The adage "location, location, location" is the honest truth for this fixer upper. Nested in highly sought after Burningtown, the land boarders Burningtown Creek with the house sitting across the road. The creek is bold, pristine and stocked with trout and home to an amazing diversity of wildlife including including herons, bald eagles, ducks, otters, reptiles and amphibians. This is nature in the raw. Stunning valley views can be seen from any direction of the property which boarders rolling hills with quintessential views of old rural America complete with old barns and cattle grazing. Deer and turkey are a staple in plain view along Lower Burningtown Rd. The Little Tennessee River is a short 5 miles down the road for unbelievable recreation. The house was built in approximately 1997 and the old logs in the living room area and stairwell were deconstructed from a previous home and refurbished and built into this home. Wood destroying insects have caused considerable damage to some areas under the house. There are also obvious foundation issues as well. If fixing up homes is your thing or thinking of a tear down and rebuild in that perfect setting this is the property!
