Home on 16 acres in Wilkes County. Main house is on top of the house and is livable, but will need some TLC. Many buildings and sheds on the property. An abundance of wildlife has been seen on the property as well. Park is within 1 mile of property, as well as downtown shopping and dining. Do not enter any of the other structures on the property except the main home at the top of the hill, as they are not safe. You will need 4WD to access this property as the drive is rutted out, especially if there has been recent rain. Several video cameras on property for safety of owners and visitors. Do not attempt to view property without an appointment and accompanied by a real estate agent.
