Great opportunity for charm not seen today. 8.2 miles from downtown Hillsborough. Highest and best use would be to restore this 1922 Farmhouse to its original glory and create a working farm. 26 acre lot (824 Sawmill) is available as well. Upstairs bedrooms & sitting area are large & have wood stove spots. Original siding is in good shape for the most part - just needs to be scraped/painted. Looking for your labor of love? Working well on site. Cash or Conventional rehab/construction loan needed.

Really a fabulous opportunity here- house is livable & needs work but the good news is that this property could produce up to 12 lots with only administrative approval from county assuming environmental health approval for septic systems & some dedicated green space. Lots could pay for house or keep 35 acres together for a wonderful small farm & renovate the original 1922 home. Lots of potential & options with this property and just 9 miles from Hillsborough. This is an excellent buy-in price. Sold as is
