Iron Horse Farm is 282 acres in far western North Carolina nestled quietly in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Murphy, NC. This farm is a pastoral mountain retreat that boasts 100 acres of gently rolling grasslands, a feature not regularly found in this mountainous region. Currently, the property manages a small herd of cattle, but is used more for the owners equestrian interests. Just next to the main home at the neck of a hollow is a 1.5-acre clear mountain pond used regularly for refreshing summertime swims or fishing for stocked trout. Iron Horse is well improved and includes a 3,188 sq ft owners home, ample equestrian improvements, and a caretakers home among other improvements. There is a great trail system throughout the forested portions of the farm, and you are situated near lots of outdoor recreational opportunities that include Hiwassee Lake and the Ocoee and Hiwassee Rivers. Located at elevations of 1,700 to 2,000 feet, the climate is very pleasant, and the farm offers some highly sought-after seasonal weather. Considered a picturesque Appalachian Mountain town, Murphy is only 30 minutes from the property.
