$250,000 - 802 Smith Road, Rockdale

This charming farmhouse on expansive acreage offers peaceful country living just minutes from town. The home blends timeless character with extensive modern updates, including a raised and leveled foundation, new PEX plumbing, tankless water heater, new electrical, and new double-pane windows throughout—including one in the garage. Closed cell foam insulation in the attic and upstairs closets boosts energy efficiency. Inside, shiplap walls and ceilings throughout add rustic charm. All prior wall layers were removed, sanded, and either painted or clear-coated for a clean, durable finish. The great room is warm and inviting, while the kitchen and bathrooms feature new granite countertops. Travertine tile floors in the entry and front bathroom and carpet in the upstairs bedroom and closet enhance comfort and style. The detached two-car garage includes two 10x20 rooms—ideal for workshops, storage, or hobby space—plus new breakers and a new breaker box. A fully functional 10x10 walk-in cooler is perfect for produce, beverages, or meat storage. The property also includes an existing carport and a newly built custom carport. Outdoors, you’ll find a true homesteader’s dream: fruit trees (pomegranate, peach, key lime, Meyer lemon, satsuma, mulberry, fig, and pecan), wild muscadine grapes, honeysuckle, wild spinach (Lamb’s Quarter), and perennial asparagus beds that return year after year. Ready for livestock, the land includes a stock tank, chicken coops, stables, and a feed/tack room. Chickens, turkeys, goats, cattle, and dogs currently roam the grounds. The acreage feels even more expansive than expected and offers endless possibilities for farming, gardening, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the countryside.
