This is one of the most pristine properties that you can find. You have 4 acres with a farmhouse surrounded in the front with Big Laurel Creek (a stocked trout stream). Even though you are on the road with the surroundings you have complete privacy. The property also has a large tobacco barn with electricity and large loft with porch on the front and back. Even though listing shows 2 bedrooms, there are actually 3 (but due to the ingress on not counted). There is a large propane buckstove in the living room and bathroom has a step-in shower. New wood blinds in lower level. In 1999 a new 800 gal tank was put in for spring with all new lines for plumbing. 3' crawl space in dining room, living room & man cave. All new windows in '99. The bridge has 5 i-beams and concrete on both ends - resurfaced 3 yrs ago. Apple, Peach, Plum and Cherry trees. There is an additional 450 sq ft heating upstairs, but not counted due to ceiling height less than 7'. Wood floors on first floor. Deck outside kitchen door to sit and enjoy the creek (180 degree trout stream) Mud room entry. Seller lives in home and would like some notice to show. Listing agent will need to accompany.
