Renovated 1937 Craftsman-Style Farmhouse

This historic 2-bedroom farmhouse is a true architectural gem, featuring original 1937 Bogalusa oak flooring, heart pine upstairs, and large farmhouse windows that fill the space with natural light. Original beadboard porch ceilings painted in classic haint-blue and solid wood doors speak to its timeless Southern roots, while tasteful updates throughout ensure modern efficiency. The kitchen boasts new stainless steel appliances (2024), a new tankless water heater, and a 200-amp electrical system. New dual-zone heat pumps and a metal roof (2023) provide long-term value and peace of mind. A renovated laundry room and updated bath add to the home’s comfort and everyday convenience.

Scenic Land & Outdoor Features

The land itself is a dream – rolling pastures, wooded pockets, and a large, spring-fed pond stocked with bass, catfish, sunfish, and more. The fields once used to raise Gelbvieh and Angus cattle lead you to the nearby Hyco River, which opens the door to fishing, kayaking, and camping adventures on Kerr Lake. The fields and woods also offer ideal habitat for deer, turkey, and upland game hunting.

Functional Farmstead & Historic Outbuildings

Multiple outbuildings support a working farm operation or hobby farm lifestyle, including barns, equipment sheds, and a sawmill used until recently to process lumber from the farm itself. This working infrastructure, along with fertile soils and established pastureland, provides an excellent foundation for livestock, gardening, or sustainable farming.

Prime Location with Access to Recreation & Culture

Located just over an hour from Raleigh, NC and equidistant from Clarksville and South Boston, VA, the farm combines privacy with proximity. You’ll find boat launches for Kerr Lake within minutes, along with Occoneechee State Park and historic Buffalo Springs.
