Welcome to this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick home nestled on 10 peaceful acres. Offering great bones and plenty of potential, this home is ready for your personal touch and updates. Inside, you'll find a cozy living room with a classic brick fireplace and a spacious sunroom perfect for relaxing or enjoying views of the property. Outside, the land features a beautiful mix of partially cleared space and lush grass, along with fruit trees and established muscadine vines. A workshop provides room for storage or projects, while the well house is large enough to serve as a gardening shed. A metal open carport, set away from the home, adds extra convenience.

Agricultural District
The A-Agricultural District is composed of areas presently having a rural character and devoted primarily to farm operations within Newton County, including the raising of soil crops, livestock, fish, fowl, and commercial timber. Such areas are outlined in the Newton County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Intensive development of land is unlikely to occur in the near future and is discouraged in these areas. For this reason, only minimum restrictions are imposed upon agricultural uses within this district
