Meredith Valley Farm - ''Where dreams are made by the water's edge.''<br />
Seldom does a property of this caliber enter the market with the opportunity to own a piece of history so rich in tradition. This just happens to be one of those rare finds! Meredith Valley Farm (''MVF'') is no stranger to anyone living in the beautiful foothills of the southern Appalachian mountains of Northeast Tennessee. <br />
MVF is the epitome of a multigenerational family farm with a true heart for community. Originally owned as a working cattle farm dating back to the early 1900s, MVF has blossomed into a versatile commercial and residential property while maintaining the tradition of a working cattle, horse and wildlife farm. For decades MVF has grown and embraced many new personalities and adventures. <br />
This majestic, picturesque 134(+/-) acre farm along the prominent Watauga River offers lush rolling pastures, deep green meadows, breathtaking, panoramic mountain top views, a pond, two year-round springs and seven total homes (2 personal residences, the original farmhouse, a log cabin, 3 riverfront cabins and a 17-site campground). <br />
Upon arrival at MVF, visitors immediately note the''heart'' of the farm - the ''Farmhouse.'' Built in 1918, the historic Farmhouse offers over 3,200 sq ft, 4BR/3BA and provides a front porch view with spectacular sunrises over the Cherokee National Forest. Next door is the Farmhouse Shed that hosts weddings, receptions, reunions, and other events, and is surrounded with lush gardens with a bird's eye view MVF's classic red barn. <br />
Just up the winding private drive is a quaint, log cabin with over 1,000 sq ft, 2BR/1BA, with one of the best front porch pastoral views on the farm. Situated atop MVF's highest point, the ''Top Hill,'' a tiny cabin and campsite presents unsurpassed views of mountain ranges and the city of Elizabethton below. A perfect location to build your dream estate. <br />
There are two beautiful private residence homes that each offer their own unique character and charm. The first is a 2,608 sq ft, 3BR/3BA, two-story Victorian home with stunning views and a backyard pool for outdoor enjoyment. The second is a 2,800 sq ft, 3BR/3BA two-story traditional home with wrap-around porch to absorb spectacular long-range mountain and river views. Driving down to the entrance of the farm and along the Watauga River are 3 riverfront cabins, the River Shed, 17 RV sites and an office. Each of the riverfront cabins, uniquely themed, have private decks and fishing piers along the sparkling waters of the Watauga River. Cabin 1 - American Cabin, 570 sq ft, 1BR & loft/1BA; Cabin 2 - Outdoor Cabin, 570 sq ft, 1BR & loft/1 BA; Cabin 3 - Western Cabin, 616 sq ft, 2BR/2BA. The perfect setting to find peace, relaxation and take in all the natural beauty. A fisherman's dream spot as well, located in the Trophy Trout Section of the Watauga River with views protected by Sycamore Shoals State Park. Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail also runs on this side of the river. The River Shed is a magical spot for hosting events and making memories. As an investment property, 5 of the properties (4 cabins and the farmhouse), and the 17 RV sites are consistently rented and provide an excellent income opportunity. The event sheds host weddings, retreats and various gatherings also providing additional income. More detail provided upon request. <br />
