This farm is currently being used as a nursery farm with over $100k of nursery products planted. The land is situated in the northern part of Burke county off of NC-181. Plenty of potential for this land use, i.e., Nursery Farm, Residential Compound, and Equine or Cattle Farm. Many other applications are allowed with this zoning code. There's a small branch of water that feeds a 5 +/- acre pond for watering livestock or for recreational enjoyment. There is an old Farm House and Barn on this property located by the address of 1848 Lonnie Shuffler Rd. The house is considered unhabitable now. However, it's possible it could be repaired. Outstanding mountain views on this property enhance the desirability for ownership. Located about 1.5 hours from Charlotte, 45 mins to Asheville, 10 mins to Lake James, and 45 mins to most NC Ski Lodges. Also, our quaint town of Morganton is growing with the new NC School of Math and Science, and the Fonta Flora State Trail System. Take a LOOK!.
