About This Home
This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom single family at 620 Smith Waldrop Road in Columbus, NC is listed for $249,999 ($242 per sqft). Built in 1950, the home offers 1,031 sqft of living space on a 2.80 acres lot.
This charming 1950s hobby farm is nestled on 2.80 acres in Polk County, NC and offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and convenient access to town and major highways. Perched atop a gentle hill, this 1,031 sf farmhouse enjoys year-round mountain views, while overlooking a picturesque horse farm.
The classic wraparound porch invites you to sit a spell and enjoy the quiet surroundings before stepping inside this cozy home! The living room is complete with warm cedar paneling and a propane glass-rocks fireplace. From there, the home flows easily into the updated kitchen and dining area or toward the 2 small bedrooms, both bedrooms maintaining the home's original charm (without built-in closets).
Previous owner used one room as a bedroom and the other as a large walk-in closet. A number of home improvements have been completed since 2020 to enhanced the home while preserving its vintage character. Additional features include a wood-burning stove in the unfinished basement/crawlspace area, newer garage doors with remote controls, fenced yard around the house, transferable CPI security system, and attic storage space.
The land has long been enjoyed for farming and homesteading, with a ready-to-use garden area, mature blueberry and blackberry bushes, fig trees, roses, and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. Multiple outbuildings, storage sheds, animal shelters, an attached 2-car garage, and a 2-car carport make this property ideal for hobby farming, gardening, or simply embracing a slower pace of life.
This property currently shares a well and generator with the cabin behind the house, (owned by same seller). That property will soon be marketed separately, and so the seller is in the process of getting a new power meter placed at the adjoining cabin, but intends to convey both with the shared well.
Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, mini homestead, mountain retreat, or quiet country getaway, this special property offers timeless charm in the beautiful foothills of western North Carolina. Shown by appointment only! PLEASE...DO NOT GO DOWN TO THE CABIN BEHIND THIS HOUSE...IT IS NOT PART OF THIS SALE!
