Welcome to 197 Mooney Drive - a TRUE farmhouse retreat nestled on 11 SERENE ACRES with no HOA bordered by two creeks that join to wrap around three sides of the property, approximately 1,643 ft of creek frontage. With 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this home offers space, charm, and self-sufficiency in a super private setting with no HOA to worry about. The main level features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a beautifully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, farmhouse sink, gas stove, hood, and open shelving. Hardwood floors flow throughout, and the cozy living room showcases a stacked stone fireplace with spotlighting and a wood stove. The master suite-added in 1980-boasts a walk-in closet, real wood-burning fireplace, and a recently remodeled en suite bath with tile shower, dual sinks, and a standalone tub. Upstairs includes two additional bedrooms, including a large bedroom with dual closets, a loft-style movie/office area, and a closed-in loft without a closet. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch or screened porch off the kitchen, and take in the peaceful sounds of the creek from your landscaped, flat yard. The property includes multiple outbuildings: a storage shed (~15x15), wood shed with firepit, chicken coop, garden space by the creek, and a pole barn perfect for RV or vehicle parking. You'll find 20 blueberry bushes, 3 apple trees, 2 peach trees, and a muscadine vine ready for harvest. Additional highlights: central heat and air on the main level, wood siding, metal roof (approx. 10 years old), propane hot water heater (2 years old), fresh gravel on the driveway, recent septic pumping (2025), and ETC high-speed internet already brought in. The private easement road serves only two other neighbors, and power is already extended along the road-ideal for future building. With three potential homesites, a blend of 2/3 wooded and 1/3 cleared land, and true creekside tranquility, this is a rare opportunity to own a fully livable homestead just 23 minutes from town for all your dining and entertainment needs, close to many Apple Orchards, Vineyards and more! Would make the perfect AIRBNB vacation rental, part time living, or full time home! You do NOT want to miss out on this one!
