25 ACRES | ORANGE COUNTY, NC | $575,777.00 The homestead you've been looking for may already be started. If you've spent the last few years saving restored farmhouse inspiration, dreaming about horses outside your kitchen window, or searching "acreage near Hillsborough"—this is worth a closer look. THE LAND 2822 Little River Church Road in Hurdle Mills offers 25 beautiful acres combining open pasture, mature hardwoods, privacy, and existing homestead infrastructure—all just 12-15 minutes from downtown Hillsborough. With a peaceful rural setting, a mix of open and wooded acreage, and key improvements already in place, this property offers a rare opportunity to create a private country retreat, working homestead, or equestrian property without sacrificing convenient access to town. A natural stream corridor runs through the wooded portion of the property, well away from the established homesite improvements and a 3.25 (+/-)-acre field parcel, accessible by a manicured trail—adds privacy, wildlife habitat, and another layer of separation from the outside world. You get the quiet of country living without feeling disconnected. Approximately: 15 minutes to downtown Hillsborough 25 minutes to Chapel Hill 35 minutes to Durham and RTP 45 minutes to RDU Airport Convenient access to I-40 and I-85 THE INFRASTRUCTURE This is where this property separates itself from raw land. Much of the expensive, time-consuming groundwork of creating a rural homestead has already been started: County-approved 4-bedroom septic permit from Orange County Environmental Existing well with updated pump and filtration system High-speed fiber internet at the property 330-gallon underground propane tank—owned, not leased Existing electricity and utility runs Established driveway and homesite Instead of buying raw acreage and beginning with permits, utilities, water and infrastructure, you're starting several steps ahead. THE FARMHOUSE At the heart of the property sits a 1912 farmhouse, taken down to the studs and ready for its next chapter. Restore it and preserve its original wood beams, heritage details and three original fireplaces—or explore the opportunity to replace it with the custom home you've always wanted to build, subject to applicable approvals. Either way, the setting is already here. THE HOMESTEAD The property also includes: 30' x 22' two-stall barn with tack and feed room Fenced paddock Existing perimeter wood fencing Newly built chicken coop with capacity for up to 100 chickens 35' x 24' detached workshop/garage with electricity and running water Double driveway Approximately 8 parking spaces Room for trucks, trailers and equipment The workshop offers possibilities for equipment storage, woodworking, an art studio, hobby space, home-based business or the project garage you've never had room for.
