    Description

    Hello! My name is Ryan, I live on a beautiful 27 acre piece of paradise located in the heart of the blue ridge Appalachian mountains only 30 min from Asheville 10 min from the wonderful historic town of Marshall, 20 mins to Hot Springs and the Appalachian Trail. The land is private, quite, breathtaking, and has a raging creek with waterfalls, swimming holes, hiking trails and rock bluffs. I am a 39 year old professional drummer who is deeply passionate about wilderness and eco-developing this piece of land into a sustainable oasis. ALL people are welcomed equally. Zero judgement for race, religion or gender preferences.
