Welcome to Sandhills Cottage Farm! Super private & efficient farm for the equine and/or canine enthusiast!

You will love the 3 porches, craftsman influences with natural tones and textures, wood trim, knotty pine doors and savvy design. Your 4-legged friends will love the easy access to the fenced cottage yard and lazy afternoons napping on the backporch! From every window and porch, you can enjoy a view of every element of this farm - pastoral views from the front porch, views of the barn from the breakfast/dining 3-bay window, views of your fenced cottage yard and 2-bay detached garage building from the rear screened porch, or views of your jump field from the Great Room screened porch. The screened porch adjacent to the Great Room is a lovely gathering space for both entertaining and everyday living!.
