Description

This one-of-a-kind 59.09-acre property in southwest Randolph County combines a custom brick home with the timber, water, and seclusion that make this part of North Carolina so sought after. A private gated drive leads you back to the home, set well off the road for privacy and security. Properties that pair a home of this caliber with this much acreage, river frontage, and privacy rarely come to market in this area.

Built in 1997, the custom 4,700 sq ft brick home offers 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, with generous living space throughout. The great room is anchored by a rock fireplace built from native North Carolina stone. The large, open kitchen and sitting area features Corian countertops, oak cabinets, and warm brick walls, making it the natural gathering place of the home. A first-level in-law suite is ideal for extended family or long-term guests. A beautiful sunroom with an adjoining bath brings the outdoors in. A new heat pump on the first level and an attached 2-car garage add everyday comfort and convenience.

The outbuildings add serious flexibility. A 21' x 41' detached brick studio/workshop is ready to become a home office, artist’s studio, or hobby shop. A 12' x 28' outbuilding provides additional storage for equipment, tools, or toys. Down by the water, the remnants of two old cabins from years gone by stand on either side of the river’s edge. They are not habitable in their current condition, but the new owner can determine if they want to breathe new life into them.

The land is almost entirely wooded, with a mix of pine, mature hardwoods, and thick river-bottom cover that provides outstanding habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. The West Fork of the Little River winds through the property from west to east, adding natural beauty, and a reliable water source for wildlife. A partial conservation easement along both banks protects the river and keeps that corridor natural and undisturbed for generations to come. With excellent hunting and fishing right out your back door, this property is equally suited as a full-time residence, a family retreat, or a long-term land investment.

The area itself carries a rich history. The Seagrove area is the official State Birthplace of North Carolina Traditional Pottery. Potters have worked the region’s clay-rich soil since the mid-1700s, when the Great Wagon Road brought settlers and travelers through the community, and Native Americans made pottery here for thousands of years before that. Today, Seagrove is known as the handmade pottery capital of the United States, with one of the largest concentrations of working potters in the country. Just a few miles from the property, the Birkhead Mountains Wilderness in the Uwharrie National Forest offers hiking and backcountry access in one of the oldest mountain ranges in North America.

Land with this combination of home, timber, river frontage, and history doesn’t come along often. Schedule your private showing today!
