Calling all investors, remodelers, or anyone not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get to work, this could be the perfect fixer upper! 1940's Cottage on 12.74 beautiful unrestricted acres bordered by USFS with 5 additional buildable lots! A beautiful rushing creek across the road that you can hear and see from the property. Private, yet convenient to both Sylva and Franklin. Master on main, one bathroom, laundry/pantry room, and two bedrooms in the finished attic. Large out building on rear of property. Water source is a spring fed well. The land also offers building sites above the existing home which have already been mostly cleared with a road access to all the lots. This road needs grading and is currently 4wheel drive accessible only. Potential for great mountain views with some tree clearing. One of the clearings above the house has a shed. This property is a must see with easy access off Pumpkintown road. Possibilities are endless! BEING SOLD AS IS. Heat source is currently a propane gas line running to a fireplace in living room and is hooked to a ventless gas heater. Fireplace can be converted to gas log or wood burning.
