About this home

This hidden, hilltop retreat offers privacy in a rural setting with proximity to conveniences. 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!

Agricultural District

Land designated as agricultural constitutes a valuable natural resource whose protection is in the public interest. The agricultural district is established to maintain those areas with land characteristics such as soil moisture, temperature and content suitable for farming (fields, pastures, farmsteads, specialty farms), dairy, livestock, forestry operations and other agricultural activities; to protect land used or needed for food production and other agricultural uses from encroachment by untimely and unplanned residential, commercial or industrial development; and to permit the continuation of agricultural uses in areas where it remains viable.; The agricultural district is intended to provide for the continuation of agriculture as a viable land use and component of the local economy until market conditions and public services support conversion of agricultural land to rural or suburban residential land subdivisions and uses, or other uses. The agricultural district also helps to preserve the rural, open space character that exists in many portions of the county. Such areas are accessed only by rural roads, do not have existing public sanitary sewerage facilities, are predominantly rural in character, and consist substantially of larger unsubdivided and undeveloped tracts.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Equestrian facility
Greenhouse / nursery
Livestock production
Housing-Single unit
Office
Public service
Agriculture-Cropland
Cemetery
Housing-Mobile home park
