Property Description

Country living on the Georgia line off Spur 60, with seasonal mountain views, a pond, and a short drive to Blue Ridge, Murphy, and the rest of the mountains. The house is built for gathering. An open style kitchen with large island, opens into a sitting room with a stacked-rock fireplace, and the living room has both a woodstove and a gas heater. There is also a large additional living room, plus a guest suite for overnight company. The primary suite and laundry are on the main floor, with a formal dining room, additional guest bathroom and loft rooms giving you extra space for visitors or an office. A covered porch runs the length of the front, with a covered, screened deck out back. The land is currently 8.89 acres and is private enough for trails and everyday country use and it is unrestricted, so horses and chickens are welcome. A garage, workshop, and woodshed are already here, along with 50-amp service for an RV. Additional septic systems on the property make it realistic to add homes later, create a family compound, or keep a ready spot for a camper or two. At closing, roughly one acre will be surveyed off for a large newer doublewide that is on site. You can also choose the option to purchase that home and land with the property.
