Zoned Residential Agricultural, this property offers flexibility for a variety of uses while maintaining privacy, space, and a peaceful rural setting. Immaculately maintained, the home reflects pride of ownership throughout and is surrounded by natural beauty and mature landscaping. The grounds feature pear, peach, and Bradford pear trees, blueberry bushes, birch, maple, and pecan trees bordering the property, along with established rose bushes and azaleas--creating a private, park-like setting. Outdoor living is thoughtfully designed with a welcoming front porch--perfect for family gatherings--and a peaceful back porch ideal for enjoying your morning coffee. A large attached 2 car garage, additional wired shop, detached carport with space for two vehicles, and a separate shed provide ample room for storage, hobbies, or equipment. Inside, enjoy flexible comfort with the option to heat using a wood-burning stove or a brand new gas pack system. Solid brick construction adds durability and timeless appeal. Enjoy the serenity of country living while remaining conveniently located--approximately 25-30 minutes to Wilmington International Airport (ILM) and historic downtown Wilmington, 40-50 minutes to area beaches, and roughly 1.5-2 hours to Raleigh. The area continues to see steady growth with major employers and distribution centers, including Amazon and other logistics and manufacturing operations expanding throughout the greater Wilmington region. Just minutes from the Black River--accessible by boat and home to some of the oldest living trees in the world, including the ancient bald cypress known as ''Methuselah,'' estimated to be over 2,000 years old. Currie offers small-town charm and rich history, including nearby Moores Creek National Battlefield and the annual North Carolina Blueberry Festival. Located in a non-hazardous flood zone for added peace of mind. A rare opportunity to own a meticulously cared-for home with acreage, versatility, and a true sense of place.
