What's special

Charming centennial farmhouse

Once a working farm, this property is an incredible opportunity to build your dream homestead. A charming centennial farmhouse, with a porch that spans the whole front of the house, awaits your upgrades and personal touches. Enjoy a cool breeze, while listening to the sounds of a babbling creek and taking in views of the beautiful Plott Balsam Mountains. Hardwood floors are found throughout most of the home, and an original wood burning stove is the heart of the kitchen. Leave it for character, or renovate and make it your dream kitchen. With a little bit of love, this house could be cozy and sweet. Third bedroom does not have a closet, and is a pass through to the kitchen. It could be used as an office or dining room as well. Monitor heater is primary source of heat. Old fireplace has been sealed. Generous stand-up storage space under the house and an enclosed porch/sunroom is just off the back of the home. The 6.96 acres it sits on has a large length of road footage, with a creek that runs the length of the property. A generally flat field to the right side of the home would make a great place for grazing livestock or planting/gardening. With a gentle incline to the top of a ridge, this property could also be developed with several more potential home sites. The outbuildings on the property are in rough condition and may not be salvageable. This property is being sold as is, but is priced to sell!
