There is a strong sense of community here where neighbors help neighbors. Miles of farmland and mountain vistas awaits you. Meet a variety of farmers, from cattle and wildflowers, to CBD.

40 Shook Cove Road
Leicester, NC 28748
$589,000

At the end of a quiet gravel road, where three mountains seem to hold hands around a lush valley, sits 40 Shook Cove Rd., a place that feels like you’ve arrived at the edge of the world. Tucked into the historic farming community of Big Sandy Mush, this postcard perfect valley remains largely untouched, still stewarded by original settler families. Sparkling creeks wind through rolling pastures and wildflower-filled meadows, while conserved mountain lands stretch beyond your reach, creating a rare sense of seclusion. Wildlife flourishes here, and the elevation brings refreshingly cool summer air and peaceful winter snowfalls. Set on Newfound Mountain at the end of the valley, this timber-frame cabin rests on a private, wooded tract surrounded by forest and seasonal mountain views. The setting offers remarkable privacy while remaining within easy reach of Asheville, Waynesville, and endless outdoor adventure.
