Land with Home for Sale in Piney Creek, North Carolina

Step back in time and enjoy the simple pleasures of country living! This 1922 farmhouse sits on 50 beautiful acres of fenced land with a mix of open pasture and peaceful woods -- the kind of place where you can breathe deep, stretch out, and watch the seasons change. About 11.5 acres of pasture are ready for your horses, cows, or goats, with a stream meandering through the bottom. The remaining 38.5 acres are wooded, full of wildlife like deer, turkey, and the occasional bear. There are marketable hardwoods and white pines, plus a network of old hiking and 4-wheeler trails that wind through the trees. The property has four old barns (great for hay or equipment storage), an old chicken coop, and a newer 4-stall horse barn that's the heart of the place. One side of the barn features four roomy stalls and a separate tack room, while the other side offers 716 sq. ft. of finished rustic-style space complete with a bar area -- perfect for hosting friends or setting up a cozy game room. Upstairs, you'll find another 612 sq. ft. that could make a great bunk space, home office, or creative studio. Step right outside to a fire pit area, ready for evenings under the stars. A small pond, stocked with bass, catfish, and bluegill, adds to the charm and provides a quiet spot to relax. The farmhouse is cozy and full of character, offering plenty of space without losing its old-fashioned feel. The main level includes a comfortable living area, open kitchen and dining, full bath, primary bedroom, and laundry. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and abundant storage space. A wrap-around porch on two sides invites you to sit a while and listen to the quiet -- maybe with a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of sweet tea at sunset. There's also a spring house with running water, a reminder of how folks used to live when life was simpler and slower, and a 550-gallon underground storage tank with pump to help ensure you'll never run short -- a real bonus for peaceful country living. You'll feel miles away from it all, yet you're only 15 miles from Sparta, 16 miles from Jefferson, and 42 miles from Boone. If you enjoy kayaking and/or fishing, public access to the New River is just 2.5 miles away at New River State Park - Kings Creek Access. For expanded hiking and horseback riding, Grayson Highlands State Park is only 22 miles away and offers some of the most beautiful mountain trails around. Whether you're dreaming of raising animals, gardening, riding horses, or just soaking in the peace and quiet of country living, this property feels like home the moment you arrive.
