Remember when Chip and Joanna Gaines launched their show on HGTV and made ”modern rustic” farmhouse redesign the hottest trend to hit the real estate world? Now is your chance to recreate their journey, escape city life, and renovate your own a piece of American history.Meet the little farmhouse that could! Long ago, this circa 1900 farmhouse was a working Florida farm, but some sentimental owners moved their labor of love to a new homestead, just 5 minutes north of state line in Wing, Alabama. The weathered wood cabin, with the tin roof, is now surrounded by cotton land and sits minutes away from the Conecuh National Forest. Much of the original land was sold, but the nostalgia of rural life remains on 1.8 acres of fertile land (fruit trees, berry bushes, grape vines), along with mature hardwoods, native shrubs and flowers. The 2 BR/2 Bath farmhouse was updated throughout the years (electric, plumbing, HVAC) but the owners also left much of the original charm (hardwood floors & shiplap). Now it’s ready for new owners to breathe life back into the old farmhouse and restore it to its former glory. Are you ready to meet your fixer-upper? Call me!
