About This Home
Step back in time with this adorable 1952 farmhouse, brimming with character and nestled on 14.50 unrestricted acres in the heart of the mountains. With approximately 800 feet of creek frontage, this property is a rare find for those who dream of country living. Well cared for and cherished through the years, the home offers 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, along with a precious country kitchen and a welcoming dining room. Original hardwood floors are believed to be under most of the carpeting. Upstairs, you’ll find 335’ square foot of an imaginative retreat (not counted in the finished/heated sq footage) — a cozy, tucked-away space perfect for sleeping, playing, crafting, or creating your own private cottage nook. Please note that the upstairs rooms do not meet the 7-foot ceiling height requirement. This home could be reimagined into a perfect mountain getaway, a full-time residence, or a charming rental property. Outside, an outbuilding once served as a canning shed and storage space, offering endless potential for hobbyists or gardeners. The large yard provides plenty of room for children to play, while the soothing sound of the creek invites you to relax on the front porch and simply listen to nature. Ideal for a buyer with imagination, talent, and resourcefulness, this property is ready for someone to breathe new life into a home that has been so dearly loved. Due to the home’s age, the agent was unable to obtain a septic permit, and a survey is recommended. Please note: During Hurricane Helene, the bridge to the house was washed away. A footbridge has been built, and the family is exploring options to construct a new permanent bridge. The wood cookstove does not convey with the appliances.
