Our beautiful yard on South Mountain is available for rent! Small dogs, large dogs, Easy to locate on Alt rt. 40 in Washington County. Walking distance from the Appalachian Trail. To get to the fully fenced in yard, the driveway is on a steep hill then levels out close to the gate. Come and go as you please. We have a Well spigot for water access in the middle of the yard. The view especially in the Fall when the leaves are at its peak is spectacular. Public restrooms available on the AT only a 30 second drive away.

Hard Struggle Homestead

Unfenced

30 acres

Complete freedom to roam on 30 acres with a bonus that our land is surrounded by another 200+ acres of electric company owned land with no roads, no cars, no neighbors… just grass and forest. We have a Google Earth picture roughly showing the property lines and the driveway for you to use while exploring. We ask that you please stay out of the treeline to the right of the driveway as you drive up the hill It's the neighbor's property and it's marked by no trespassing signs. There is no house on the property. Just a camper and a shed. Park anywhere on the road or at the big circle at the top (near the farm office.) We have wifi near the brown shed at the top of the road. Wifi: HSH Password: HardStruggleHomestead Be forewarned that our land is on the side of a mountain so the walk up the driveway will be on a slow incline. Your dogs will be tired after this trip, we promise. As of April 1st there are no animals or livestock on site except for a few bee hives on the property. Most often, the owner is not on site but may do some maintenance time to time. If you see him, he will wave hello… Rest assured he will not approach your dogs unless you approach him. We understand reactive dogs.

I live in a quiet neighborhood. My yard is fully fenced in with a shed out back to provide shade on those hot days. Your dog can run and play to their hearts content. Safely. There are chairs out back for you to relax and hang out. I have limited parking, but there is off street parking. A driveway along with a small nook out front.
