Property Description
Dreaming of a rural escape with space to breathe and room to build your vision? This unique country property just outside Whiteville includes two separate parcels—one with a nearly finished farmhouse, and the other with a separate building that once served as a storefront. Whether you're planning a home business, farm stand, second home, or creative space—this gives you the freedom to do it your way.
The main home is a work in progress—but most of the tough stuff is already done. It has a new roof, siding, wiring, and the HVAC was serviced in 2023. New flooring is in, and the walls have a fresh coat of paint. According to the seller, all wiring for light fixtures is in place, and some materials for fixtures and switches are onsite and will convey with the sale. Kitchen cabinets are partially installed and just need to be finished. The kitchen sink is included and ready to be hooked up—plumbing is already in place. In the bathroom, the ceiling is mostly complete, toilets are hooked up and working, and only two sheets of drywall are needed to finish it out.
You're stepping into a project that's already well along, with solid work done and just the fun part left to make it yours. Hand-drawn plans are still on the walls, showing the original layout—follow them or create your own vision.
Step outside and enjoy open farm views and total privacy—no city limits, no restrictions, and no close neighbors. You've got space, freedom, and quiet all around you.
The second building on its own parcel brings even more options. Thought to be a former country store, it's ready for your ideas—turn it into a farm stand, studio, guest spot, workshop, or even a second home.
If you've been searching for a place to live, work, and create your dream, this is your blank slate. Sold as-is, but packed with charm, updates, and wide-open potential.
