At the end of a winding, tree-lined drive in Mill Spring, this 1919 farmhouse sits on 11.61 acres of beautiful, usable land with open pasture, mature trees, privacy, and long-range mountain views. Renovated in 2010 with the character of the original farmhouse in mind, the home feels warm, simple, and true to its roots. Heart pine floors run throughout, while shiplap walls, a wood-mantled fireplace, and the wraparound porch carry that classic farmhouse feel from room to room. The land is what really sets this property apart. Mostly open and gently rolling, the acreage offers plenty of room for horses, a barn, gardens, or simply more space around you. A former homesite on the property takes in beautiful long-range mountain views and still has a well and septic in place, offering an incredible opportunity for a second residence or guest house. Mature trees surround the acreage, creating a natural buffer with no visible neighbors. Just minutes from TIEC, with shopping, dining, and easy access to Greenville, Asheville, and Charlotte, this charming farmhouse sits on truly special land in one of the prettiest corners of the Carolina Foothills.
