Experience the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury with this exceptional 5 acre equestrian retreat in Moore County, ideally located just minutes from Southern Pines and within an easy drive to Fort Bragg, Fayetteville, and Sanford. Originally built in 1936 and thoughtfully renovated in 2017, this single level farmhouse has been carefully updated to preserve its original character while offering the comfort and functionality of modern living. The original hardwood floors were meticulously matched and extended throughout the home, and a custom dining space was added to enhance both flow and everyday usability while maintaining the home's timeless appeal. At the center of the home is a beautifully designed chef's kitchen that truly elevates the space. Featuring a premium KitchenAid appliance package, natural gas cooktop, double ovens, soft close cabinetry, and exceptional storage, this kitchen was built with both form and function in mind. The standout feature is the impressive 12 foot island with a prep sink, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, gathering, or simply enjoying daily life. The primary suite is privately situated on one side of the home, offering a peaceful retreat complete with a spa inspired bathroom. This space includes a soaking tub, an oversized two person shower with rain showerheads, a custom vanity, and a large walk in closet with built in organization. Just off the suite is a flexible room that can easily function as a home office, nursery, fitness space, or private sitting area depending on your needs. On the opposite side of the home, two additional generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom provide a true split floor plan that allows for privacy and separation, making it ideal for guests or family members. The exterior of the property is where this home truly sets itself apart. The fully usable five acres are thoughtfully laid out for equestrian living and offer four fenced pastures, a two stall barn connected to the home by a covered walkway, and two additional stalls equipped with power and water. A shaded round pen, three sided run in shed, chicken coop, and established vegetable garden further enhance the functionality and lifestyle this property provides. Electric gated access to the backyard adds both convenience and security. Significant infrastructure upgrades have been completed to ensure the property is both efficient and reliable. These include a whole home generator with plug in capability, sump pump, Starlink internet connectivity, two wells in addition to access to town water, and a hot water heater replaced in November 2025 with a recirculator system for added efficiency. A professional home inspection completed in January 2026 is available and provides an added layer of transparency and confidence for buyers. The home also features a two car attached garage with additional storage space and attic access, rounding out a property that has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully improved. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey equestrian property that offers space, functionality, and lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to town. Properties like this do not come available often, especially in one of Moore County's most desirable rural settings.
