979 Interstate Highway U Gap Rd

A 1920 rustic farmhouse on 14.01 unrestricted acres near Robbinsville, North Carolina, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a stream, a pond and several outbuildings scattered across the land. Listed at $349,900.

The land

The listing calls this parcel unrestricted, meaning no zoning or deed restrictions limit what a buyer can do with it, and points to both a private mountain retreat and income-producing possibilities as options. A stream runs through the front yard into a pond, and the remarks describe a custom firepit as a natural addition nearby. Open pasture suitable for horses, goats or cattle makes up part of the 14 acres, alongside wooded sections and the cleared yard around the house.

A horse barn with open stalls sits on the property, along with several smaller outbuildings the listing describes as good for storage, a man cave or she shed, or hobbies. A canning storage building sits just behind the house for the garden the listing says there’s room for.

The house

Built in 1920, the farmhouse has gas log fireplaces and a wood stove, with a large covered front porch running the length of the house. The listing does not give a square footage figure. Inside, the living area has wood paneling, a stone fireplace and a vaulted ceiling with a loft above.

The listing describes the loft as a great place for kids to play. Photos also show a covered back deck with a bench swing and picnic table, set up for outdoor meals, which the listing says includes an outdoor range.

What to know before you call

No square footage is given on this listing, which stays out of the specs above rather than being estimated. Property taxes, water and sewer source, heating and cooling type, HOA status and financing terms are also not listed, and this address did not return a matching public record on the sources we checked, so none of those figures could be cross-checked or filled in.

The listing leans heavily on the setting and the outbuildings rather than the house itself. Anyone seriously considering this property should ask the agent directly about square footage, well and septic details, and the condition of the outbuildings before writing an offer, since the photos show some of them in rougher shape than the main house.

This is our first property on U Gap Rd near Robbinsville. The listing has been on the market 34 days as of this writing.
