Welcome to Red Truck Meadows, a special 33-acre property offering long-range mountain views, an updated character-filled home and an established hobby-farm setting just outside Morganton. The home began as a traditional log cabin and was expanded over the years, creating a unique blend of original character and comfortable living. Exposed logs, wide-plank wood floors, hand-hewn beams and stone fireplaces are reminders of the home's history, while thoughtful updates make it ready for today. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, with a large center island, abundant cabinetry and room to gather. Multiple living spaces provide room to spread out, and the finished walk-out basement offers a second gathering area, additional sleeping/flex space and a full bath. Covered and screened porches provide even more space to relax and take in the peaceful setting. Outside is where Red Truck Meadows really shines. Three fenced pastures are ready for livestock, and the barn has water and electricity with space for animals, storage and a workshop. The property currently supports goats and chickens and features a large vegetable garden.
