Property details
About 1255 Tiger Creek Rd
Whispers of the simplicity and beauty of old-world Appalachian living echo throughout these mountains. A rare opportunity high atop Ripshin Mountain awaits! Just past the gated driveway, you're greeted with a park-like setting at the foothill. A 20x12 furnished cabin or 'tiny home' sits on the bank of one of the property's (3) all-season creeks that overlooks a private waterfall fed by neighboring Cherokee National Forest. The no-utilities cabin offers vacation rental potential or a private retreat from the rest of the property. Under the tree canopies you'll find multiple cleared grassy levels used for picnics, enjoying nature, etc. Winding gracefully up and around the mountainside, the quarter mile driveway gives way to a one of a kind view of the circa 1900 farmhouse on the horizon. A running creek in front of the home has a natural pool for enjoying. Home is As-Is, no value. Modern-day value of the home is for the infrastructure: an established 1bed septic system, electricity, and natural spring water supply delivered via modern PEX lines. The farmhouse bones, with wormy chestnut, and working fireplace, would make for a lovely restoration project, a comfortable guesthouse, off-grid retreat, or seasonal hunting bunker. Before reaching the farmhouse, there's a crook in the road which leads up higher to sweeping summit views of the mountains and potential build spots for a custom home. Sunrises, sunsets, and stargazing are sure to dazzle! Property is approx 4000' above sea level, current Greenbelt tax status, features 3 all-weather creeks, 2 natural springs, and diverse topography. The parcel division will be for 22acres and the new buyers are welcome to collaborate the lines. Valid proof of funds required before interior home tour consideration. Do not approach the *home* without prior approval. Land viewings are welcome and by appointment. 4x4 or fwd suv recommended.
