Here's your chance to own a piece of the valley in Valle Crucis!! Enjoy lots of room inside this 2006 double-wide along with almost 7 acres of land. You'll love the open floor plan with the primary bedroom on one side and two more bedrooms on the other side. There's even a bonus room that works well as an office or playroom. You'll be amazed how large the living, dining and kitchen areas feel! This home does need some TLC inside with paint and flooring. Outside, the brand new metal roof was added just this year, but needs new decking in front and back. The block skirting does need some repairs but it does not affect the permanent foundation. This land is wooded, great for hiking or building another home.
