This spacious 3,200 square foot custom home is available at just $150/sf—well below the market average! With less than $100K in additional finishes needed, you can create your dream modern farmhouse. If you're handy or up for some DIY, costs could be even lower. House still needs kitchen cabinets, closets, flooring, and additional partition walls to finalize your floorplan. Key Features: Expansive Space: Custom built home features soaring 12' ceilings, expansive windows, and was built as a high-performance home by a high-end custom builder. The space is almost move-in ready with essential infrastructure in place, including high-speed internet, city water, Trane HVAC, electricity, and plumbing. Two efficient wood-burning stoves and full-bay insulation that exceeds code requirements will add to your comfort. Washer and dryer and a full bath are already installed. Space is currently divided into 4 giant spaces (in addition to several enclosed porches, a separate mechanicals room, a master bathroom, and laundry) but your custom floorplan can easily accommodate 4 or more bedrooms with huge, energy efficient windows already in place, in addition to an enormous open-plan living/dining area and a custom kitchen. Additional Amenities: Enjoy the convenience of 20x30 pole barns for equipment storage and garage space. Hook up your RV while you finish the interior, which requires a built-in kitchen, flooring, interior paint, trim and any additional interior walls you desire to complete your personalized floorplan. Unrestricted Land: Spread across 5 acres of pristine, unrestricted, organic land, the property is perfect for those looking to embrace a sustainable lifestyle. With room for a small herd, a hillside orchard, and a massive garden, your mini farm also includes a year-round pond, a hardwood forest, and walk-in access to thousands of acres of the Cherokee National Forest. Ideal for additional business uses - from horse training and stabling, to farm-to-table dinners, homeschool adventure programs, and agritourism ventures.
