About this home

Time to live out those homestead dreams in this 1940s farmhouse nestled in the mountains of Bakersville. Easily accessible gravel drive and end-of-road privacy lead to 15 unrestricted acres. Farmhouse is banked by pastures and woodlands that run to the east and west ridges for privacy and protection. Nice flowing creek runs through the heart of the property, which once supported a small pond. Bring your horses, goats, and chickens! Multiple barns as well as detached art studio overlooking the creek and pastures. Farmhouse boasts wood floors and stainless steel appliances. Previous owner installed a heat pump in 2018 with propane backup and new septic system in 2017 per septic report. Spring-fed water system with UV filtration system installed. Master on main with 2 bonus rooms upstairs. Full unfinished basement provides plenty of storage. Copy and paste link for 360 Matterport tour: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=JXF9ggTS6L1&mls=1
