Major renovation project, but just imagine all you'll have when it's done! 20 acres, a fish pond, fenced garden spot that gets plenty of light, and a nice stream just out back. There are several barns and outbuildings that could perhaps be restored, or salvaged for materials. Mix of woods and field, the property has great potential for a hobby farm, and it's only about half an hour from downtown Boone! Two rooms upstairs used as bedrooms, but ceilings are only 6'6", so the space isn't counted in the total square footage. A new well is needed, and a permit has already been acquired. A new survey has also just been completed. Will probably require septic repair or new septic system. The sellers live off the mountain, and are unwilling to do repairs.
