I love a property with a good creek! The log cabin needs work, but it could be nice as a little camp or a getaway place. The house was built in 1930. It is located on 12 acres in Martinsville, Virginia. Smith Mountain Lake boat launch is 20 minutes away. It is believed this was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. There is access to electricity and there was a soil test for septic. Two bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,346 square feet. $117,000

From the Zillow listing:
With all the uncertainty in the world, have you ever thought about homesteading? This twelve acre property has a spring-fed creek that runs year- round. It’s thirty minutes from the grocery store, and there’s access to electricity. The soil was recently tested for a septic system and passed with flying colors. A sol sample was sent to Virginia Tech and came back with rich fertile soil for gardening. There are several flat areas for gardening and orchards, with several different potential home sites for those who would like to have their whole family live on the same land. There’s plenty of wildlife and we’re right down the road from Turkeycock Wildlife Management Association. It’s only twenty minutes to the nearest boat ramp at Smith Mountain Lake. The log cabin was built in 1930, most likely by the civilian conservation corps. It does need some repair to make it fit to live in or rent out as an airbnb. The best part of this land is that it’s unzoned, there’s plenty of road front if you want to subdivide the land. The only restrictions you will have are from the health department when it comes to your well and septic, etc. Otherwise you can do whatever you want on this land.
Let them know you saw it on Old House Life!
