Description

Perfectly set on nearly 350 acres of prime mountain land, Watermill Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a special large tract in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, just minutes from the neighboring Bright's Creek community and golf course. The namesake historical water wheel welcomes you into this exceptional property that features two 2-bedroom, 2-bath homes, buried power infrastructure, multiple pocket pastures, springs and creeks, abundant wildlife, and an existing network of well-maintained roads providing easy access throughout from the paved public road. The land offers a remarkable combination of privacy, usability, and development potential. Multiple broad knobs and ridge tops provide outstanding homesite opportunities, where selective clearing will reveal breathtaking long-range mountain vistas. Re-open extensive (but partially overgrown) pocket pastures to create an extraordinary equestrian property. Potential views of the Blue Ridge Escarpment are truly spectacular and could rival some of the finest in the region. The choice location is a short drove from the Green River, Lake Adger, Hendersonille, Tryon Int'l Equestrian Center, and more. Whether envisioned as a private mountain estate, family compound, recreational retreat, equestrian property, land investment, or future development opportunity, this unique offering combines natural beauty, existing infrastructure, and exceptional accessibility in one of Western North Carolina’s most desirable locations.
