    A Rare Find - Charming Country Cottage on 5 Idyllic Acres. Discover this beautifully renovated 1945 country cottage nestled on 5 peaceful acres just minutes from Whiteville. This unique property offers the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern convenience. Inside: With over 1,300 sq ft of living space, this lovingly updated home features 3 spacious bedrooms and 1 full bath. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave, and the home is connected to Spectrum cable—secured with a $1,800 installation investment. A recent pre-inspection has been completed, and every noted item has already been addressed. A copy of the inspection report is available upon request, along with a detailed list of recent updates to the home. Outside: Accessed via a tree-lined, deeded easement, this home offers exceptional privacy. Surrounded on all four sides by mature trees; you'll enjoy peace and quiet with no neighboring homes in view—except one at the end of the easement on Merritt Road. The land is a perfect balance of open and wooded space: about half is cleared and grassy, featuring a shed, a workshop and a barn, while the other half is lush woodland. The property also includes several fruit trees (cherry, peach and apple), and pecan and walnut trees. The parking area is crushed asphalt. The land is well-suited to beekeeping, small livestock, or gardening. Incidentally, the current owners do garden, and no pesticides have been used while they owned. Barn: 36x32, 3 sections: 10', 18', 11'. Convenience: Located just 10 minutes from Whiteville and only 5 minutes from Chadbourn, you'll have quick access to shopping, dining, and goods and services while still enjoying the tranquility of country living.
