About this home

Motivated Seller! Rare find in the heart of Colfax. Set on 1.75 acres, with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and attached and detached two-car garages. Built like a fortress and reinforced with steel beams throughout, this home was made to last. Recent upgrades including a partial new roof, new well pump and motor with warranty, new septic pump with warranty, and 17 new windows with warranty. The home carries a remarkable legacy as the former residence of Paul Ciener, founder of the celebrated Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden in Kernersville. A piece of that history lives on inside with the original Ford wallpaper, a preserved collector’s treasure unlike anything on today’s market. The grounds are dotted with mature peach, fig, blueberry, and pecan trees. just a short drive to the Piedmont Farmers Market and the charm of one of Guilford County’s most beloved communities. A property this rich in history, space, and soul doesn’t come along often.

Agricultural District

The AG, Agricultural District, is primarily intended to accommodate uses of an agricultural nature, including farm residences and farm tenant housing. It also accommodates scattered non-farm residences on large tracts of land. It is not intended for major residential subdivisions. The district is established for the following purposes: 1) To preserve and encourage the continued use of land for agricultural, forest and open space purposes; 2) To discourage scattered commercial and industrial land uses; 3) To concentrate urban development in and around area growth centers, thereby avoiding premature conversion of farmland to urban uses; 4) To discourage any use which, because of its character, would create premature or extraordinary public infrastructure and service demands.
