Check out this 22 ACRE FARM on BIG ROCK CREEK! It is all flat except for a short hill down to the water and sits at the base of ROAN MOUNTAIN! Look at those VIEWS! This place is a unicorn - you truly won't find another one like it! It has a sweet little farm house serving as a rental at the moment. It could make a great stepping stone to go ahead and start enjoying the property as you build, or continue to rent it and bring in a bit of income along the way. There are two other homes on the property as well. One is brick and was built in the 70's. It needs work to be habitable again but was once very nice and looks worth the effort to bring back. The other home is older but in a dreamy setting out in the middle of the fields, and has really cool unique accents to the exterior - not habitable either. There are also two barns and you'll see in some of the older spring pictures that this place is just begging to be farmed. It is a bit overgrown at the moment, but plans are in the works to have it cut back. The place has direct access on a state maintained paved road & cable/internet!

Location Information
Directions: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY and PLEASE TOUR WITH YOUR AGENT - Take 226N to a right onto Hughes Gap Rd. Drive 0.7 miles and then turn right onto Perkins Rd. 353 Perkins Dr is the second driveway on the right BUT please do not disturb the tenants! They a friendly but need to be respected and given plenty of notice. You'll access the farm and other two homes FURTHER down the road. This can be done without notice. SO...after turning onto Perkins Rd from Hughes Gap Rd you will drive 0.4 miles and turn right onto a small blacktop driveway. You'll see the sign. It cuts through the property at 159 Perkins Rd. Please be respectful of that neighbor as well. A sign is out at both driveways. Bring the place up on LandGlide or a similar app before going out so you know where you are on the property as you tour.
