Vale is farm country, and this stretch of western Catawba County looks the part. Open sky, room to breathe, and no subdivision telling you what color to paint your door. The home sits on a little over half an acre and gives you 1,080 square feet all on one level. Built in 1992, site built, not manufactured. Two bedrooms and two full baths in a split plan, so the bedrooms sit on opposite ends of the house. That's rare at this size, and it makes a real difference when you've got a guest, a roommate, or somebody who works third shift. Hardwood floors run through the living space. The laundry room is bigger than you'd expect for a house this size, with room to actually fold clothes instead of stacking them on the couch. Out back there's a covered porch, which is where you'll end up most evenings once the sun drops behind the trees. The storage building in the yard conveys with the property, so the mower and the tools have somewhere to live. Gravel driveway, crawl space foundation, vinyl siding, and a heat pump that handles both the heat and the air. Brand new roof going on the first week of September, 2026. Well and septic on site, and the road out front is maintained by the county, so you're not chipping in for gravel every spring. The county tax card lists this home as 3 bedrooms, but the septic permit on file with Catawba County Environmental Health is for 2 bedrooms, and that's what this home is and how it's being sold. There are also two recorded easements, one for power and one for a 20 foot driveway. The plat is uploaded so a buyer can see exactly where they sit. The range and oven convey. No other appliances are included. Lincolnton, Hickory, and Morganton are all an easy drive from here, and Charlotte is close enough for a day trip. Buyer to verify square footage, acreage, zoning, easements, and septic capacity.
