Fire up farm-fresh eggs as the sun peeks over the horizon, slowly rising above a pond and making its way over these 13+ acres of Carolina paradise. Enjoy a morning coffee from the sprawling wrap-around front porch, allowing the calm of a [second] pond view to fill the senses. Community comes easy with endless places for friends and family to gather: greet visitors from the porch as the sun sets over the stocked fishing pond, share stories around the backyard fire pit as smoke from the grill hints at what's for dinner, dine under the night sky on the backyard patio, and roast marshmallows under the string-lights. Keep the telescope handy and make views of the Milky Way just about as commonplace as the peace of farm life. A rare combination of Orange County rural living and convenience - venture just 13 minutes to downtown Hillsborough, 30 minutes to Duke, and 35 minutes to RTP. Arriving home never felt this right as the happenings of the day quickly melt away, upon pulling into the driveway and passing through the tunnel of trees. Spring and summertime bring a bountiful harvest of fruits and vegetables into the kitchen. Embrace a myriad of choices with 15 blackberry, 9 blueberry, a healthy clump of raspberry bushes, a grape vineyard, along with an assortment of apple, pear, fig, nectarine, elderberry, and cherry trees within the fenced backyard and out front. Store the bounty in the lovely walk-in pantry or unfinished basement after canning or share the abundance with friends and family. Each season delivers pleasant surprises and Fall at the farm brings back the fragrance of David Austin roses, while the driveway foliage views could grace an October calendar. The two front fenced pastures stand ready for any livestock that make up those country living dreams: just add sheep, horses, or cows. Combine all of this outside splendor with an amazingly bright kitchen + enviable custom walnut island which opens to the happy living space and dining room with, wait for it, built-in benches. Windows bring the serene outside into *every* room, and sunglass-worthy amount of light into the floorplan which lives large. Vibe: H.O.M.E. The basement is a storage haven, with potential for finishing an extra room or two, and the 14x20 shed offers more room and potential: Studio? She shed? Workshop? With so many other win:win decisions here at the farm - which fire pit to enjoy, pond view to admire, pie to make, and what to do with all of the extra money saved with electricity (and EV charging) covered by the 22,000 KWh/year solar panels - the only wrong decision might be missing the opportunity to make this hobby farm home.
