This former mountain farm is the perfect place to build a vacation home or a secluded year-round home. The 1920s era farmhouse has not been lived in many years and is likely a teardown. A small stream runs alongside of Will Wilson Road which divides the property. The approximately 15 +/- acres lay surprisingly well and are mostly usable. The approximately 2-acre tract located across the road from the house has a former home site with a source of water located nearby. The property also has saleable timber that could be harvested if desired. This listing offers numerous potential home sites throughout the property. The barn located on the west side of the property needs some roof repairs but is otherwise in good condition and has had electricity run to it. Several acres of pasture surround the barn and could easily be bush hogged to bring back into full use. The beautiful mountain town of Burnsville is 17 miles away. Burnsville features multiple restaurants, grills and even a popular brewery. If you love the outdoors, this property is the place for you. The pristine waters of Cane River are a short 5-minute drive away. Hunting, fishing, hiking and camping are in abundant supply without even leaving the county. If your dream is a quiet life away from the hustle and bustle, you need to see this property.
