Garner, North Carolina Horse Farm

8521 Old Stage Road, Garner

$200,000

     This delightful older home has beautiful woodwork and hardwood floors through most of the main floor.  The bedrooms are large, and with the addition that was added, there is a large master closet and a separate laundry room/pantry that you don't find in most older homes.  The basement has a large rec room perfect for home schooling or gatherings.  You will also find a storm shelter in the basement, a wine celler, and a large workshop area.  If you like a home with a character all its own, and something different from your friends' homes, you will find this home suits the bill. 

     The horse barn has been used for storage for years.  It is in good condition.  It features two dutch doors and after cleanout and some fresh shavings, the barn will be ready for use.  There are two stalls and a tack room so it compliments the 3.7 acres of land.  You will need to add some fencing, but if you need somewhere for your horses quickly check with the neighbors.  They are looking forward to having some horses to look at again.

Keep your boots in shape

Empty Pringles cans are the perfect size to keep your tall boots standing when they are being stored.  (Enjoy the Pringles at a show and save the can for later!)

Searching for a Horse Farm

Searching for a North Carolina horse farm is difficult without an agent.  Finding homes with acreage is not easy on most sites.  If you find a real estate agent you are comfortable talking with they will be able to save you a lot of time, frustration, and gasoline.  If you get a good agent in one area, they can also help you find a competent agent in another area as well.

The multiple listing systems (MLS) of today are powerful enough to sort by acreage, house size, property zoning, restrictions, and more.  Although many websites have search capabilities such that you can see most of the homes currently on the market, the screening mechanisms vary from site to site.  With many MLS systems, your real estate agent can set up a custom search for you within a certain area with boundaries defined by you (like a certain number of miles from your work, activities, or church or within certain counties), and your price range clearly defined.  Add in the size of house you want and the number of acres of land you need and you get just the right farm or farmette for you.

Pittsboro/Siler City NC Horse Farm

          This North Carolina home is for sale.  It is located on Rives Chapel Church Road, between Pittsboro and Siler City, and has horsey neighbors all around it.  The home needs some personal touches and would be best suited for folks who wants to fix up a home to suit themselves.   It is already equipped with a ramp for a wheelchair or walker, and the inside is wheelchair friendly as well, with laminate floors and tile through most of the home, a roll under desk, wide doorways, and more.   

          The home has three bedrooms, a large kitchen with a family room nearby, and both a formal dining room and a formal living room.  The master bedroom is huge, as is the master bath and closet.  It is already painted with cheerful colors.  The home is all on one floor, so it is easy to move around.  One of the most interesting features is the room which was added for an indoor pool.  The pool would need some work to make it functional, but if the new owners don't care about a pool, by flooring over the pool, you could have an extraordinary game room or a perfect place for projection TVs, meetings, home schooling, quilting looms, art studios, or whatever your heart desires.

          This property is a future North Carolina horse farm. The nine acres of land are gently rolling with some cleared areas and some woods, but it needs fencing and a run-in shelter for the horses.  It has good screening from the road for privacy.  There are no restrictions on the property, so if you want goats to clear it for you, that should work.  A creek runs along one side, and the well is working, so there is water available.   The existing outbuilding has a room for a tack and equipment storage, in addition to a big workshop across one end, and a garage bay large enough for a big pickup truck.
