Property Description
Old Laurel Creek Farm. ~155.5 acres. Private and richly varied property sits on the Knobs, seven miles above Union in beautiful Monroe Co. Entering past a workshed, the freshly gravelled road crosses freshly mowed pasture, laced with the springs, ponds, and streams of the headwaters of Laurel Creek, fresh with wildlife, surrounded by woods, and with two old homestead sites. Hidden in the woods is a cute 1990 cabin, clean, internet connected and weather-tight, but in need of some work. Up thru a stretch of hardwoods and pines is the broad, rolling high pasture, overlooked by its lockable two-story barn. It is a working pasture, currently grazed by Black Angus cattle, sometimes mowed for hay. The edging timber plantations and woods allow both a sweeping view and deep privacy.

Old Laurel Creek Farm. Set in the midst of the Appalachian mountains, this property has a gentle landscape and plenty of water- a highly desirable commodity on any farm. As an old farm, you will sense the hard work of long ago and the tremendous potential for its future. The upper pasture is grazed (rented to neighbor farmer until Nov 2022.) In June 2022, the owner hired local excavator to improve and gravel some of the existing roads, creating excellent access. Recent brush-hogging and clearing of the lower pastures expanded the visibility and access to the lower section of the property. Additional Information: The cute gambrel-roofed cabin, built in 1990, has a sunny mudroom, bath, and a great room/kitchen with pine plank floors downstairs. The upstairs loft space is divided into 2 bedrooms. It is clean and weather-tight, but does need work. It is ducted for central heat/air, to work with a heat pump; it has two propane heaters installed, to work with a propane tank. Water is pumped from a cistern, which can be commercially filled or filled with water from the creek. The back deck leads to an intimate yard flanked by a seasonal stream. 1. Owner has not lived in house. He rented it. Therefore, information is best to his knowledge. No current tenants. a. Cistern provides water to the house, but may not be dependable. b. Central heat/AC: Unit is not working. c. Pine hardwood floors downstairs, plywood floors upstairs. d. Some new ceiling in living room, new light fixtures. e. Bathroom updated in 2020. Plumbing serviced June 2022. f. Large back deck. 2. Tax is based on Farm status with owner leasing pasture. 3. Fences on property do not mark the property boundaries, they are for control of cattle. 4. Mineral rights convey to owner's knowledge. 5. Long range mountain views from upper pasture during fall and winter. 6. The barn has a double hayloft and can be closed and locked. It is fresh and dry; there has been no livestock in it for ~20 years. More recently it was used as a summer retreat space. 7. The property has~0. 6 miles frontage on Knobs Road and 0.4 miles frontage on Old Laurel Creek Rd. There is a short Right of way across the lower, southern part of the property that has not been used in many years. 8. Sold by the boundary. 9. Seasonal lease of pastures; thus taxed at agricultural rates. About 40-60 acres are cleared for pasture. Pines and poplars were planted for potential harvest. A substantial part of the property is in the native mixed hardwood forest. Most of the boundaries are within the forested areas, assuring privacy. 10. In Oct 2022, owner purchased 1.5 acres fronting Old Laurel Creek and joining the property at the front entrance. This enhanced the property by assuring future property owner had control of road frontage on Old Laurel Creek.
