732 Crowe Dairy Road, Forest City, NC

The historic Crowe Dairy Farm represents a rare convergence of mid-century agricultural utility and modern hospitality within the Forest City landscape. At the center of the thirteen-acre estate sits a 1940s dairy barn, meticulously preserved and reimagined as a five-thousand-square-foot venue. The principal residence, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home spanning three thousand square feet, offers sophisticated dual-level living including a secondary catering kitchen and a climate-controlled sunroom. Beyond the residential footprint, the grounds function as a self-sustaining ecosystem, featuring productive orchards, vineyards, and apiaries alongside specialized horse stables and a retail structure. For the discerning investor, the Western North Carolina foothills are increasingly sought after for agrotourism and private compounds, as land tracts of this utility and vintage become exceptionally scarce. The property remains an active enterprise, equipped with expansive workshops and multiple outbuildings that support a wide range of commercial or private pursuits. Private viewings of this estate may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
