A gate and a long gravel driveway leads you to this impressive southern farm. Here you are free to RAISE A COCKLE-DOODLE-DOO AND PLANT A GARDEN TOO! Many of the original buildings are intact, and some of them need some TLC. The main property comes with 3 homes, a quaint barn, 2 storage buildings, 2 small log structures, and 22. 2 acres, all for only $750,000. The main home has wood siding, 7 fireplaces and a rocking chair covered front porch. It has a security system, some 9′ + ceilings, and disappearing attic stairs. The 2 story building behind the home would make an ideal at home office or a hobby room and the 2nd level could be used for storage, a hobby room or an art studio. Above the building are solar panels that are used to aid in the heating for the main home. The property has not been surveyed recently to get an exact figure on the amount of pasture in the front, but we estimate that it is between 10 and 12 acres that could be fenced for horses. An additional 53.65 acres is available separately for $360,000. This could make an amazing horse farm, and with this many acres that are available for sale, anything is possible! It also offers easy access to I-26 and the Tryon International Equestrian Center!
The front porch is covered and is conducive to long hours in a rocking chair sipping sweet tea and over-looking the front pasture.
When you enter this home, it is evident that if the walls could talk, oh the tales they could share! Can you imagine how life has changed since this home was constructed 214 YEARS AGO?

The walls are wood as is the ceiling, and it is vaulted. The cabinets are pine, the counter top is tile and the floor is a combination of the original old brick and wood. It has a reach in pantry and a separate room for a boiler. In this room, if you finish the walls and ceiling, it could easily be used as an additional large walk-in pantry.
The side entrance doubles as a cozy tv room or den. It would be a perfect spot to create a large mudroom with built-ins with seating, cubby holes for boots and coat hooks.
