Discover the ultimate private retreat on 74.48 secluded acres with breathtaking mountain views stretching both east and west from the wide, level ridge top--an ideal setting for your dream home, RV setup, or multi-home family compound. This property is already well on its way to being fully developed, with numerous improvements completed to make building and living easy from day one. A driveway has been installed all the way to the top of the ridge, along with gravel, electricity, a water meter, and a 690-foot well installed in March 2023 that services the upper homesite. A 750-gallon septic tank is also in place, making the property fully prepared for your future custom build. The centerpiece of the property is an impressive 30'x50' metal building set on a 30'x65' concrete slab, featuring 10' bay doors, 14' walls, and a 16.5' peak, plus a 14' RV bay/carport with a circular pull-through drive. Inside the workshop, the sellers have completed a comfortable apartment--perfect for living on-site while building your dream home. The apartment includes durable LVP flooring, a full bathroom and kitchen setup, refrigerator, freezer, all-in-one washer/dryer, wardrobes, pantry, electric fireplace/heat, and a work desk. Above the apartment is an additional 450 sq ft storage loft with a convenient 4-foot-wide staircase, making it easy to store and access equipment or supplies. The property also offers a cleared 1-2 acre area at the bottom of the driveway that is ready for an additional RV hookup, complete with a 50-amp outlet and city water available at the spigot. Modern connectivity is already in place with Twin Lakes fiber optic internet installed both at the bottom RV site and the top homesite. Extensive trail clearing allows you to explore the land from the ridge top all the way to the back of the property, making it ideal for hiking, hunting, and ATV riding. The sellers have added a brand-new chicken coop housing 9 chickens. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of wild turkey and whitetail deer, and the land also features a natural spring and wet-weather creek along the back side. The sellers have expanded the views by clearing portions of the ridge top. For those seeking a turnkey homestead or recreational property, the sellers can also include additional equipment valued at $60,000, including a 2023 Kioti tractor (247 hours) with enclosed cab, heat and air, plus Kioti attachments including a brush hog, box scraper, grapple, and bucket, along with a 2023 Kioti UTV (1,077 miles / 143 hours). All services have been completed at Athens AgCo-op where they were originally purchased. With multiple potential homesites on both sides of the ridge, incredible views, extensive improvements already in place, and unmatched privacy, this rare property offers the perfect opportunity to create your own mountain homestead or recreational escape.
