What's special
Private cabin with sturdy barn and 31+ wooded acres, located 20 minutes from Boone and Banner Elk! A family property for more than 45 years. Easy access off publicly maintained roads. Unrestricted! The home and barn can be separated from the remaining 30 acres, as the acreage has its own roughed in road through the property and is accessed 200-300 feet beyond the home on state maintained Spice Creek Road. Now priced $51,000 BELOW a September 2024 Certified Appraisal. No homeowners Association and low County property taxes. Sold furnished with the exception of a few personal items (clothing, kids toys and artwork). Home elevation is 3,540 feet. A neighbor's driveway along Spice Creek Road encroaches on a small area of the property, well away from the home, barn and additional acreage. The seller is working to clear up the encroachment. There is a loft area of 279 square feet not counted in the home's square footage or in number of bedrooms because of low ceiling height. Beds are set up in the loft on each side of the staircase. Skyline offers phone and internet to the home through its underground fiber optic lines, and has partnered with Direct TV to provide television over the same lines. No septic records located.
