Tucked just south of Rocky Mount, this 1920 farmhouse isn’t pretending to be anything it’s not. The floors are worn, the systems are dated, and “as‑is” really does mean as‑is. But the bones are big: roughly 2,056 square feet, four bedrooms, porches on two levels, basement storage, and a creek cutting through 4.28 mostly cleared acres. It’s the kind of place where you can hear your own thoughts—and then decide what to build from them.
For someone who craves country quiet but still needs town within reach, the setting is the real hook. Space for gardens, animals, workshops, or a second structure across two tax parcels opens doors that suburban lots never will. With gas heat, well water, potential Starlink access, and parking for seven vehicles, the essentials are there. What’s missing is vision, sweat, and a plan. In the right hands, this tired homestead could become a deeply personal success story.
