Investor Bungalow on 1.52± Acres — North Wilkesboro Opportunity
This modest 1959 bungalow offers a rare combination: a low entry price and a generous private lot — perfect for an investor, a hobbyist looking for land, or a buyer who wants affordable single-story living with room to expand. At 1,105 square feet, the home features one bedroom and one bath and sits on approximately 1.52 acres (66,211 sqft) of mostly level land. The interior is priced and staged for a buyer prepared to update: visible in the listing is a bedroom noted without a closet and interior finishes that reflect the home’s age. With targeted repairs — add a closet, refresh flooring and paint, and address mechanical items if needed — you can substantially increase value.
Outside, the lot is the standout feature. The deep yard gives you space for an accessory building, garden beds, parking, or simply wide separation from neighbors. The property fronts a low-traffic, county-maintained road and feels distinctly rural while remaining within reasonable driving distance of North Wilkesboro’s shops and services.
Listed at $65,000, this property is being marketed to investors and value-minded buyers. The Redfin AVM is higher than list price, indicating possible upside for buyers who can execute a cost-effective rehab. The home is a straightforward candidate for light-to-moderate renovation and either resale or rental. Buyer agents: note the listing agent cannot represent buyers — bring your own representation.
Schedule a showing to walk the land and scope repairs. This is a pragmatic opportunity to acquire acreage and a livable structure at a price point uncommon in the region — ideal for investors who know the local contractor network or owner-occupants planning phased improvements.

A factual market snapshot around Suncrest Sunset Connection Rd.
This parcel sits on the rural edge of North Wilkesboro where inventory skews toward older, lower-priced single-family homes and small acreage parcels. Wilkes County typically trades below nearby metros, with median single-family prices roughly in the low-to-mid $100ks to low $200ks depending on location and condition.
