Land with Home for Sale in Carthage, North Carolina

Nearly 7 acres. A private pond. A barn. And a home that feels like a permanent vacation. Tucked into McDeeds Creek, this is not a property you'll find twice. Park-like woods open to established pasture, with a natural creek winding through the property and feeding the pond -- a place where your horses can wade in on a hot afternoon. It's the cabin-in-the-woods setting most buyers only talk about, with the acreage and infrastructure to actually live it. Inside, brick flooring and warm pine woodwork, freshly varnished, set the tone. The family room gathers around a large wood-burning fireplace, while both main-level bedrooms open directly to the rear deck -- there truly isn't a bad view in the house. Upstairs, the primary suite steals the show with a private east-facing deck overlooking the water, made for slow mornings and sunrise coffee. The floor plan is anything but cookie-cutter, with far more storage than you'd expect. Recent updates make this one easy to own: a new septic system (2026), new Goodman central HVAC (2026), refreshed siding and flashing, and fresh paint inside and out. Outside, the 2.5-car garage offers generous bonus space above -- workshop, studio, woodworking space, or storage, your call. The 2-stall shedrow barn includes a tack room and covered run-in, plus a deep hay loft and adjoining storage building for everything else. A circular drive makes parking and trailer access effortless. McDeeds Creek is a quiet, private community laced with bridle paths, just minutes from downtown Southern Pines and an easy drive to Pinehurst or Fort Bragg. Nearly seven acres, water, pasture, barn, and a home with character -- this is the kind of property people move to the area hoping to find.
