Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored Victorian farmhouse offering the flexibility and space today's buyers are seeking. While currently permitted for a 2-bedroom septic system, the home features four spacious sleeping rooms, providing ample space for family, guests, home offices, hobbies, or multi-purpose living. Sellers have also obtained preliminary county approval for a future 4-bedroom septic upgrade, with supporting test hole information and installer estimates available upon request.
Blending historic character with modern comfort, this charming farmhouse showcases original wood wall panels, refinished hardwood floors, a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and custom cabinetry, and a cozy brick fireplace with wood-burning insert. Multiple covered porches invite you to relax and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting.
Outside, you'll discover rolling pastures, mature hardwoods, natural springs, private creek frontage, and breathtaking long-range mountain and valley views. Gentle terrain makes the property ideal for hiking, UTV riding, homesteading, recreation, or future development, with several exceptional building sites throughout the acreage. At the property's highest elevation, a broad, level knoll offers stunning panoramic mountain and valley views with multiple potential homesites.
Included is a separate half-acre parcel directly across the road with private access to the rushing waters of Spencer Branch Creek, creating a truly unique mountain retreat.
Additional improvements include a detached garage, workshop, carport, chicken coop, and storage sheds, providing ample space for equipment, hobbies, farming, or recreational pursuits.
As an added bonus, the home is being offered substantially furnished, allowing buyers to begin enjoying mountain living immediately. A list of seller-reserved items and exclusions will be provided upon request.
Home is currently served by a 2-bedroom septic permit. Four sleeping rooms are present in the home. Preliminary county approval for a 4-bedroom septic upgrade has been obtained; additional information available upon request.
Whether you're seeking a mountain homestead, family retreat, vacation property, income-producing opportunity, or private getaway, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of historic charm, usable acreage, creek frontage, mountain views, and future potential.
