32286 Laton, Albemarle, Stanly

Set across 54.04 acres in two parcels, Mountain Creek Farm offers a rare blend of protected farmland, agricultural productivity, and income-producing potential. A landscape of rolling farmland, open pasture, wooded acreage, mature oak trees, a pond, and creek frontage creates a setting that is both scenic and functional. Protected by a conservation easement with Three Rivers Land Trust, the property is intended to preserve its agricultural, scenic, and natural character while still allowing it to function as a working farm or private estate. The easement does not permit the existing historic house to be used as a residential dwelling; however, a designated one-acre building envelope allows for the construction of a future single-family residence. The existing home can operate as a produce store or for educational, recreational, or research based activities. Rich in both history and utility, the property is improved with a collection of functional farm buildings and a historic farmhouse that support its longstanding agricultural use. The farm features an established blueberry operation with over 300 pesticide-free bushes, raised garden beds, asparagus rows, and a seasonal U-pick business. Existing improvements include a two-bedroom historic house originally built by Dr. Laton in the early 1900s, with additions completed by the Mortons in 1944-1945. Additional structures include a 13-stall barn with hay loft, a four-bay equipment shed or run-in, a milking parlor, storage barn, and grain silo. Currently used for agriculture, the land is also well-suited for horses, livestock, hunting, gardening, agritourism, hobby farming, and more. Mountain Creek Farm presents a rare opportunity to own a legacy property with both purpose and beauty, just 4 miles from downtown Albemarle, 5 miles to Badin Lake, and an ~ hour to Charlotte.
