There's a secret hiding in the backyard...
And no, we're not talking about a buried treasure -- although there may be a few treasures back there.
Welcome to 734 Cumberland Circle, a one-owner, 3-bedroom home with a beautiful, well-maintained yard, a paved driveway, generator, carport, office, additional metal carport, three outbuildings and... a secret cabin.
You probably won't see it when you pull up. That's part of the fun.
Tucked away behind the home is a log cabin with a story of its own. In 1985, the Richmond County Daily Journal featured the cabin in an article titled ''A Cabin Full of Memories.'' The owners built the cabin in the 1970s as a labor of love, using much of the material from old tobacco barns and with help from friends and neighbors. It became a game room and a gathering place for cookouts and church socials.
And apparently, Cumberland Circle knew how to have a good time long before anyone had to worry about whether the Wi-Fi reached the backyard. Local folks who are now in their 50s and 60s remember coming here as teenagers for ice cream socials. Yes -- ice cream socials. We told you this place had a story. Both the cabin and the main house have wood-burning stoves, giving you two potential spots for cozy winter evenings. Both stoves have been unused for quite some time and should be inspected before use.
The property also offers three additional outbuildings, a carport, a second metal carport and an office space connected to the carport. The paved driveway makes coming and going easy, while the generator is one of those features you may not think much about -- until you really, really need it.
The house itself is dated. There, we said it. It's not pretending to be something it isn't, and that's part of the opportunity. If you're looking for a home that has already been completely renovated and looks like every other house on the internet, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for character, space, history and the chance to make a home your own, you might want to take a look.
Three outbuildings. A beautiful yard. A little local history. And a cabin you could drive right past without ever knowing it was there.
So come see the house. Walk the yard,look at the outbuildings, find the cabin -You may come looking for a three-bedroom home and end up discovering a little piece of Richmond County history.
