Ultimate potential awaits in NE Gaston County! This unique property features 14 total acres split across 2 parcels, boasting 427 feet of road frontage just south of the Lincoln County line. The front 3.3-acre parcel (164346) features a classic, one-family-owned brick ranch (built in 1953) being sold "as-is." Packed with original character, it features gorgeous hardwood floors throughout the hallway, living room and all 3 bedrooms, and a living room with original pine paneling, French doors, and a cozy masonry fireplace with propane logs. A partial garage conversion serves as a spacious unheated rec room with a door opening to the back yard, leaving a 1-car attached garage intact. From the hallway, there’s access to the partial walk-out basement for storage or for a potential workshop. The home, with central heat and air via heat pump, is livable and, in its most recent history, has been professionally managed as a rental. It is now vacant and ready for your cosmetic updates and TLC. Behind the house sits the second parcel (164345): 10.712 wooded acres partially bordered by a creek at the rear. GIS shows no flood plains or utility easements. The wide lot extends almost all the way over to the neighbor’s driveway on the right. After purchasing, you can keep it all together for a massive private estate, or utilize the wide road frontage to add an easement to access the rear acreage. Enjoy peaceful country living while maintaining commuting convenience: only about 1/2 mile to Hwy 27; approx. 4 miles to Stanley dining and shops, about 10 miles to Lincolnton (shopping, dining, Atrium Hospital), or, for airline travel, it’s just a 19-mile drive to Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
