This hidden Shelby Forest gem is ready for its next chapter! This lovely cabin owned by just one family needs a little grit and vision to be brought back to its full charm and potential. On over 7 wooded acres, this cozy farmhouse will win you over with its stone fireplace, soaring ceilings, open living spaces, extra rooms, huge (42'x18') attached garage (easily repurposed in various ways), large (25'x45') workshop, front and back porches, and custom millwork. The lot is large enough for you to add a walking trail in the woods among other uses. This quiet spot provides country living at its best. With easy access to Hwy 51, you can get to the amenities in both Millington & Memphis & have plenty of space for privacy. County taxes only. Property being sold in AS-IS condition, but it is priced with room in the budget for updates/repairs to stay in line with comps for the area. HVAC currently inoperable.
