Darling ranch in your own park like country setting. The backyard Gazebo is perfect for enjoying a relaxing day outdoors. This peaceful haven is only minutes away from all of the shopping and restaurants Wake Forest has to offer, yet tucked away for peace and solitude when you desire to get away from it all. The wired outer storage building would make a great work space for a painter or potter, or just great extra storage.

A limited number of nonresidential uses are also allowed, but generally only if the Board of Adjustment first reviews and approves a site plan and Special Use Permit for such use.
