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 unres tricted, 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.
