Description
Offered for the first time in over a century, this multi-generational farmhouse sits on a piece of Clay County history. Serving as a camp for more than 100 years, the property offers a rare mix of heritage, utility, and location. The home features a wood and coal stove, a hand-dug well, and a canning cellar—practical, time-tested elements still in working order. A covered porch wraps two sides of the house, offering shelter and a view of the land’s natural beauty. An additional feature for this property is Mineral Rights are included as well! The seasonal creek, mature chestnut trees, and surrounding hills have supported decades of successful whitetail and turkey hunting. Multiple outbuildings include an old blacksmith shop, a corn crib, and additional structures ready for restoration or repurposing. This is not just a property; it's a piece of early Appalachian life preserved. Located just 2.8 miles from the Elk River and 12.9 miles from the Wallback Wildlife Management Area, the property is well-positioned for fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation. Whether you're looking for a rustic retreat, hunting base, or land to restore and preserve, this farmstead offers unmatched potential rooted in deep history and tradition. Property to be bought AS-IS as this property has served as a hunting cabin and not a full time residence.
