Nestled in the heart of Warren County, NC and Lake Country, Five Forks Farm is a one-of-a-kind estate that seamlessly blends history, privacy, and modern luxury. Known affectionately by locals for the wonderful bluegrass concerts the owners would arrange, this extraordinary property spans a breathtaking multi-acre landscape with lush pastures, mature oak groves, and meticulously preserved historic structures. Whether you dream of a working farm, equestrian retreat, or private sanctuary, Five Forks Farm offers endless possibilities.
The land boasts a stunning oak grove, a 2+ acre fenced pasture for livestock, and an additional well for gardening. Several historic structures--including a log tobacco curing shed, ax-hewn corn cribs, storage barn, and 1700-1800's era cook & wash house --add unparalleled character. The cookhouse has been thoughtfully renovated into a charming cottage, featuring one bedroom, a full bath, a cozy living room/kitchenette area, and an upstairs loft sleeping space. Adding to its charm, the cottage also includes a private outdoor shower, offering a unique and refreshing way to connect with nature. Whether used for guests, rental income, or a personal retreat, this cottage is a true gem.
For those needing workspace or storage, the impressive 40' x 36' barn with a poured slab offers versatility for a workshop, horse stables, or equipment storage. Designed to complement the main home, it features cement siding, a standing seam metal roof, a covered deck, a heated/cooled room, a workshop, and loft space. A fenced-in area for goats extends from the barn, and a custom-designed, fully functional chicken coop is currently in operation.
One of the standout features of this estate is the extensive paver patio area, which surrounds a stunning in-ground saltwater swimming pool. Perfect for entertaining or unwinding, this outdoor oasis is designed for relaxation year-round, enhanced by garden areas with various planted treasures.
The home itself is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Expansive porches--including a 40' x 10' main front porch, two private bedroom porches, and a spacious 750 SF rear porch--offer perfect spots to take in the peaceful surroundings.
Inside, warmth and charm abound with 6'' pine wood floors finished in English Chestnut, soaring ceilings (up to 10.5'), and farmhouse-style trim throughout. The 54 low-E glass windows flood the space with natural light, while custom features include a site-built fireplace mantel, stunning staircase, and built-in display shelves.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, custom cabinetry with soft-close drawers, a farmhouse sink, leathered granite countertops, and a stunning stained wood beadboard ceiling. A vintage-inspired half bath, laundry room with dual electric panels, and pre-wiring for security cameras add modern convenience.
Retreat to one of two luxurious packhouse style master bedroom quarters, each offering exposed beams, private porches, and spacious walk-in closets.
