Only a few minutes from town, this unexpected oasis is conveniently tucked alongside Buckhorn Rd. Under the trees and inside the gate you'll be pleasantly surprised to find an English country house and welcoming organic gardens nestled up to the peaceful forestland. With 12.8 acres of native flora and fauna to enjoy and views from the house in every direction - especially over the pond, it's almost impossible to pay attention to the house itself. Give it a try though, and you'll find thoughtful improvements made over the years, from the idyllic sunroom to the renovated kitchen, with particular attention to quality, long-lasting materials. Beneath the surface, the systems and structure of the home have been attended to with care, including high-efficiency insulation, an encapsulated crawl space, solar panels, a whole-house back-up generator, RO water filtration system, and a low-maintenance metal roof. With extra spaces in the garage and studio, there is an opportunity to run your small business, earn extra income from a rental space, or simply enjoy your hobbies and leisure activities. Return to the outdoors for gardening, walking the trail, and fishing in the pond. This unique property combines the particular charm of an English cottage with the show-stopping beauty of North Carolina's great outdoors, without sacrificing the space or functionality that is necessary for today's modern life - although on such a retreat, every day will feel like a vacation. Cheers, and see you soon!
