The living room features a fireplace with gas logs. Enjoy morning coffee and evening sunsets on the porch, or stroll to the 36x48 barn, detached garage, and outbuildings. The topography offers acreage suitable for gardens, hay, animals, or entertaining, plus wooded hillside with privacy, trails, a secluded building site, and timber. With access to a beautiful creek, you can fish on-site or explore abundant local fishing at nearby streams, rivers, and state parks. Rocky Fork State Park, just minutes away, offers hiking, biking, rock climbing, and camping. Well-water, agricultural zoning, and no city taxes keep rural living attainable. The property also qualifies for Greenbelt tax advantages, making ownership practical whether your vision is a homestead, hobby farm, farm-to-table venture, private retreat, or investment property. Located near Interstate 26, you're only 20 minutes to Johnson City's shopping, dining, and medical centers and under an hour to Asheville's arts, culinary scene, and airport. The area offers hiking like the Appalachian Trail, rafting and kayaking, wineries, and events such as the Apple Festival in Erwin and the Ramp Festival in Flag Pond. Offered as-is, this home retains its original character. While fully functional with water and electricity, it has no central HVAC, and some may wish to update areas to suit comfort and style. Any updates are at the buyer's discretion, offering a rare chance to preserve history or tailor it to your vision. Buyer/Buyer agent to verify all information.
