This stunning equestrian estate brings an air of old world craftmanship to our modern day. The home was built in 2007 to look like an 18th century European mansion. Every detail has a special story that integrates pieces of family history with old world charm. As you walk through the exquisite handmade front door, you are greeted with a pure silver chandelier and sconces that are family heirlooms. The flooring throughout the home is wide plank and a combination of pine, walnut and oak. The stairs that lead to the second floor are purported to be from Dartmouth College. The fireplace in the family room is an 18th century replica of a Chatsworth House in England. The fireplace in the library boasts 18th century French marble. The hardware on doors and windows are antique, many from the 17th and 18th century. Diamond pain and stained glass windows were reclaimed from historic properties. The spacious primary suite is on the second floor and boasts his and hers closets and large bathroom with soaking tub. The sitting room with a surround of windows, gives you the feeling that you are sitting in the forest enjoying all that nature has to share. The kitchen is a chefs dream with a 6 burner Viking range, large center island and a butler's pantry. The property is just over 10 acres and includes three lush pastures and a 4 stall barn with center aisle. The barn has a one bedroom apartment upstairs and a studio apartment downstairs, perfect for guests or a farm manager. The Walter Moss Foundation and the trails around Weymouth Woods are a short hack. The location of this property is fantastic, offering seclusion in the heart of horse country, while being only a few minutes to all that downtown Southern Pines has to offer. Note. The septic permit for the house was originally submitted for a two bedroom home. This was not changed when a larger home was built. There is a room upstairs that has been used as a third bedroom.
