This 5-acre smart mini-farm has beautiful interior updates paired with whole-home solar, two Tesla Powerwall back up batteries, an entire smart-home ecosystem, 5-stall barn, greenhouse, gardens, and more—yet it's located 10 minutes from Hillsborough and a quick hop to I-40/85 for easy access to Chapel Hill and Durham. A wide, wrap-around rocking-chair porch introduces 3,300 sq ft of thoughtfully updated interior offering five bedrooms and three full baths, including a first-floor guest suite. Hardwood floors grace the main level, while brand-new waterproof laminate unifying the second and third floors. The eat-in kitchen showcases granite counters, stainless appliances, and a new induction range, flowing into a formal dining room for seamless entertaining. Upstairs, the owner's suite features dual vanities and double shower heads; a large bonus room and a third-floor retreat with bedroom 5 plus a recreation room flex for multigenerational living, home offices, or creative studios. Smart living essentials include Google Nest thermostats, keypad locks, SimpliSafe security, a high-efficiency tankless water heater, and a 240 V garage outlet ready for EV charging or workshop tools. A water filter and water softener delivers premium water quality while protecting plumbing. Importantly, the home is storm proof. The Tesla Powerwall's ensure that the well pump, refrigerators, cooking and internet connectivity never go down. Outdoors, relax on the new patio or gather around the fire-pit beneath pristine Carolina skies. Do not miss the hand-laid stone beds, fenced pasture, and a flourishing food forest overflowing with apples, peaches, pears, plums, berries, figs, pawpaws, grapes, and assorted nut trees deliver turnkey homesteading potential from day one. If you are looking for a mini-farm with sustainable and smart features and space to grow without sacrificing quick access to Triangle, this energy-independent homestead checks every box. This home has been pre-sale inspected and all-important repairs have been completed.
