Step onto the covered porch of this lovingly maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage and you’ll immediately notice the care that’s gone into the property. The previous owners completed targeted, high-impact updates in 2021 — new roof, fresh siding, a modern water heater and a serviced HVAC — so the big-ticket items are mostly handled. Inside, the footprint is compact at 868 square feet, but the layout proves efficient: a cozy living room that opens to the kitchen and dining area where the seller’s kitchen table will remain, and two comfortable bedrooms flanking the main bath.
Outside is where the property truly expands: the home sits on just under 0.4 acres of level land with a long private driveway, a large outbuilding that’s ideal for workshop or storage, a dedicated chicken coop, and a fire pit area perfect for evening gatherings. The yard offers clear room to build an addition or create specialized outdoor spaces — gardens, a workshop, or play areas — without losing the quiet, rural character of the site. Because this parcel lies outside municipal boundaries, the listing notes no city taxes and no HOA obligations.
For buyers seeking a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home, this cottage is an appealing option. The structure’s recent upgrades significantly reduce immediate capital needs, and the generous lot provides long-term options for value-add. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizer, or small-scale investor, the combination of turnkey systems and usable land is a strong value proposition in the Mooresboro market.
Showings are by appointment — schedule early. The property is priced to move quickly and represents an efficient purchase if you value land, privacy, and a home that’s already been cared for. Confirm utilities and permitting needs during due diligence, then enjoy the quiet pace of country living with convenient access to Shelby and regional routes.
