This is a unique find for someone who wants to own a piece of history. This home was originally built in 1857 as an overnight railroad stop on the long gone Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad. The main drive approaches the home from the rear, with the house originally built to face the railroad and the railroad depot building still located through the woods. Overlooking the railroad entrance and the old front porch are the original stained glass windows. This home also includes 2 additional porches that could easily be added to for that wrap around look. This renovation-ready home is approximately 3,200 sq ft, with 1250 sq ft of heated space. Over the years, wiring, windows, and plumbing have been updated to current specs along with other additions to the original structure. The property also features a move-in ready apartment with a newly updated kitchen, featuring granite countertops and stainless appliances. A new HVAC system is currently being installed to provide year-round comfort. This apartment living space is perfect for someone looking to reside on the property while renovating the original home. The property is made up of a total of 9.5 acres and falls under the 10 acre limit for some insurance companies to provide traditional homeowners insurance. Wild turkey, deer, and various other wildlife visit the property daily and provide the perfect backdrop for your morning coffee or a relaxing evening listening to the wildlife on the home's various porches. Recent summer storms resulted in one of the biggest oak trees on the property falling onto the main home and damaging part of the structure. This resulted in an insurance claim and a check for $63,000 that will be passed to the new owner to use at their discretion. This gives the new owner a huge step towards making this their dream country estate. Come see this home today and enjoy life at a slower pace.
