Chapter 3️⃣: September, 1883: Now advanced in years, patriarch John Goforth deeds the property to his four children, one section each. Most of today's farmstead goes to son Avery, pictured here with his home - our original farmhouse - in the very early 1900s.

Chapter 2️⃣: 1858. Sadly, our original family's ownership would be cut short, after patriarch N. Elliott dies unexpectedly. Oak Hill would be sold to John Evans Goforth, grandson of Revolutionary War Hero Preston Goforth. The Goforth family became custodians of Oak Hill for more than 130 years, and are responsible for much of what you see today!

August 13, 1844: Oak Hill is founded when Mr. N. Elliott purchases 300 acres "lying on the waters of North Muddy Creek" from prominent area landowner Alburto Higgins. Higgins had acquired the land through Royal grants dating back to the 18th Century.

Today, we're one of the most historic working farms in Western North Carolina -- busy hosting weddings & events, boarding and raising horses, and producing hay. Nearly 200 years on, some 267 of our acres are still intact, and only four families have called Oak Hill home.

Tune in next week for Chapter 2 of Oak Hill History!

We have come through Helene with only minor damage. Our lower hayfields and all pastures flooded to varying degrees, and we have some damage to one building -- but our family, home, and horses are all OK. The rest of our region, however, is not so fortunate. The situation in WNC is indescribable. We are currently co-donating a truck and trailer of disaster relief supplies, which our sister company Coats Classic Cars will be bringing here to McDowell County from their Birmingham, AL location this week.

IF YOU NEED HAY, we have a number of 4x5 orchard-fescue rolls available. No squares. They've been wet, but not flooded. We would feed them to our own horses. Our road is accessible, our tractor is running, and we can load. Tell us what you need.

IF YOU HAVE A HORSE that you need to move: We've taken in 3, and are pretty much full - but we can host ONE mare, or a gelding who can be pastured with mares. This will be pasture-only with no shelter, but the pasture is secure. Feeding service is available.

Our WEDDING & EVENT facilities are NOT damaged, and will be back online after we regain electricity.

Our HIKING & HORSEBACK trails are closed until further notice.

We are currently on limited staff and irregular hours; the best way to reach us is via FB Messenger or call or text 828-582-0320.

Our hearts are with all those affected by this storm, and our most sincere thanks are with all of those working the front lines.

Our Story

We invite you to experience the serene beauty and timeless charm of one of the Southeast's most historic and picturesque places, Oak Hill Farm. Located just 39 miles East of Asheville, and 70 miles North of Greenville / Spartanburg airport (GSP), Oak Hill Farm is both a destination venue and right down-the-road.

Situated on 267 sprawling acres, Oak Hill has been in continuous operation as a working farm since 1849. This historic jewel, noted by authors, historians, and railroad engineers, features beautiful views, rustic buildings, and incomparable settings to make lifelong memories. From the crest of Huntsville Mountain to the rippling waters of Glade Creek nearly 1000 feet below, you'll find miles of trails to ride, and breathtaking scenes to make timeless wedding photographs. In addition to hosting beautiful weddings and special occasions, we grow horse-quality hay, offer full-service horse boarding, host trail and arena riding, and breed legendary Arabian Horse bloodlines.
