This is an absolute jewel in the mountains. In the heart of the Matney community this farm house dates back to the 1800's and has been brought up to date with amazing results. A tributary of upper crab orchard creek runs thru the edge of the property for the livestock to drink from. A new 3 stall horse barn with a finished tack room attached makes this property stand out. The barn near the house offers a man cave that you will not believe with cable TV, a wood burner, and has a finished loft area for sleeping as well. The covered front porch on the house is asking you to come sit a while
