8 unrestricted acres backed by USFS lands! Welcome to Nichols Knoll, a private retreat waiting for you to bring your vision of home to life. The rolling terrain of this gently wooded acreage allows for several potential homesites, and a driveway is already roughed in for you. This may just be the project you've been looking for... camp out while you work to upgrade the existing 1960's home, or remove the structure and build another home in its place. The bonus building once housed an additional bedroom. The property is unrestricted – so bring your campers, manufactured homes, and farm animals! There is an old wellhouse on the property; septic permit is not on record. Nestled in the Cartoogechaye area of Franklin, NC, this property is sure to have abundant wildlife with its large forest service borders. Watch the squirrels play, wander the property in search of native plants, and enjoy the abundance of birds and wildlife that call Nichols Knoll home!
