DO YOU DREAM OF OWNING YOUR VERY OWN HUNTING PRESERVE AND NATURE RETREAT? TWO GLORIOUS TRACTS SOLD TOGETHER AS ONE TRACT. Property mustbe sold together with 2301 Beaver Dam Rd (MLS#265113) for a total of 80.5 acres ($890,000). Own Owl Crest Farm, an UNRESTRICTED mountain ridge, complete with hunting blind, a creekside gazebo and storage shed with an included tractor. The acreage is filled with a blend of hickory, oak, cherry, hemlock, locust and predominantly tulip poplar that appraisers say would be ready to harvest in 5-10 years. Beside the rushing Beaver Dam Creek there is a generous amount of pasture or gardening land. There are great spaces for beehives. There are ATV trails throughout that wind up to a beautiful sunny knoll near the ridgetop. Perhaps, the site would make a prime place to build a vacation or full-time home with mountain views. You may feel that you are in a forest primeval. Actually, you are close to Boone, not far from Watauga Lake in Tennessee and within ten minutes of Laurel Creek Waterfall Park (known as Trashcan Falls) off highway 321. It's long been a popular place for ASU students for swimming and fishing. The combined tracts are bordered on one side by Beaver Dam Baptist Church. There is a sizeable neighborhood tucked in the forest off the road near the tracts. This is your chance to own a Blue Ridge mountainside where you can return to your senses. The property currently is in Forest Stewardship program that buyer can choose to continue for tax benefits or abandon if it suits your plan.

Incredible long range views make it the perfect location for your private mountain estate or the ideal amount of acreage for a wildlife/hunting retreat.
