Buying Mountain Property

A Farm of Your Very Own in the North Carolina Mountains

Currently there seems to be a trend in purchasing small farms and acreage that has potential to be farmed. This type of property is an excellent investment right now with real estate prices at an all time low, particularly as food prices in grocery stores continue to skyrocket. Being able to grow your own food is a wonderful thing. Being able to teach your children and grandchildren how to grow a garden or plant a fruit tree is a wonderful gift to the next generation.

I just listed a beautiful little farm here very close to Boone, N.C. It has seven acres of level land, three streams and a five bedroom, one bath nineteenth century farmhouse. Built in 1865, the house needs work, but for the right people, it could be restored to its former glory and be a real showplace one day. Many years ago, the house was a rural post office. This property has been in the same family for many years and is on the market for the first time. There’s a lot of history here for the reasonable price of $169,000.

If you love the North Carolina Mountains, you need to see this property. Don’t hesitate to shoot me an email or give me a call anytime. I would be happy to show you this and any of the other great listings we have to offer.
