This 5-acre smart mini-farm has beautiful interior updates paired with whole-home solar, two Tesla Powerwall back up batteries, an entire smart-home ecosystem, 5-stall barn, greenhouse, gardens, and more--yet it's located 10 minutes from Hillsborough and a quick hop to I-40/85 for easy access to Chapel Hill and Durham. A wide, wrap-around rocking-chair porch introduces 3,300 sq ft of thoughtfully updated interior offering five bedrooms and three full baths, including a first-floor guest suite. Hardwood floors grace the main level, while brand-new waterproof laminate unifying the second and third floors. The eat-in kitchen showcases granite counters, stainless appliances, and a new induction range, flowing into a formal dining room for seamless entertaining. Upstairs, the owner's suite features dual vanities and double shower heads; a large bonus room and a third-floor retreat with bedroom 5 plus a recreation room flex for multigenerational living, home offices, or creative studios. Smart living essentials include Google Nest thermostats, keypad locks, SimpliSafe security, a high-efficiency tankless water heater, and a 240 V garage outlet ready for EV charging or workshop tools. A water filter and water softener delivers premium water quality while protecting plumbing. Importantly, the home is storm proof.
