Boomer, North Carolina was originally known as Warrior Creek, named for the stream running through this Wilkes County farming community, before being renamed for Ed “Boomer” Matheson, the area’s first postmaster. Set in the foothills of the Brushy Mountains, an isolated spur of the Blue Ridge, Boomer remains a small, close-knit township of just over 1,200 people. On 7.08 acres in that same quiet corner of Wilkes County, a three-bedroom home at 209 Bruno Ln — genuinely large at 3,403 square feet thanks to an attached accessory dwelling unit — is now listed at $170,000 following a $10,000 price cut on September 3.
An Important Note: Cash Sale, Owner-Sold
Before anything else, buyers should know this is an owner sale accepting cash offers only. Buyers should confirm financing options directly with the seller’s agent, since manufactured homes like this one can face more limited conventional financing availability depending on the lender and the home’s foundation type.
Genuinely Refreshed, With Bonus Living Space
The listing leads with real, recent work: a new front porch, fresh paint throughout, a new walk-in shower, new light fixtures, and new windows. Built in 1995, the home offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms (two full, one half), with stone and wood flooring throughout. What sets this listing apart is the attached ADU — an accessory dwelling unit built onto the main home, adding genuine flexibility for multi-generational living, a home office setup, guest quarters, or rental income potential, all without needing to build a separate structure. Heating and cooling both run through an electric heat pump system.
Seven Private Acres
The listing highlights a private setting directly, and the 7.08-acre lot backs that up with a genuinely secluded mix of partially cleared and partially wooded land. A gravel driveway leads to the property, and a covered porch — new, per the listing — gives the home a place to take in the surrounding acreage.
The Practical Details
Water comes from a private well, and the property runs on a septic tank. The home sits on a slab foundation with block and vinyl siding construction. Annual property taxes are notably low at just $641, and the home has been on the market for 25 days as of this listing, with a price reduction following shortly after.
