1385 Shive Rd Salisbury, NC 28146
Description
This 12.54+/- acre property is located in the countryside of Rowan County, North Carolina and offers a combination of residential living, recreational land use, and event or workspace opportunities. The property is accessed by a long gravel driveway that passes through a wooded setting before opening to the homesite and associated structures. The setting provides separation from public roads and surrounding properties while maintaining accessibility.
The primary residence is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom brick ranch home with a fully remodeled interior. Interior improvements include an updated kitchen with ample cabinetry and workspace, a designated dining area, a sunroom with exterior views, and a living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace. The primary bathroom includes a walk-in tile shower. A new HVAC system was installed in 2023, and the home has a metal roof with all fasteners replaced in 2022. Appliances have been updated within the past five years.
The crawlspace has been fully encapsulated and includes foam board insulation on all walls, built-in termite control, and a lifetime transferable warranty. A whole-home dehumidifier with WiFi control is also installed. These updates contribute to long-term maintenance planning and moisture management.
The outdoor living space includes two large backyard patios. One patio is elevated and supported by retaining walls, while the lower patio includes a built-in firepit. These areas offer space for gatherings and outdoor activities. A security camera system is installed on the property.
A significant feature of the property is the multi-purpose metal siding pole barn. The building measures approximately 50 by 60 feet with a 40 by 60 feet insulated interior and an attached 10 by 60 feet lighted lean-to. Three insulated overhead doors are equipped with WiFi openers, including one door with battery backup. The interior features custom wood finishes using 10+ tree species and includes a rock wall fireplace with a wood stove. The concrete floor is constructed with 4,000 PSI concrete, fiber reinforcement, mesh, and a thickness of approximately five to six inches. It was built to handle various sorts of equipment and weight.
Additional structures include a 2.5 stall detached garage, a 12 by 28 workshop connected to the garage with overhead and service doors, built-in workbenches, and wall storage. There is also a 12 by 28 shed with a 16 by 28 partially enclosed lean-to.
The land includes maintained perimeter trails suitable for riding and recreation, including a bridge crossing a creek. A private beach area is located along the creek, and a tower deer stand overlooks a small food plot, creek, and beach area. The property also includes a dirt bike track and a shooting range with the ability to accommodate distances exceeding 200 yards. Wildlife is present throughout the property, including deer and turkey.
A 20 by 60 gravel area adjacent to the barn provides additional parking or space for a future lean-to addition. Utilities and improvements are arranged to support both residential use and recreational or hobby-based activities.
