About this property
Relax in an upscale, renovated gem
Enjoy your stay at this beautifully updated, authentic farm home. It sits on 21.5 tranquil acres, 10 miles north of quaint Hillsborough, NC. Original charm + top get away amenities include magazine-styled chefs' kitchen & updated baths that are balanced in delightful simplicity for you to enjoy your stay. 2 porches + large patio!
There's a one-mile walking trail around the property with a forest, beaver pond, river, field, and bridges. The Audubon Society awarded this a bird-friendly environment and identified numerous birds and local plants.
The property is fenced. Feel free to explore all 21 acres. Wear bug spray and check for ticks after hiking.
We're available if needed. Please feel free to call or text Sue with any questions.
Surrounded by farms and farmers. Pick your own Muscadine grapes at Parker Farm (Laws Store Road), stop by Botany & Barrel for brewed cider (Hwy 86), bring your bikes and tour the scenic roads. 5 miles to newly re-opened Farm and Garden on Hwy 86. 10 miles to quaint Hillsborough for the 8am-noon Saturday farmers market plus walk the Hillsborough River Walk Trail along the Eno River for miles. Additionally, Poets Walk at Ayr Mount a historic landmark site. So much to enjoy!
Ample open air parking on the circular drive for two cars along with one Level 2 charger for Tesla with adapter, or other EV's. One walking stick available, feel free to borrow; or, use the yellow umbrella in the laundry room. There's also sun screen and bug spray if needed, help yourself. Most nights, lightning bugs can be see from the porches or patio and occasionally the hoots from two barred owls along with all sorts of frogs in the distance (there's a beaver dam). Additional area sites and features are found in the guest book.
Close to stores, wedding venues, polo club, and dining adventures.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Montpetit
Mike and I enjoy travel and have worked in office environments for most of our careers and was the need to open our farm to others like us, in need of a respit. Farming has been part of our families history for generations. Mike and I started (salvaged) this one to continue our quest to be good stewards of our surroundings and share this with others.
Why they chose this property
After searching for over 20 years, multiple states, this land and home struck a chord with us. The rolling topography, old beaver dam, smattering of outbuildings and a humble 'Carolina T House' is everything we had hoped for. Through it, we pay homage to those who worked the land before us and complement it with a touch of modern updating. Actually, enhanced modern conveniences coupled with simple pleasures is what this home and setting is all about. We love to share this is everyone!
What makes this property unique
Enjoy today's rustic charm of a cedar clad original footprint farm house that took 3 years to bring it back from the brink of demolition to its pristine condition today. When you truly want to sit quietly and absorb the complete serenity of over 100 years of 'being' this home and setting now provides just that. With a short walk past the original oak corn crib to the fern valley of the Little River (it's a creek) and across the bridge to the open field or adjacent trail along the perimeter; it all encourages simple-ness, quiet reflection, soft walking, deep breathing. When back at the home, pick up a book, settle in with some tea and let time drift by.
