These 29 acres in the highly sought-after Dale Road community of Grassy Creek, with rolling pasture, wide-open skies, and long-range mountain views create a setting that feels both peaceful and full of possibility. But the value here isn't only found in the land. Already established as a working cattle farm with fenced pastures and water distribution to 5 pressurized tanks, this property is primed for productivity. Thoughtfully equipped the land features a 3-stall barn complete with a bathroom, feed room, equipment room, and spacious full loft. Two additional equipment sheds provide generous storage-one with two extra stalls-while an impressive hay barn with drive-through access makes daily operations seamless and efficient. A charming chicken coop adds a touch of homestead appeal. If cattle farming isn't for you, other ventures are easy to incorporate. Multiple stocked ponds dot the landscape, offering serene water views and exciting potential. Imagine casting a line in your own private trout pond, or take advantage of the opportunity to draw in tourists, creating a boutique trout farm, or developing a peaceful camping retreat where guests wake to mist rising over the water. With gently rolling terrain and natural beauty at every turn, the possibilities for multiple income-producing ventures such as agritourism, RV sites, equestrian boarding, or farm-to-table experiences, are as expansive as the views themselves, plus plenty of space to build a home. One house site already exists but once you are on the land, you will see there are multiple locations for that perfect setting you have been dreaming of.
