The cozy 1-bedroom, (no closet) 1-bath cabin features an eat-in kitchen with ample cabinetry, appliances replaced in 2020, and an open-concept living area. In the summer of 2026, the seller completed several valuable improvements, including new electrical service with a 200-amp meter base and whole-house surge protection, installed new water line, removed popcorn ceilings and applied fresh paint throughout the ceilings. From the living room, step onto the covered front porch to enjoy tranquil pond views, abundant wildlife, and hours of peaceful outdoor living. The spring-fed pond is stocked with a variety of fish, making it a favorite spot for anglers and nature enthusiasts alike. An old barn offers endless possibilities, restore it for storage, a workshop, or hobby space, or reclaim the barn wood for future projects. The property is served by a shared well with the neighboring 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, which is also available for purchase (see MLS #4379535). Purchase both properties to create a private family compound or expand your investment portfolio with two rental opportunities. Conveniently located less than an hour from three major airports, the property is just minutes from downtown Columbus for shopping, dining, and easy access to I-26 and US-74.

This charming 1950s hobby farm is nestled on 2.80 acres in Polk County, NC and offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and convenient access to town and major highways. Perched atop a gentle hill, this 1,031 sf farmhouse enjoys year-round mountain views, while overlooking a picturesque horse farm. The classic wraparound porch invites you to sit a spell and enjoy the quiet surroundings before stepping inside this cozy home! The living room is complete with warm cedar paneling and a propane glass-rocks fireplace. From there, the home flows easily into the updated kitchen and dining area or toward the 2 small bedrooms, both bedrooms maintaining the home’s original charm (without built-in closets). Previous owner used one room as a bedroom and the other as a large walk-in closet. A number of home improvements have been completed since 2020 to enhanced the home while preserving its vintage character. Additional features include a wood-burning stove in the unfinished basement/crawlspace area, newer garage doors with remote controls, fenced yard around the house, transferable CPI security system, and attic storage space. The land has long been enjoyed for farming and homesteading, with a ready-to-use garden area, mature blueberry and blackberry bushes, fig trees, roses, and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. Multiple outbuildings, storage sheds, animal shelters, an attached 2-car garage, and a 2-car carport make this property ideal for hobby farming, gardening, or simply embracing a slower pace of life. This property currently shares a well and generator with the cabin behind the house, (owned by same seller). That property will soon be marketed separately, and so the seller is in the process of getting a new power meter placed at the adjoining cabin, but intends to convey both with the shared well. Whether you’re dreaming of a hobby farm, mini homestead, mountain retreat, or quiet country getaway, this special property offers timeless charm in the beautiful foothills of western North Carolina. Shown by appointment only! Selling As-Is. PLEASE...DO NOT WALK AROUND THE PROPERTY WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT AND DO NOT GO DOWN TO THE CABIN PROPERTY THAT'S FOR SALE BEHIND THIS PROPERTY WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT PROPERTY, (See MLS #4379539). Purchase both properties to create a private family compound or expand your investment portfolio with two rental opportunities.

Offering beautiful and level usability that is increasingly difficult to find in this area! The existing home is functional and could potentially be lived in immediately.

Seller is actively continuing cleanup, landscaping, and exterior improvements during the Coming Soon period. The property is expected to continue evolving as work progresses. That said, the true value here is in the land itself: beautiful, MATURE woods that remained largely untouched, USABLE topography, EXCEPTIONAL location, and the long-term potential this property offers.
