The property is an ample 1.3 acres, with a surprise at every turn and plenty of space for everyone to find a favorite spot. At the circle driveway, the LOG CABIN HOME has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; a loft space with drawbridge door; a sunroom in front; and a covered porch off of the kitchen. The CARRIAGE HOUSE / garage apartment offers additional space with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, along with its own kitchen; living room; laundry; and 2 porches. (Alternate uses for this space could be office; homeschool classroom; or rental income.) CARPORT provides covered parking and storage for vehicles and equipment, while the parking pad offers even more space to store a boat or RV. WORKSHOP / storage building is wired. The property is lush with hardwood trees and native plants including azaleas, camellias, dogwoods, magnolias, blueberry bushes, strawberries, and muscadine vines. Full organic, garden beds; chicken coop ready to welcome new feathered friends. The property has well water, and the cabin and carriage house both benefit from a water filtration system. Enjoy this beautiful homestead just as it is -- or convert to off-grid living, install a pool; build a custom home; or renovate the cabin. There appears to be opportunity on the land for an additional homesite. The property has the option to tie into public sewer with a reserved sewer access easement. Whatever you decide, come visit, and stay awhile... Welcome home!
