Specialty Property For Sale · 1,812 SF

This unique rural property is nestled among the beautiful, peaceful surroundings of a forest. It is located on the edge of Richmond County approximately 1-1/2 hours east of Charlotte, 30 minutes north of Rockingham, an hour south of Greensboro, and less than 2 hours west of Fayetteville, NC. It has a rich history dating back to 1858 when the Fayetteville Presbytery appointed a committee to organize a church near the Little River and the trading path at Morganton Road. The original structure was 50’x36’ with a 20’ high ceiling to accommodate an upstairs gallery. Some years ago the church sustained damages from a tornado which swept through the area but was lovingly rebuilt and modernized. The main building features a large room formerly used as a sanctuary with a raised platform, two bathrooms, and a large closet. There is a separate building that was used as a fellowship hall and has a kitchen sink, a bathroom, and electrical outlets suitable for a refrigerator and electric range/oven. Even though there is a long history of use as a church, there is no on-site cemetery as was usually the custom in this area. In addition to using this site as a church, it would be perfect for historic-site-country-weddings. Also, the quiet forest surroundings inspires many alternative uses such as: a family home, an artist studio/gallery, a spiritual retreat, or a peaceful meditation center. The opportunities are endless.
