About this home
This property at 273 Farmdale Dr offers the rare "best of both worlds" scenario: a private, sprawling retreat that feels miles away from civilization, yet is located just minutes from the heart of town. Situated at the end of a quiet road on 1.78 acres, this split-level gem is a sanctuary for those who value privacy, nature, and smart upgrades.The Great Outdoors: Step outside into your own personal park. The multi-level backyard is designed for distinct experiences: The Upper Tier: Currently home to a goat pen (which can stay for your hobby farm dreams or be removed for a clean slate). The Middle Tier: Perfectly leveled and ready for the installation of a sparkling pool. The Lower Tier: A dedicated fire-pit zone, ideal for crisp autumn nights or summer hot dog roasts. Nature’s Bounty: Enjoy fresh harvests from your own muscadine vines while watching the local wildlife that frequently visits this tucked-away acreage. Modern Comfort & Efficiency: Inside, the home has been meticulously maintained with an eye on sustainability and peace of mind: Chef-Ready Kitchen: Features a matching suite of stainless steel appliances. Energy Savings: The windows are professionally tinted to deflect heat, and extra blown-in insulation was added to the attic to keep utility bills low year-round. Recent Upgrades: The roof is only 2 years old, and the expansive deck was replaced just last year, providing the perfect spot for morning coffee. Turn-Key Infrastructure: The septic was pumped in 2024, and the security system is negotiable to stay with the home. Versatile Living: The split-level layout offers incredible flexibility. The lower level is a true "choose your own adventure" space—use it as a massive primary suite for ultimate seclusion, or transform it into a spacious second living room or media den. Agent Note: It’s rare to find nearly two acres this close to town that offers this level of privacy. With the major maintenance (roof, deck, septic) already handled, your buyer can spend their time enjoying the muscadines and the mountain-vibe backyard.
