Significant Price Adjustment – Motivated Seller! Welcome to your private 18.51-acre farmhouse retreat—an incredible opportunity to enjoy the best of country living while still being less than 15 minutes from downtown Hickory or Lincolnton. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home blends rustic charm with modern updates, offering flexibility for expansion, farming, recreation, or simply unwinding in complete privacy. As you approach from the 350-foot private driveway, you’ll immediately feel a sense of peace and seclusion. A clean, natural spring-fed stream runs through the property year-round, complete with a bridge already in place, adding both beauty and functionality. Deer, turkeys, and other wildlife frequent the property, creating a true nature lover’s paradise. The home itself was completely remodeled on the exterior in 2017 with James Hardie siding, Anderson windows, and a durable metal roof. Reinforced OSB construction and upgraded insulation ensure long-lasting efficiency and comfort. Step onto the oversized porch—an 850 sq. ft. sub-floored structure with treated 2x12 joists and tongue-and-groove decking—already designed for future expansion into additional living space. The current porch floor is composite decking for easy maintenance, and it’s the perfect place to relax in a swing while sipping sweet tea and enjoying west-facing sunsets. Home is equipped with a generator power inlet box to connect generator with manual transfer switch quickly and easily. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful features such as a master suite with Jacuzzi tub, two spacious bedrooms, and a finished 1,000 sq. ft. basement. From the basement, double doors open to a massive 42x55 ft. concrete pad—perfect for a basketball or tennis court, outdoor entertaining, or additional parking. Covered parking under the porch and bonus storage areas add even more convenience. The acreage is as impressive as the home. Over 18.5 acres of beautiful pastureland has been carefully groomed and seeded over the past three years, previously grazed by longhorn cattle. Heavy-duty woven wire fencing with telephone-pole corner bracing and guy-wire top and bottom strands ensures strength and durability for livestock or equestrian use. Unlike typical fencing, this system is designed to flex and “pop back” if a tree falls—built to last for decades with minimal maintenance. A 38x51 ft. pole barn, only 5 years old, offers tremendous versatility. Half of the barn is enclosed with nine kennel stalls (5.5x14 ft. each), complete with fans, rubber mat flooring, and easy-clean design. The open portion is rocked for mud-free functionality, with space for equipment, animals, or storage. Two chicken coops complete the barnyard setup—ideal for raising your own eggs. The property also features established fruit plantings, including grapes, blueberries, mulberries, pears, blackberries, figs, and raspberries—perfect for farm-to-table living. Enjoy strolls through your land, relax in the rock garden, or simply soak in the serene views that stretch across your 18.51 acres. This property is not just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Whether your dream is a private homestead, hobby farm, equestrian estate, or simply a retreat away from the bustle, this land and farmhouse are ready to make it a reality. And with South Mountain State Park nearby, offering hiking trails, waterfalls, and outdoor adventure, you’ll always have more to explore. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to own a beautifully updated farmhouse with nearly 20 acres of usable land, modern infrastructure, and endless potential. Basement has a non-permanent heat source that conveys with property.
