Farmhouse charm. Room to roam. Nearly 20 acres of possibility.
Enjoy the peace and privacy of country living while being just minutes from downtown Morganton. This distinctive property offers over 20 acres total, complete with a classic barn, powered outbuilding, and additional creekside acreage across Kirksey Drive.
The home sits on 6.13 acres and features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and additional finished space upstairs (that isn't included in heated square footage due to ceiling height being under 7ft); perfect for a home office or bonus room.
Start your mornings on the front porch, spend your evenings on the back deck, and enjoy the freedom of having room to make this property your own.
Homestead dreams, hobby farm plans, or simply more space to breathe; this one brings the possibilities.
