This 2BR, 1 BA home with almost 13 acres has so much potential for multiple uses. Plenty of room for horses or have your own mini-farm. This beautiful land with a meandering creek through it is mostly wooded but lots of cleared area as well. Possibly build your home from the hardwoods on the land or subdivide. New well in 2010. The home is being sold "AS IS" and is in need of repairs.
