Private & peaceful is this horse farm in the NC Coastal Plains. Dozens of draft horses were once bred here, but it could also be a profitable boarding facility. Lush pastures provide plenty of grazing; sparkling ponds clean enough to swim in. The Black River borders one side of the property & is home to the largest concentration of millennium-old bald cypress trees ever documented. Hunting and fishing are excellent in this part of NC. Raleigh, Ft. Bragg, & the beach are quick trips along nearby highways.
