Unleash Your Imagination in Preston County! Nestled on 6.5 serene acres, this rare property offers the ultimate blend of historic charm, natural beauty, and modern infrastructure. The centerpiece is a historic circa-1900, two-bedroom cabin. Currently serviced by an outhouse (NO INDOOR BATH - the outhouse is the "bath" in the listing), this structure is a blank canvas. It is ready to be transformed into a modern home, luxury Airbnb, hunting lodge, wedding venue, or off-grid retreat. The property features many upgrades, including a new well, a registered septic system (condition unknown), electricity, a natural spring, and an expansive pond. Please note while these improvements are in place, the utilities should be independently verified by the buyer. Complementing the historic cabin is a massive 32x52 oversized detached building featuring an expansive storage loft. While currently serving as an exceptional garage and workshop, its impressive footprint and structural integrity offer an incredible foundation for a luxury barndominium-style residence in addition to the cabin. The location strikes a perfect balance, bordering vast, pristine forest acreage on one side for maximum privacy, while gently meeting a quiet residential area on the other. Whether you envision a stunning wedding venue, a private mountain estate, a recreational retreat, or a high-yield short-term rental catering to nearby tourism and military installations, this property is ready for its next chapter. The property is being sold as-is. Cash or construction/rehab buyers will find this property ideally suited to their purchasing goals. Schedule your tour today and explore the endless possibilities!
