Picturesque Homestead in Carthage! This hunt box is nestled on 10.61 acres of fenced pasture, open pasture, woods and a shared pond. The 1/4 mile private driveway allows you to feel the seclusion as you escape to your dream home. With right under an acre fenced, one working stall and space for two additional stalls, a potting shed and a fenced garden area - your homestead dreams can be easily realized with this home. 1,485 square feet of custom living space including 3 bedrooms and 1 and a half baths. 1,584 square feet of covered porch with beautiful views of pastures and the pond, and a large back deck off the second level that is perfect for enjoying sunsets in the evening. The wooded area in the back has a well established trail and a regular running creek that will make you feel like you're miles away from everything, however the property is located only 5 minutes away from downtown Carthage where you can easily access all your local amenities. The pond is visible from the house and has plenty of bass, bluegill, turtles, and frogs. There is a wonderful beach area on the pond adjacent to a small finished cabin originally used for a schoolhouse but it can be transformed into a work-from-home office, she-shed, fishing cabin, etc to fit your needs. There is also a storage shed on the property, a tree house complete with climbing wall, slide and zip line, and a chicken coop located within the fenced pasture, providing fresh eggs daily. This location is zoned for the highly sought-after schools: Carthage Elementary, New Century Middle and Union Pines High School. The proximity to Union Church and 690 means the drive to the back gate of Ft. Bragg is only 25 miles away.
