The lot features a year-round stream and water tanks to help provide water to all of your animals, has many older outbuildings, trails cut through the farm for easy access and, numerous possible home sites if you choose to live in this home as you build new. Just across the street is Rock Creek, stocked with trout for fishing enthusiasts and sits on HWY 226 which will get you to Johson City, TN in about 45 minutes! The home is approximately 840 sf, has two small bedrooms and a galley kitchen. Bathroom in back has laundry hookups. The home needs some work but is salvageable.
