The land and setting

The parcel is 5.12 acres, described by the listing as sloped, with a creek running through it. None of the available photos show that creek directly, so take the listing’s word for it rather than ours and ask the agent exactly where it runs on the property. A small outbuilding and a shed sit apart from the main cabin, both visible from the yard.

The listing credits the property with a tornado shelter among its additional structures. We did not see one clearly in the photos provided, so confirm its location and condition with the agent directly.

If this kind of below-market, as-is rural property is the category you are searching in, foreclosure.com tracks a wider list of bank-owned and distressed listings beyond what shows up on the regular market.

The cabin

The cabin is wood-paneled throughout, with a spiral staircase connecting the main floor to an upper loft level. The listing describes a living room of 380 square feet and a glassed-in room it calls a Florida Room at 180 square feet, both counted inside the 1,487-square-foot total.

The kitchen has wood cabinets and a double sink with a window above the counter. The listing lists an electric range as the only included appliance.

The photos show a property that has sat unoccupied for some time: worn flooring, a weathered deck, and rooms in varying states of finish. This matches the listing’s own description of a home that is not currently livable. The listing lists propane and wood as the heat source and wall or window air conditioning units for cooling, with no central HVAC system.

Water comes from a well and sewer is a septic tank, both per the listing. None of this is independently verified by us, and a property in this condition is worth a contractor’s walkthrough before you commit to a number for repairs.

The facts

What to know before you call

This is a bank-owned property sold as-is, and the listing says plainly that the home is not currently livable. Budget for real repair costs beyond the purchase price, and expect this one to be a harder fit for conventional financing than a move-in-ready home. Cash or renovation-specific financing is the more likely path here. Ask the agent directly what financing buyers have actually used on this property.

The listing’s own facts panel does not give a financing type, road access detail, or power source, which is unusual for a listing this specific about its interior dimensions. Confirm all three directly with the agent before assuming anything about year-round access or utility hookups.

The property is priced at $110,000, listed four days ago as of this writing with no prior price history to report.
