Snaggy Mountain is 67 acres of mountain land operating as both as an organic farm and a musicians/artists retreat. The property consists of three secluded valleys, each with grassy hills surrounded by forests. The first valley is like a little village featuring the main house, the farm, multiple private art studios, and a solar powered music studio/stage. Entering up into the next valley you'll pass a teepee and then walk up the old road and pasture towards two massive black walnut trees and a small writers cabin on the hill top. The third valley is the most heavenly part of the farm, and it's home to the apple orchard campsite. Imagine a grassy a knoll on mountainside surrounded by apple trees and a patch of old growth forest looking straight towards a breathtaking view of the Black and Blue Ridge Mountains. For a campsite it's hard to beat. Depending on time of year there around 12 people living here, usually around 6-8 folks doing artist residencies and then 3 or 4 folks running the farm. . The people living here are pursuing a lifestyle in the arts or sustainability. We also have dogs, cats, ducks, chickens and cows. The town of Burnsville is only a 5-8 minute drive and its a quaint little mountain town but with multiple grocery stores, restuarants, stores, galleries and a rich artistic culture. We're just about 35 minutes from the culturally vibrant Asheville and just 1 hour from the artsy college town atmosphere of Boone. The farm is old family land owned originally by my great, great grandfather. About 40 years ago my grandfather had a dairy farm out here, eventually that ended and the land sat more or less abandoned until 2012 when I (Jared) moved out here and beganbuilding a place revolving around music, arts, sustainability and community. It's been a fascinating ride and the best part has been hosting all of the inspiring people who are out exploring and making dreams come true. Learn more about this land: Wake up on private knoll with breathtaking view of the Black and Blue Ridge Mountains. The site has a fire-pit, chairs, a camp table and a big old bus for shelter. It can be accessed easily with 2wd, has plenty of privacy, and is located not a far walk above the communal house where you can use the bathroom/shower. Keep in mind the bathroom is a communal space shared with other guests.

The land was beautiful and Jared was (is) an outstanding host -- very nice and accommodating. The farm is close to town if you want a restaurant, although we stayed put. It was also nice to have water and a bathroom.

Jared was a wonderful host. The site was amazing and the views stunning. On our trip we had all kinds of weather which made the mountain stand out in various ways. The lightning bugs lit up the trees and there were so many stars to see. On our last night we had heat lightning which lit up the skies and made us feel like we were watching fireworks. It was nice to have shelter there to keep us dry when it rained. Our dogs were able to roam around the site. Jared gave us a tour of his garden and gave us tons of plants to take home. We will be back

This space was just what I needed. The views are incredible and there’s so much to explore around (driving or walking). Some of my favorite parts were afternoon waterfall showers and the way the hills seem to change when the sun finds a new position. I would love to come back and visit Snaggy Mountain again in the future.
