Welcome to the wild side of the mountains! Graceful whitetail deer and turkeys with feathers fanned are familiar sights in this hidden mountain cove. Tumbling trout water bordered by open meadows creates a natural paradise for wildlife and the few people fortunate enough to share this peaceful mountain valley. It is a hiker's dream, located in the shadow of the big mountains, with the Appalachian Trail running the ridge line just above the property. Bull Branch comes through the center of the cove and joins Plum Orchard Creek in the center of the land. An original chestnut log cabin has been rebuilt from the foundations up and provides a serene overnight stay or a day house. The back porch with a native rock fireplace looks out over Plum Orchard Creek, creating a perfect spot to end your day. The property sits just beneath the Blue Ridge Divide, and the water sources are clean and unpolluted. This is the ultimate property for a family retreat, offering recreational opportunities, peace, quiet, and safety. This serene community is protected from overdevelopment and will forever remain pristine. The streams flow into Lake Burton, with a boat ramp within a few miles. An easy drive to downtown Clayton provides farm-to-table dining, festivals, and shopping. Call today to see this gorgeous property!
