The adage "location, location, location" holds true for this “backyard-homesteader's” paradise! Nested in majestic Lower Burningtown, the land boarders thousands of acres of Forest Service and is across the street from the Needmore Game lands! A quick walk will lead you to bold Burningtown Creek which is home to an amazing diversity of wildlife including trout, herons, bald eagles, ducks, otters, reptiles, and amphibians. This is nature in the raw. The drive to this property provides stunning long-range layers of mountains and rolling hills with quintessential views of old rural America. The Little Tennessee River is a short drive for unbelievable recreation. The house was built approximately 1930 and is sits on .85 acres of mostly level land with a babbling brook running thru it. I can see a garden, chickens, raspberry bramble, blueberry's, fruit trees and honeybees. The house with some TLC can be tailored to your own imagination. The original wood floors are stunning throughout most of the house. There is plenty of living space on the first floor but the second floor provides plenty more space. An R.V. pad can be added to the land as well. Don't miss out on this opportunity!
