A diamond in the rough! This handyman special is waiting to be rehabbed and turned into an affordable mountain getaway. Great location with the sounds of rushing Hoawards Creek across the road, and a nice building site above the small house. Which appears to have once been a garage. The home sits on two contiguous lots totaling 2.43 acres, and the 3.2-acre spring lot sits a few lots over. The upstairs has not been factored into the total square footage due to access and ceiling heights, but has potential. The spring is shared with a neighbor, and will need some work to function for this home again. The sellers have no knowledge about the septic system. Electric is on to the meter but not working inside the house.
