***Back-up offers welcomed***The Randall House. A Rare early Colonial American Estate. An extraordinary opportunity to own one of North Carolina's few remaining plantation estates. The Randall House encompasses 27 acres of rolling countryside and a remarkable architectural legacy dating to the pre-1800s. The residence was substantially "overbuilt" circa 1835. Restored in the 1970s, the home retains an exceptional collection of original details, including hand-planed moldings, period mantels, wide-plank floors, and multiple fireplaces. The formal Parlor and Library are distinguished by handsome fireplaces and built-ins, while the Dining Room features a protected hand-painted mural depicting early plantation life. The expansive Kitchen and Great Room provide a spectacular gathering space, with vaulted ceilings, a massive stone wood-burning fireplace, and a Butler's Pantry with wet bar and convenient pass-through. Two of the three bedrooms retain original fireplaces. Outside, a broad rear porch overlooks a generous brick terrace and open fields, creating a beautiful setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the landscape. The estate includes a remarkable collection of outbuildings: a 1,255-square-foot pre-Civil War cottage, a 40' x 50' metal pole barn with 200-amp service, and a former milking parlor now serving as an office and pool hall. The property has a large pond and is mostly open field, with some woods around the cottage.
Whether envisioned as a private family compound, equestrian property, or distinctive event venue, The Randall House offers possibilities rarely found in today's market. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and protected by Preservation North Carolina covenants, the property cannot be subdivided.
Historic records convey. The Randall House is not simply a historic home—it is a rare opportunity to become the steward of an irreplaceable piece of early American history.
