Asking for highest and best offer by Sunday 22nd @ 5pm. Welcome to 5407 Horse Branch Rd, a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded Southern retreat nestled on three parcels for approx. 9.11 acres in peaceful Willard, NC. This 3-bedroom, 3 full-bath home offers 2,562 sq ft of warm, inviting living space with hardwood, tile, and carpeted floors throughout.
