On 27 acres with trails! Fixer Upper Alert in NC. $279,900

November 14, 2026

There is some nice acreage with this property! There are walking trails and multiple outbuildings! This fixer upper was built in 1922. It is located on 27..7 acres in Warrenton, North Carolina. Would be fun to get in there and get up carpeting and then do a thorough cleaning. The electrical needs to be upgraded, but this house has potential! I feel the price might be a bit too high, even with the acreage. Warrenton is a nice town, not too far from Raleigh. Three bedrooms, one bathroom and 2,236 square feet. $279,900

Properties like this are getting difficult to locate: Remarkable farmhouse on 27+ acres in Warren County. Home is original and finishes are dated, but has central A/C and gas heat on the main floor. No propane tank or electric service is connected currently). If you are looking for a diamond in the rough with acreage, put this one on your list. The acreage is wooded with trails through the property and can be timbered, and may be a consistent income provider, once timbered and reseeded. Home fronts Airport Road and timber tract is located behind the home and the other adjacent homes along Airport Road. There is something to be said about older homes! Imagine yourself cozied up next to grandma in the grand living room, reading a book and drinking hot chocolate. Can you imagine Christmas here? Imagine a tall live Christmas tree with sparkling ornaments and decorations, the smell of the Christmas tree and apple pie baking in the kitchen! Just the thought brings back memories of Christmases past, and this can be the future for your family! The kids are outside playing under the large oak trees, running around the yard and enjoying beautiful spring days, or playing in the snow. In later years, they may be running through the woods or riding dirt bikes or four wheelers, enjoying every foot of the wooded land! Don’t discount the value of the timber tract.
