An exceptional and rare offering in New Hanover County, this private 5 acre farm estate delivers the perfect balance of modern comfort, equestrian functionality, and peaceful country living--just minutes from shopping, dining, downtown Wilmington nightlife, and everyday conveniences.
Built in 2017 and meticulously maintained, the single story home offers approximately 2,450 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and is truly move in ready. The open concept layout is anchored by a massive granite kitchen island, ideal for entertaining and daily living, with abundant cabinetry and seamless flow into the main living area. A wood burning fireplace creates a warm focal point, while 9+ foot ceilings, lpv flooring, and natural light enhance the home's inviting yet refined atmosphere. The floor plan includes a dedicated home office (large enough to be a 4th bedroom), 3 spacious bedrooms, excellent storage throughout, and a large walk up attic with significant future potential for expansion or additional living space. Additional features include a two car attached garage, a separate carport, and a storage container, offering abundant space for vehicles, equipment, tools, and recreational gear.
Outside, the property shines as a turn key farm and equestrian retreat. The land features beautifully fenced pastures, mature trees, and exceptional privacy, while remaining completely usable and level. The property is served by two private wells, with water run to every pasture, providing outstanding infrastructure for livestock, horses, or agricultural use. A greenhouse adds even more versatility for gardening or small scale farming.
The equestrian facilities are impressive and thoughtfully designed. The first barn includes three stalls, a hay and tack room, and an outdoor wash pad for daily horse care. The larger main barn offers four spacious stalls, a covered washroom with hot and cold water, a large hay storage room, a separate feed room, and a combined tack and office space, ideal for organized farm operations, training, boarding or lessons. Together, these barns provide exceptional flexibility for both hobby and serious equestrian use. 4+ separate fenced pastures as well as round pen.
Adding tremendous, long term value, the property includes two additional approved 4 bedroom septic permits, creating a rare opportunity to subdivide, build additional homes, or establish a multi generational family compound--an option seldom available in such a convenient New Hanover County location.
Private, tranquil, and remarkably versatile, this one of a kind estate offers true farm living without sacrificing proximity to the coast, city amenities, and modern conveniences.
