About This Home

As of April 2022

The location and setting on the Middle Fork of the New River set this vintage log cabin apart. Lots of potential here! The newly renovated Payne Branch Park, just steps away, is a huge plus. Great outdoor space with wrap-around covered porches and an upstairs screened porch plus a flat yard. A spacious kitchen with views of the river, full bathroom with laundry, spacious master and a comfortable dining and living room area complete the first floor. Upstairs is an office/flex space with two closets, another full bath, bedroom and a 2nd living/dining area. There are nice built-ins shelves and cabinets in both dining areas and good storage throughout the cabin. This cabin would make a great full-time, vacation or investment property. Being sold "As Is." Home is in a flood plain. Tenant occupied. Furnished with exceptions.
