This stunning 91.4 acre conservation easement property, protected in perpetuity by Mainspring Conservation Trust, offers an unparalleled opportunity for agricultural enthusiasts and eco-tourism visionaries. The easement ensures the land remains a thriving, sustainable haven, preserving its natural beauty, wildlife habitat, beautiful woodland and open vistas—making it a legacy investment with timeless appeal. Situated in the picturesque Andrews Valley, this property boasts breathtaking views and a serene setting perfect for farming, grazing, horses or launching eco-friendly ventures like nature tours and agritourism, where you could enjoy up to 7 special events annually (e.g., harvest celebrations or square dances) There is a 7.27-acre Farmstead Building Envelope, where new agricultural structures can be built, subject to approval. The original homesite is also available for redevelopment, though the homestead is unsalvageable, and the fallen barn offers potential for vintage barnwood sales. With a 2% impervious surface limit (~1.83 acres), you can create custom rural enterprises while protecting the land's integrity. Outdoor lovers will revel in the area's hiking, fishing, hunting, and birdwatching along the Valley River, enhanced by low-impact recreational opportunities. A historic family cemetery, excluded from the easement, adds unique character without overcomplicating use. Don't miss this chance to own a beautifully preserved slice of North Carolina paradise—perfect for sustainable living and eco-tourism dreams! Please do not go to the land without making an appointment to view, since there is livestock on the property.
