617 Merritt Rd
Description
Accessed via a tree-lined, deeded easement, this home offers exceptional privacy. Surrounded on all four sides by mature trees; you'll enjoy peace and quiet with no neighboring homes in view—except one at the end of the easement on Merritt Road. The land is a perfect balance of open and wooded space: about half is cleared and grassy, featuring a shed, a workshop and a barn, while the other half is lush woodland. The property also includes several fruit trees (cherry, peach and apple), and pecan and walnut trees. The parking area is crushed asphalt. The land is well-suited to beekeeping, small livestock, or gardening. Incidentally, the current owners do garden, and no pesticides have been used while they owned. Barn: 36x32, 3 sections: 10', 18', 11'. Convenience:
Located just 10 minutes from Whiteville and only 5 minutes from Chadbourn, you'll have quick access to shopping, dining, and goods and services while still enjoying the tranquility of country living. Don't miss your chance to own this special property—schedule your showing today to truly appreciate all it has to offer
