A 1920’s home with great bones and mature landscaping located just over a mile from Downtown Boone and AppState. An appalcart stop is nearby which makes this property great for saving gas, for a student or investment property.
We have preliminary soil test from Land Resource Management to include possibly up to 40-50 bedrooms in area A and 60-80 bedrooms in Area B. This 16.2 acre farm is a very rare find with loads of commercial potential near the city limits of Boone. Only 1.3 miles to the Watauga County court house. This is the home place of the Ellis family who are long time Watauga county natives. It offers several out buildings and the home place on the east side of Hodges Gap road with 9.278 acres of land and across the road there are 6.9 beautiful acres of pasture land. City water is available on Hodges Gap road but not Sewer. Being offered as one large sale but will consider dividing with the right offer.
