Step back in time with this stunning early 1900s estate, where historic charm meets modern convenience. Once owned by the Farmer family, key figures in Bailey's founding, this charming property is across from The Country Doctor Museum and ready for its next chapter. Set on over 35 acres of opportunity, this property is more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Spanning 3,000 square feet, this five-bedroom, three-bath home is a rare find, brimming with character and timeless appeal. Original details—vintage chandeliers, five fireplaces (including four wood-burning and one coal), hardwood floors, and intricate woodwork—tell the story of a bygone era, while thoughtful updates provide peace of mind. Recent improvements include modern plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, as well as a restored slate roof, ensuring this beauty is ready for its next chapter. The home offers endless potential for customization, with an unfinished basement providing space for future expansion. Beyond the main residence, you'll find a detached garage and a spectacular barn featuring horse stalls, original tie-ups, and a classic hayloft with sweeping views of the property—perfect for equestrian enthusiasts. The surrounding fields are ideal for pastures or a training ring while mature pine stands offer potential timber income. Bordered by a serene creek, this vast estate has an abundance of natural beauty and tranquility. The versatile Nash County zoning allows for a variety of uses, from a private homestead or working farm to an unforgettable event venue. The possibilities are truly endless!
