Our six-acre solar-powered goat farm is a quiet and peaceful slice of paradise away from the chaos and noise but close to so many places to adventure. November is still a great month to camp as we generally have cool, sunny days and sleeping bag nights. Feed and play with the goats, picnic along our grass-covered brook, hang out around the large fire pit, and rejuvenate while being close to the many Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountain activities. We have two custom-built RV pads with 15 and 30-amp service plus water and four grass tent locations overlooking a small brook in a forest-shaded park-like setting. Internet is provided by Starlink Business - high speed, low latency, and great for remote workers. We provide solid service throughout the entire property. Work from the top of a mountain!! IP service is available throughout the property - perfect for Van Life or van living. 300-500 down and at least 20-30 up!! Nearby are numerous towns, festivals, hiking trails, lakes, waterfalls, and other outdoor activities such as tubing, white water rafting, and boating. If you want to chill, you can check out a local swimming hole. We have several options for our guests at the farm, including a small zipline, farm activities, loop trail, spring trail, Saturday outdoor movies (on request), and our petting area where you can interact with very friendly goats. RV/CAR/VANLIFE We can help by recommending and using local mechanics, on-site RV repair (they come to us), solar and power troubleshooting, and good old-fashioned southern kindness.

Listen to the sound of rushing Tusquittee Creek below from this private, mountaintop 11.7-acre tract located in stunning Tusquittee Valley, near downtown Hayesville and just 10 minutes from Lake Chatuge. Enjoy gorgeous 360-degree mountain and valley views from your secluded perch. A gated entrance off a county-paved road leads you 0.3 miles up a newly graveled drive to a mountaintop campsite that’s perfectly level and freshly sown with grass. A 200-amp electrical panel with 50/30-amp RV receptacles and a 120V outlet is in place, along with a potable water tank. If you’re pulling a trailer or camper, 4WD is required — the road has been newly graded and graveled but is steep in certain sections. Nearby attractions include historic downtown Hayesville, Lake Chatuge, Lake Nantahala, the 22-mile Chunky Gal Trail, Tusquittee Mountain Range, Fires Creek Recreation Area, Standing Indian Mountain, and the Upper Nantahala River.
