Property Description
Looking for a country project with soul, space, and serious farm-life vibes? This unique rural property just outside Whiteville includes two parcels: one with a nearly-finished home, and the other with an old storefront-style building full of potential. Whether you're dreaming of a live-in renovation, a home business, a farm stand, or a second residence—this setup gives you the freedom to make it happen.
The main home is unfinished—but a ton of the heavy lifting has already been done. Major updates include new flooring, siding, roofing, wiring, and fresh paint. It's easy to see the vision here: the wiring is already in place for recessed lighting, and hand-drawn plans are still on the walls showing exactly where everything was meant to go. You're stepping into a home mid-renovation, with the hard work done and the creative part ready for you.
Unopened building materials, including cabinets and other fixtures, are already onsite—ready for someone with vision to finish the kitchen and put their personal stamp on the rest. Finish it how you want. This home could be absolutely stunning when it's done.
Step out back and you'll find private views straight into peaceful farmland. Total tranquility, with no neighbors breathing down your neck. No city limits. No restrictions. Do whatever you want here.
And don't overlook the second building on the separate parcel—an old structure with good bones, believed to be a former storefront. It's begging to be transformed into a farm stand, studio, guest house, or business space. Live in the main house and run something special right next door.
If you're someone who dreams of living in your project, finishing things your way, and embracing true country life—this is your blank canvas.
Yes, it needs finishing. But darn, when it's done? It's going to be absolutely gorgeous. Sold as-is.
