Property Description
Meredith Valley Farm - ''Where dreams are made by the water's edge.'' Seldom does a property of this caliber enter the market with the opportunity to own a piece of history so rich in tradition. This just happens to be one of those rare finds! Meredith Valley Farm (''MVF'') is no stranger to anyone living in the beautiful foothills of the southern Appalachian mountains of Northeast Tennessee. MVF is the epitome of a multigenerational family farm with a true heart for community. Originally owned as a working cattle farm dating back to the early 1900s, MVF has blossomed into a versatile commercial and residential property while maintaining the tradition of a working cattle, horse and wildlife farm. For decades MVF has grown and embraced many new personalities and adventures. This majestic, picturesque 134(+/-) acre farm along the prominent Watauga River offers lush rolling pastures, deep green meadows, breathtaking, panoramic mountain top views, a pond, two year-round springs and seven total homes (2 personal residences, the original farmhouse, a log cabin, 3 riverfront cabins and a 17-site campground). Upon arrival at MVF, visitors immediately note the''heart'' of the farm - the ''Farmhouse.'' Built in 1918, the historic Farmhouse offers over 3,200 sq ft, 4BR/3BA and provides a front porch view with spectacular sunrises over the Cherokee National Forest. Next door is the Farmhouse Shed that hosts weddings, receptions, reunions, and other events, and is surrounded with lush gardens with a bird's eye view MVF's classic red barn. Just up the winding private drive is a quaint, log cabin with over 1,000 sq ft, 2BR/1BA, with one of the best front porch pastoral views on the farm. Situated atop MVF's highest point, the ''Top Hill,'' a tiny cabin and campsite presents unsurpassed views of mountain ranges and the city of Elizabethton below. A perfect location to build your dream estate. There are two beautiful private residence homes that each offer their own unique character and charm. The first is a 2,608 sq ft, 3BR/3BA, two-story Victorian home with stunning views and a backyard pool for outdoor enjoyment. The second is a 2,800 sq ft, 3BR/3BA two-story traditional home with wrap-around porch to absorb spectacular long-range mountain and river views. Driving down to the entrance of the farm and along the Watauga River are 3 riverfront cabins, the River Shed, 17 RV sites and an office. Each of the riverfront cabins, uniquely themed, have private decks and fishing piers along the sparkling waters of the Watauga River. Cabin 1 - American Cabin, 570 sq ft, 1BR & loft/1BA; Cabin 2 - Outdoor Cabin, 570 sq ft, 1BR & loft/1 BA; Cabin 3 - Western Cabin, 616 sq ft, 2BR/2BA. The perfect setting to find peace, relaxation and take in all the natural beauty. A fisherman's dream spot as well, located in the Trophy Trout Section of the Watauga River with views protected by Sycamore Shoals State Park. Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail also runs on this side of the river. The River Shed is a magical spot for hosting events and making memories. As an investment property, 5 of the properties (4 cabins and the farmhouse), and the 17 RV sites are consistently rented and provide an excellent income opportunity. The event sheds host weddings, retreats and various gatherings also providing additional income. More detail provided upon request. Located in the historic, quaint town of Elizabethton that offers all of the amenities one might desire, with close proximity to Johnson City, Bristol, Asheville, Boone and many surrounding areas that provide a broader selection.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
