Own a piece of early mountain agricultural heritage, less than a 5-minute drive from the thriving mountain community of Brevard and its award-winning “Main Street” downtown area!
Built c.1846 with a large ell addition in 1860, the historic Elizur Patton House is believed to be the second oldest house in Transylvania County, postdating the Deavor House which has been restored by local preservationists as a museum. The house is an integral part of the early agricultural heritage of Transylvania County and its vernacular architecture. Located in the Pisgah Forest Township of Transylvania County, it is only five minutes from downtown Brevard and is sited upon a rise immediately west of a gentle eastward slope toward the nearby Davidson River. The Patton family was one of the more prominent farming families in the region.

Thanks and this is not as old as my two which are 1790 and 1810, but I guess without seeing more rot, it would take $50K if you could do it yourself along with two helpers at $13 an hour and $100K++++++++ if contracted. Looks like it has new A/C's which is a plus though I would look some more. Only has one chimney when the standard is two. I have two which serve 4 fireplaces.

That should have been three chimneys which serve 5 fireplaces.

Deletebricks crumbled on top of the roof. It doesn't look
like a very healthy house overall. I'm afraid civilization
is going to surround the house as Brevard is not what it
once was. On Charlotte St. in Asheville, these big old,
old homes which are in good shape are going to be trashed
for some toxic modern structures. I can't fathom it.

DeleteIf this is the one on the right then I missed it and it should be able to be repaired. They have the bottoms made of field stones, I believe and have never seen this, but it might make them stronger. Both of them look like they have been repointed.

Not maybe I take it. :(
