Tucked in the quiet Paint Fork area just minutes from Mars Hill, this idyllic farmhouse on 1.7 acres is an excellent investment opportunity. Use as short or long term rental, mini farmstead, or as a full time residence. Don't let the small sq footage fool you! Kitchen and bedroom have sloping ceilings under 7' for an additional heated 363 sq ft. Metal roof, newer front porch made of durable composite material, and an updated kitchen combined with a hand-built rock fireplace, rustic wood floors, quietude, and mountain setting, makes for low maintenance living while conjuring warm nostalgia of simpler times. Kitchen/dining area features locally harvested and milled wood floors and trim. Across the street you'll find fertile soil for a large garden, and plenty of space for small livestock. This is peaceful rural living at its finest. Confirm fiber optic available through French Broad EMC.
