Family Compound. Income Property. 500,000 Acres of Backyard Whether you're building a legacy for the whole family or creating a second income stream, this 10.53-acre homestead retreat delivers both — without asking you to sacrifice comfort along the way. Set along a year-round, spring-fed creek, two fully independent cabin wings, joined by a climate-controlled breezeway, let you live together or apart: house extended family in one wing while renting the other as a short-term rental (permitted), or run both as income property while you homestead elsewhere on the land. 45 owned solar panels, dual 22kW Generac generators, per-wing propane tankless water heaters, and Starlink keep each wing fully self-sufficient — real independence, not a downgrade, since you'll still have a 24' saltwater pool, 7-person hot tub, and two complete kitchens to come home to. The West Wing (1,600± sq ft, 4BR/3BA) offers a vaulted great room, open kitchen, wood stove, loft, and screened porch. The East Wing (1,462± sq ft, 2BR/3BA) adds a floor-to-ceiling library, its own great room and wood stove, and a walk-out lower level with a 2-car garage and flexible bonus room. The land already works for you, too: a greenhouse, chicken coop, raised garden beds, fruit trees, and bee hives are established and producing, alongside a workshop, rec building, and RV hookups. A trail connects directly to Pisgah National Forest — over 500,000 acres of public land at your doorstep, with hiking, wildlife, and hunting access all your own. Set in a gated community with a $350/year road-maintenance fee, you're 20 minutes to Lenoir and 35 to Blowing Rock and Morganton. One property. A family compound, an income generator, and a hunting ground — your choice. Schedule your private tour today.
