2302B Us Highway 17n, Merry Hill, NC 27957

For sale, 55 acre farm located app 10 miles from Edenton NC. App 20 acres clear. Boarders hwy 17 and Salmon Creek. Salmon creek is a deep water creek that empties into the Albemarle Sound next to Scotch Hall Preserve (Arnold Palmer Goff course). The main structure of the house was built in the 1700 with large heartwood timbers and wooden pegs. Two chimneys with 4 fireplaces, 2 working and 2 cover up. The house was totally renovated in 1980. All new wiring and copper plumbing. Structurally sound but will need some cosmetic work such as roof paint and the aluminum siding is faded. However the wood siding under the alum is in good shape. Originally the dining room was a kitchen situated away from the house. Later years it was moved to a join the house and the living room was added. Beautiful original hardwood floors. In the middle of the property is a body of water we call the Mill Pond. Years ago there was a grist mill on this spot where the locals came to get their corn milled. This area is well suited for generating elcticity which is something I hand planned to do but never got around to it. There are several buildings. One is a cute little house where the Mill keeper stayed (needs some work). The other buildings were built in the late seventies. The property is a perfect place to make a self contained homestead. Lots of possibilities. May consider selling house and a few acres for $475,000 Note: Google map shows this proper app 2 miles north of actual location.
