H&G farms is a young farm on it's way to becoming a sustainable organic farm. Many of the current systems are all ready providing multiple sustainable functions, such as solar electricity in the main farm house, ram pump and solar pump systems. Our 3,600ft green house used to jump start and extend the growing season, and permaculture sustainable regenerative principles are being applied and implemented throughout the farm.
Only a 35-45 minute drive from Asheville and nearby many outdoor adventures, although it's safe to say that one could adventure within the 24 acres that the farm is on. Playing in the streams and falls, hiking through the grounds, or fishing in our stocked pond while bird watching and wildlife viewing. Kids and adults alike can get a close view of our farm animals, cows, horses, and chickens throughout the grounds. Dogs are welcomed as long as they are friendly to farm animals and other dogs, and you will certainly be greeted by our farm dogs!
If you are looking to get away and relax in nature, and/or looking to stay near the proximity of city fun, this is the place for you.
We also offer permaculture workshops and customized sustainable education for anyone interested in work exchange living, as well as discount rates on cabins for anyone interested in getting their hands dirty and work in exchange. If you are interested in any type of work exchange or volunteer please keep in mind that it will take up time from vacationing so it's better suited for a long term stay.
Please keep in mind that the farm is available for you to walk through it, observe, and responsibly interact. Occasionally we can do farm tours specially in season and during work hours M-F 9am to 4pm, either way we are always happy to show you how to get around so that you can enjoy the grounds at your own leisure.
Hope that you book your stay and that we will see you soon!
About Max Segovia
The property owners Paul and Valerie Holstein purchased the property in April 2012. They believe and support sustainable living and are very dedicated on doing their own part so that a better ecological balance on earth can be reached. Holstein's farm ultimate goal is to be a sample and educational farm, where one can sit back relax and enjoy the setting, or volunteer and work in exchange for permaculture experience.
Max Segovia purchased this house in 2012
Why Max Segovia chose Smoky Mountains
They searched the entire East Coast of the US for the perfect location to build their retreat. They choose the Asheville area for its mild climate while still having four seasons. They also loved the mountains, pastures, and streams that are found here. They wanted a place where their family, friends, guests and livestock would all be happy, and the incredible biodiversity of North Carolina was on it's own a very convincing fact.
What makes this house unique
This property offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. During foliage, it is an amazing place to see.
The sustainable design being developed on the farm is very interesting to see, while your stay you will be able to witness and imagine the different stages of succession and what it takes to aid with an ecosystem to maximize function, sustainability, while always playing a regenerative role. We support soil and soil supports life.
And if you are just out for privacy and a piece of mind, it is a great peaceful place for that as well.

Amazing Mountain Paradise!
We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is so cozy and was perfect for four adults & 2 children. It has two bedrooms with queen beds and one with 2 twins. It also has two full baths. It comes stocked with everything you need except toiletries. All you need are clothes, food, bath toiletries, TP, and hand soap. They have lots of games, some books, and even info on local hikes! I would bring a fan if staying in summer, as the upstairs rooms get hot and one room has no ceiling fan. The downstairs stays comfortable. The setting is so tranquil and I really loved all the animals. Highland cows are my favorite! There is lots of room to hike and roam. You can even see waterfalls just a short distance from the house. Even though you're in a country setting, you're only 20-30 minutes from downtown Asheville. This is my dreamhome! We're going to make it an annual trip and hope to be back more often than that!
Amazing Weekend Getaway
We absolutely loved our stay here. Our four kids had such a fun time exploring the grounds and taking in all of the nature. The tree house and swinging bridges were so much fun as well as exploring the creek and woods. We will definitely be coming back.
Perfect Vacation
We truly enjoyed our 2 week getaway to this adorable little cabin. The property was so much fun for our little one. She loved to watch the animals and play in the creek. At night we sat on the porch and enjoyed listening to the babbling brook and fireflies. The property was a bit of a drive for all the hikes we went on (ie Dupont state forest); however, it was a great little place to stay put and enjoy all things to do on the property. We were very impressed with the craftsmanship of the treehouses and all the volunteer tiny homes. We loved meeting Max and his family, including all the furbabies Meadow, Forest, Abby and Stanley:) Overall it was a fantastic summer vacation and we plan on returning for another stay next year.
Charming and remote
We enjoyed our stay at the mountain cabin. We all loved spending time by the creek and walking around the property. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We were not able to get a wifi connection during our stay, but that allowed us more family time. I would highly recommend a weekend stay here.
a magical weekend for the family
The pictures do not do the home or the property justice. Two families with several young kids comfortably spent the weekend in the house and enjoying the grounds. The kids were completely entertained for the entire weekend...and so were the adults! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us and for the wonderful memories.
Breathtakingly serene
If you're looking for a peaceful getaway from the rat race, this is where you need to go.
Map
Leicester is a beautiful mountain area with lush forests, pastures and streams everywhere. It is located near the beautiful city of Asheville, and it is a great place to enjoy the nature and wildlife while not leaving the city life too far behind. NC has the widest ecological biodiversity in the united states and most likely in all North America. The property is tucked deep up in the mountains and is a secure and beautiful place to visit.
