Property Description
This unique property in the Chatham School District is perfect for the buyer with vision and contracting skills. It sits on 5.78 mostly pastured acres.

The original home is a classic farmhouse layout with 3-4 bedrooms on the second floor.
The addition brings a funky 70's open-concept feel with cathedral ceilings, generous living room, southern pine wood floors, and a striking masonry stone fireplace that adds warmth and rustic charm.
With two separate heating systems, separate electric panels, and a south-facing roof ideal for solar, this place is ready for transformation.
