forest. Perfect for the equestrian lover or mini-farm, or a family compound of nature lovers! Barns are in place! 40 acres of woods/ pasture/ trails with multiple additional building sites. End of road privacy. Be sure to view the property drone video, the floor plan & Matterport video of the home. Just a 25 minute drive to groceries. French Broad Electric to install fiber internet. See orange lit coverage map on FB website- most likely in 2021.
