Rustic Mountain Homestead Renovation Opportunity! WORK IN PROGRESS. New Roof December 2025. Bring your vision—this property has the bones and setting to become something truly special. It is the definition of a work in progress and is being SOLD AS-IS. Joists/flooring/siding all needs to be replaced, many structural things in progress. We have put a lot of elbow-grease in it and much more will be required. The house requires construction, renovation, finishing and repairs. Private, wooded setting with a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path feel. Two story layout with upper living space/potential master bedroom that could easily be renovated with high ceilings. Dedicated balcony to potential master bedroom. There are two chimneys and potential for a woodstove (or central or baseboard or radiant, you could add anything at this point). This unique rustic mountain home offers a rare opportunity to create your own Appalachian retreat. With its expansive covered porch and beautiful natural setting, this property is full of character and ready for someone to bring it to life. Lot is between 0.79 and 0.89 acres, depending on who you ask. It is our understanding that the property was lived in until sometime in 2022 and it was in even rougher shape when we bought it. Now it has been mostly gutted. If you’ve been looking for a project with personality in a beautiful mountain setting, this is your chance to create something one-of-a-kind. Ideally, this would become someone’s primary home, not another investment property. That was our plan for it, but life has gone another direction. If you are interested and live nearby, please let us know. Cash or renovation financing will be required. Home will not qualify for a conventional mortgage. Potential for owner financing under the right conditions with a 5-year loan period. On county maps, there is an outline of a small yellow section that likely overlaps with the neighboring deed (see picture). That tiny sliver has to convey differently, via a paragraph with non-warranty language. It is a small sliver (looks like from paperwork about 0.04 acres) and should not affect enjoyment or use of the house. Again, property is being sold as-is.
