A Rare Eastern North Carolina Homestead Opportunity - 41± Acres & Historic Farmhouse Welcome to the Johnson Farm, a truly special property offering approximately 41 acres of farmland, history, and endless possibilities. Whether you're dreaming of a working mini-farm, a private homestead, or a spacious family estate, this remarkable property delivers the charm and character that is difficult to find. The acreage is being divided from a larger tract, with a new survey expected to be completed the week of June 10. Final acreage is subject to survey results. Much of the land is currently farmed, leased, and enrolled in the farm-use tax program. Buyers are encouraged to contact the Duplin County Tax Office regarding potential deferred tax benefits and eligibility requirements. The farmhouse has been lovingly held by the same family for more than 100 years--a rare legacy in today's market. Inside, you'll find generous room sizes, original trim and moldings, hardwood flooring, and the timeless character of a historic country home. The main level is fully livable. You can comfortably occupy the lower level while renovating or updating the upper level to suit your vision. Primary bedroom with en-suite bath downstairs is nice for adults - two additional bedrooms downstairs share a hall bath which also includes the laundry area. All appliances convey, including the washer, dryer, refrigerator, gas stove, and dishwasher. The home is served by two HVAC systems, one of which has been recently replaced. Outside, the property offers several useful outbuildings, including a barn, tool shed, and what is believed to be a historic ham house or salt shed. A portion of the roof ( back section) has recently been re-shingled, while the original rolled tin roof on the front preserves the farmhouse's authentic country character. The land extends to Taylors Creek, creating scenic views and natural beauty. Please note that a portion of the acreage near the creek lies within Flood Zone AE. Buyers should review available flood maps for additional information. If your fondest memories involve summers at your grandparents' farm, fresh vegetables from the garden, and the simple pleasures of country living, Johnson Farm may be exactly what you've been searching for. Land will not be split from farm home- will convey as one sale. The home is served by county water / septic for sewer and trash service would be the county drop off sites.
