Two Wired Workshops, 1.5 Acres, New Roof in Hobgood — $150,000

The two wired workshops with covered areas are what make this property worth paying attention to. A lot of places advertise storage space and deliver a single shed. Here you get two separate outbuildings, both wired for power, both with covered areas attached. If you work on things, build things, store equipment, or just need room to operate outside the house, that setup is genuinely useful.

The house itself is a 1977 three-bedroom, one-bath at 1,025 square feet. Small. One bathroom for three bedrooms is tight living, and the agent copy is upfront that the property is being sold as-is, which means it needs work. The new roof installed in May 2026 is a real thing, though. That is one of the more expensive updates a house can need, and it is already done.

Out front there is a covered porch, and there is a back deck as well. Basic covered porch, not a showstopper, but usable.

The land is the other piece. The main lot is a half acre, and there is an additional cleared acre included, so 1.5 acres total. The extra lot is separate but part of the sale. Cleared land means you can actually do something with it right away without first spending a season cutting things back.

Hobgood is a small town in Halifax County. The listing does not give you much about the immediate surroundings, so draw your own conclusions about what rural Halifax County looks and feels like on a given day.

At $150,000 for a small house on 1.5 acres with two powered outbuildings and a fresh roof, the math depends entirely on what the interior needs and what you plan to do with the land and the workshops. If the workshops are the point, the rest of it becomes a question of tolerance and budget.
