Finding over 10 acres in Wake County is becoming increasingly challenging! Land with this type of history and over 10 acres is extremely rare. Spread across three deeded parcels, this private retreat pairs open land with a barn (water and electricity in place) and four stalls ready for horses, a hobby farm, or whatever you dream up. At its heart sits the historic Branch Ferrell House, documented in Wake County's architectural record and rebuilt to the studs in 2014. 2,500 heated square feet of preserved character and modern comfort. Chef's kitchen with an oversized island, main-level owner's suite under a cathedral ceiling, original fireplaces, and covered porches made for slow mornings. Space, privacy, and legacy, minutes from Zebulon and an easy commute to Raleigh.
