# 🏡 FOR SALE BY OWNER — RIVERBROOK COTTAGE * * 685 Lumber Plant Road | Lowgap, NC * * * * Asking Price: Contact Seller * * * * 1.8 Acres | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,200 Heated Sq. Ft. * * * * 2026 NEW CONSTRUCTION — UNFINISHED — SOLD AS-IS * * An opportunity to complete a charming cottage-style home in the scenic foothills of Surry County! Riverbrook Cottage is situated on approximately 1.8 acres and offers a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, two-bathroom floor plan with beautiful rural surroundings and river views. Why Are We Selling Before Completion? We originally intended to complete this property as an investment and sell it once finished. Unfortunately, the project experienced significant delays and financial setbacks involving our previous contractor. Despite substantial payments made toward the agreed construction work, the contractor did not complete the project as promised. We have since ended that working relationship. Rather than continuing to invest additional funds into the project, we've decided to offer the property in its current condition and allow another buyer the opportunity to finish it. Our loss, your gain. * * Our decision to sell is primarily financial and related to the circumstances surrounding the previous contractor's performance. * * We believe the property offers considerable potential for someone prepared to complete the remaining construction. Property Highlights - Approximately 1,200 heated square feet - Two bedrooms and two bathrooms planned - Approximately 1.8 acres - Scenic rural setting with river views - Framing and roofing completed - Windows and most exterior doors installed - Exterior housewrap installed - Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins partially completed - Crawlspace foundation - Opportunity to select interior finishes and customize the completed home Construction Status & Important Disclosures * * This is an unfinished construction project being sold strictly AS-IS. * * The property requires additional construction work, including corrections to previously attempted rough-ins and completion of interior and exterior finishes. Previous inspections identified deficiencies that will need to be corrected, and the property does not currently have a Certificate of Occupancy. Investment Opportunity With the foundation, framing, roofing, and substantial portions of the exterior already in place, this property offers an opportunity for an investor, contractor, or experienced buyer to complete a newly constructed home without starting from scratch. Whether you're looking for a future residence, mountain getaway, or investment property, Riverbrook Cottage offers a starting point for bringing your vision to life. Sale Details - For Sale By Owner - Sold AS-IS in its current condition - Cash or suitable construction/renovation financing preferred - Serious inquiries and scheduled showings only - Construction plans and available inspection documentation can be provided upon request 📩 * * Please send a private message for pricing, additional information, photographs, or to schedule a showing. * *
