The setting is blessed by all the natural elements that make Eastern NC such an ideal destination. The property totals over 5.4 glorious acres in size, as it's 2.54 acres is joined with adjoining Lot 18 - a 2.9 acre parcel (2538 Browns Creek Road) to create this unique two-homesite parcel estate!!.
