This unique 1932 farmhouse, situated on over two acres just outside Chapel Hill city limits, is a rare opportunity with endless possibilities. Given the property's size and location, it presents an ideal scenario for a permaculture project or the creation of a food forest.
The residence itself features four bedrooms and two full baths, a living room with a working fireplace, and a vaulted kitchen with brick flooring. There is also an enclosed sunroom and a classic rocking chair front porch.
The property has a two-car detached garage that includes a back studio/workshop space and storage loft. For gardening, there is an in-ground, southern-facing cold frame greenhouse ideal for winter vegetables and spring seedlings. The grounds also feature an old outdoor summer kitchen which was previously used as an artist's workshop. To top things off, there is an old fenced-in plum orchard ready for restoration.
The location is exceptionally convenient. It is only a few minutes from UNC Hospital, downtown Chapel Hill, and Carrboro, with Southern Village and its amenities even closer. Furthermore, the property provides easy access to Cole Park Plaza, Fearrington Village, and Pittsboro. RDU Airport is 23 minutes away. OFFER DEADLINE: 2PM TUESDAY 01/13/2026
