Property Description

Room to ride, A place to belong. This 6.3-acre Raleigh equestrian estate brings together a beautifully appointed American farmhouse, a custom barn and fenced pastures in a setting that feels far removed from the everyday-yet remains exceptionally convenient to North Raleigh, RDU and the greater Triangle. For the equestrian buyer, the property offers a thoughtful connection between home, barn and land. The 36 × 36 custom barn complements the residence's architecture and materials, with horse stalls, tack/storage areas and a generous center aisle. An extensive paved driveway connects the residence, oversized three-car garage and barn, while a circular arrival drive and additional parking pad accommodate guests, vehicles and equipment. The estate directly adjoins a separate 30-acre horse farm, adding to its established equestrian surroundings. Built in 2001 and thoughtfully remodeled in 2016, the 5,189-square-foot residence offers four bedrooms, five full baths and one half bath, with the primary suite on the main level. Crisp white siding, multiple gables, standing-seam metal accents, brick walkways and an expansive covered front porch give the home its enduring farmhouse character. Inside, hardwood floors, substantial millwork and abundant natural light create an elegant, welcoming atmosphere. The open main-level layout connects the kitchen, living and gathering spaces, with magnificent views across the horse fields. A dramatic two-story gathering room features a stone fireplace, French doors and an upper-level gallery. A distinctive wood-paneled sitting room offers a second fireplace, detailed ceiling beams and walls of windows. The main-level primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a tray ceiling, broad windows and a private bath. Outdoor living is equally inviting. A landscaped brick courtyard, colorful seasonal gardens and mature plantings surround the home, while a koi pond with a cascading waterfall creates a tranquil place to unwind. Covered porches offer space to linger and take in the grounds. An oversized, extra-deep three-car garage, humidity-controlled sealed crawl space, automatic-transfer standby generator and two owned 1,000-gallon underground propane tanks support the estate's everyday function. A rare combination of equestrian amenities, beautifully meticulously maintained grounds and a remodeled farmhouse—all with convenient access to the places that make Raleigh, RDU airport, and the Triangle so desirable.
