About this home
This custom-built barndominium sits on 10+ scenic acres and offers the perfect blend of modern-rustic living, equestrian functionality, and outdoor recreation. The unique floor plan features two integrated horse stalls (easily convertible into three stalls or two with a separate tack room) on the ground level, along with a spacious bedroom, half bath, and laundry room. The middle walkway also connects to the fenced paddock and fields behind the home. Upstairs, the main living area is centered around a cozy wood-burning stove and a beautiful kitchen featuring butcher block countertops and a gas range. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a back deck overlooking the paddock and pasture complete the upper level. Outside is where this property truly shines. Explore private walking trails, relax by the cold spring-fed pond perfect for fishing, canoeing, or paddleboarding, or spend summer days by the beautifully landscaped in-ground saltwater pool. The property also includes a fully finished outbuilding with power and AC, a storage shed, well house with potting shed, and plenty of space to enjoy the surrounding acreage. A durable metal roof, recently serviced HVAC system, and generator capable of powering the entire residence add peace of mind to this one-of-a-kind rural retreat. Just five minutes from downtown Carthage, and a quick 25 minute drive to Ft Bragg makes this property ideally located. Welcome Home!
