Bassett, VA 24055
MLS# 930704
3 beds | 2.1 baths | 2230 sqft
Property DescriptionDiscover the space, privacy, and versatility of this 3-level farmhouse on 13.3 wooded acres at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac. With a main home, a finished lower level with patio entrance, an as-is cabin, a barn, and an RV pad with hookup, the property lends itself to a family compound or multigenerational living, with room for everyone to spread out. The address says Bassett, but you are actually closer to Rocky Mount, with Route 220 right there for an easy drive north to Roanoke or south to Greensboro. Comfortable country living, with amenities and commuting routes minutes away.
The main level features an inviting open-concept layout with a living room and fireplace, formal dining room, flexible office or potential bedroom, half bath with laundry, and a spacious kitchen with a walk-in pantry and movable island. Step outside to the expanded wraparound deck, complete with a porch swing and plenty of room for grilling, outdoor dining, and entertaining.
Upstairs, you'll find the spacious primary suite, accompanied by two additional bedrooms offering beautiful views. The finished lower level adds even more flexibility with a bright living area, flex room that's currently an additional bedroom, patio access, and a built-in garage/workshop.
With 13.3 acres, there is plenty to enjoy beyond the home. Explore wooded trails, tend a garden, gather around the fire pit, or take advantage of the barn, large woodshed, RV pad and hookup, two driveways, and an as-is cabin. Whether that means a second home site down the road, space for parents or adult kids, or simply room that is yours, the land gives you options.
Numerous improvements add to the property's appeal, including a metal roof installed in 2022, whole-house generator added in 2023, new garage door and expanded rear deck in 2025, and a new wood front porch in 2026. The propane system was also upgraded with a 500-gallon leased tank relocated away from the main yard.
Whether you're searching for an acreage property, farmhouse, homestead, multigenerational setup, home with workshop space, or a private wooded retreat with convenient Route 220 access to Roanoke and Greensboro, this unique property offers space and possibilities that are increasingly hard to find.
