3235 US Highway 13 S

A 1935 farmhouse on 2.37 unrestricted acres in Wayne County with a 60 by 43 metal shop, a car lift, a detached garage and a carport, listed at $229,900. The listing leads with the reason for the price: the foundation needs repair and the floor system needs replacing, and the seller has a quote in the documents. It has been on the market since December 2025, started at $324,900, and one contract has already fallen through.

The land and setting

The lot is 2.37 acres by the listing, with dimensions of 327 by 288 by 322 by 304 feet, which makes it a near-square block off US 13 south of Goldsboro in the Grantham area. Road frontage is a state road, publicly maintained and paved. The listing calls the lot unrestricted, and there is no HOA.

The photos show open, flat ground around the house and the outbuildings, a few mature trees near the road, and farmland beyond the fence line. The listing counts five mature, producing pecan trees. Busco Beach ATV park is listed as less than ten minutes away, which is the reason the shop is pitched at ATV owners.

The house

Built in 1935 with vinyl siding and a metal roof, the house has three bedrooms, all on the main level, two full baths, a bonus room, a dining area, and a sunroom with a wood stove. The listing gives 2,254 square feet on one level. Inside, the photos show wood and laminate floors, a living room with a fireplace, a kitchen with white cabinets, a stainless range, a refrigerator and an island, a walk-in shower in one bath, and a laundry room with washer and electric dryer hookups. Heating is electric and propane, and cooling is central air.

The first line of the listing is the one that matters: the price reflects needed repairs to the foundation, and the floor system needs replacing. The listing says a quote is in the documents, which means the seller has priced the work and expects the buyer to take it on. The interior photos do not show the problem, and they were taken in December 2025.

The shop is the other half of the listing. It is 60 by 43 feet, metal, with two roll-up doors, water, electricity, a sink, a drinking fountain, a wood-burning stove, built-in cabinets and shelving, and a 10,000-pound car lift. Upstairs is unfinished, with a balcony. The listing also includes a detached one-car garage with electricity and a detached two-car carport. The sale includes the kitchen refrigerator, the shop refrigerator, a freestanding kitchen island, extra sheetrock for the shop’s upper level, and wood for the shop stove.

What to know before you call

The foundation and floor system. This is the listing’s own disclosure, so take it as given rather than as a risk to discover. Get the quote from the documents, then get your own. A floor system replacement in a 1935 house can uncover more than the quote covers, and a lender’s appraiser may condition the loan on the work. The listing does not say what financing the seller will accept.

The price history says the market has already discounted it. The house was listed in March 2024 at $324,900, cut twice, and pulled in May 2024. It came back on December 11, 2025 at the same $324,900, went to $299,900 in January, $274,900 in February, went under contract on March 30, came back on April 13, then dropped to $249,900 in May and $229,900 in June. That is $95,000 off the original ask and one buyer who backed out. The documents were updated on June 19, which is when the repair quote most likely went in.

Acreage and square footage do not match the county. The listing says 2.37 acres and 2,254 square feet. Wayne County has the parcel at 2.24 acres and 2,235 finished square feet, with a total building footprint of 2,799 that presumably takes in porches. Small gaps, but a survey settles the acreage and the appraiser will use the county’s number until one does.

The tax figure on the listing is a year old. The listing shows $1,163.21, which is the county’s 2024 bill. The 2025 bill is $1,395.64. Wayne County revalued in 2024 and the assessed value went from $139,040 to $196,320. Budget from the 2025 figure. A sale at $229,900 is above the current assessment, so expect the next county revaluation to move it again.

Who it suits. Someone who wants the shop as much as the house, has cash or a lender comfortable with a repair condition, and is willing to price the foundation work before making an offer rather than after. For a North Carolina comparison without the repair, there is the 1902 farmhouse on 2.69 acres in Merry Hill. In the same price range with no known structural work, the furnished log cabin on 5 acres in Englewood, Tennessee is the nearest thing on our properties page.
