This charming 1917 farmhouse on an almost 7.5 acre mini farm, nestled in the serene and secluded Thompson Valley, is a hidden gem awaiting restoration. With 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, this one story fixer upper is brimming with potential for those with a creative vision and desire to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of country living in rural Virginia. Located between majestic mountain ridges in the Appalachian Mountains, this property boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape from the front porch. Below the front of the house is a large level meadow that can be cleared for gardening or livestock. Amazing views and quick access to the Back of the Dragon, the only designated motorcycle route in Virginia, makes it a fantastic spot for adventure seekers, riding enthusiasts, or nature lovers looking to enjoy the beautiful views along the 32-mile, 438-curve scenic winding road. The land, once part of a thriving tobacco farm, is now a peaceful haven, overgrown with wild grasses and trees, yet the property still offers plenty of potential. According to the seller there are many locust trees, a black walnut tree, and a large cherry tree on the property. The old tobacco barn adds rustic appeal and could serve as storage, a workshop, or a space for your farm needs. There is also a metal shed with a wood floor. An old rock cellar is built into the landscape. In addition to a well, there are also rights to a spring on an adjacent property, offering water access for future development or farm use (buyer to verify and arrange piped access.) Whether you're an investor seeking a project, an aspiring homesteader envisioning growing a vibrant farmstead, or someone looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, this property, although requiring some tender loving care, offers endless possibilities.. Bring this rustic farmhouse back to life all while enjoying one of Tazewell County's most desirable rural locations.
