Welcome to Ol' Turtle Farm! This truly remarkable once in a lifetime offering is a piece of
the Appalachian Mountains where the stories write themselves! The property features a
successful, sustainable vegetable farm that produces local, fresh, organic, vegetables
and small fruits. Good soils for a market garden and great local markets. There are
permanent beds of blueberries, raspberries and asparagus. The location is perfect to
expand a u-pick berry operation—rural but easily accessible. 27 acres of land with
mountain views, a beautiful 1500 sq ft home, large 2400 sq ft barn, greenhouse, creek
and a spring fed pond for irrigation or recreation. Plenty of room for an RV, tiny home or
create a basement apartment to add agritourism to the farm income. The home
features 3 BR and 2 BA with an updated kitchen, gorgeous stone hearth fireplace,
updated primary bath, large deck and screened-in porch. It also features an oversized 2
car garage, walk-out basement and large wood stove. The barn has endless
possibilities with plenty of room to store your farming equipment, workshop or studio
with lots of light from 10 skylights. A beautiful stretch of over 300 feet of Cove Creek
sets the introduction at the front of the property along with beautiful fields, pond and the
1056 sq ft greenhouse which could accommodate a transplant business with a ready
market. Just an easy 40 minutes to Asheville and 1hr and 40 minutes to
Charlotte. This is the total package, privacy, picturesque, potential plus convenience.
Come let this amazing property be the next chapter in your story! No farming or
gardening experience. Don’t let that stop you. I have 25 years of mentoring farmers
and am available upon request.
