About This Home

As of August 2025

Tucked away on over 10.5 acres, this private retreat offers space, serenity, and room to grow. Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, a quiet escape, or a place to finally breathe, this property delivers. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features 1,700+ square feet on the main level, with another 1,000+ square feet downstairs—ready for your imagination and personal touch. The property sits atop Lynn Mtn, but is level around the homesite, slopes down into the woods. With a bit of clearing, you’ll reveal incredible views worth waking up for. A 30x40 workshop is perfect for car enthusiasts, tinkerers, or hobbyists, while the separate two-carport/tractor shed provides shelter for equipment, tools, and weekend toys. Only 20 minutes from downtown Hickory, you’re close to shopping, dining, and cultural events—yet still get to come home to the peace and stillness of country living. Simple in design, but full of potential, this home is a blank canvas for the lifestyle you’ve been craving.
