Approx. 25 ACRES | ORANGE COUNTY, NC | $575,777.00 The homestead you've been looking for may already be started. If you've spent the last few years saving restored farmhouse inspiration, dreaming about horses outside your kitchen window, or searching "acreage near Hillsborough" - this is worth a closer look. THE LAND 2822 Little River Church Road in Hurdle Mills offers 25 beautiful acres combining open pasture, mature hardwoods, privacy, and existing homestead infrastructure - all just 12-15 minutes from downtown Hillsborough. With a peaceful rural setting, a mix of open and wooded acreage, and key improvements already in place, this property offers a rare opportunity to create a private country retreat, working homestead, or equestrian property without sacrificing convenient access to town. A natural stream corridor runs through the wooded portion of the property, well away from the established homesite improvements and a 3.25 (+/-)-acre field parcel, accessible by a manicured trail- adds privacy, wildlife habitat, and another layer of separation from the outside world. You get the quiet of country living without feeling disconnected. Approximately: 15 minutes to downtown Hillsborough 25 minutes to Chapel Hill 35 minutes to Durham and RTP 45 minutes to RDU Airport Convenient access to I-40 and I-85 THE INFRASTRUCTURE This is where this property separates itself from raw land. Much of the expensive, time-consuming groundwork of creating a rural homestead has already been started: County-approved 4-bedroom septic permit from Orange County Environmental Existing well with updated pump and filtration system High-speed fiber internet at the property 330-gallon underground propane tank is owned, not leased. Existing electricity and utility runs. Established driveway and homesite. Instead of buying raw acreage and beginning with permits, utilities, water and infrastructure, you're starting several steps ahead. THE FARMHOUSE At the heart of the property sits a 1912 farmhouse, taken down to the studs and ready for its next chapter. Restore it and preserve its original wood beams, heritage details and three original fireplaces - or explore the opportunity to replace it with the custom home you've always wanted to build, subject to applicable approvals. Either way, the setting is already here. THE HOMESTEAD The property also includes: 30' x 22' two-stall barn with tack and feed room Fenced paddock. Existing perimeter wood fencing. Newly built chicken coop with capacity for up to 100 chickens. 35' x 24' detached workshop/garage with electricity and running water. Double driveway. Approximately 8 parking spaces. Room for trucks, trailers and equipment. The workshop offers possibilities for equipment storage, woodworking, an art studio, hobby space, home-based business or the project garage you've never had room for. WHO IS THIS FOR? The homesteader who wants real acreage in Orange County without starting with a completely blank piece of land. The equestrian buyer that is looking for pasture, paddocks, fencing and a barn already in place. The custom-home buyer who wants privacy and acreage while remaining close to Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Durham and RTP. The preservation-minded buyer who sees what a 1912 Orange County farmhouse could become. And the land buyer who understands how difficult it is to recreate 25 acres with this combination of location, infrastructure and existing improvements. A NOTE ON FINANCING Because of the nature of the property and the current condition of the farmhouse, it is best suited for cash, construction loan or land-loan financing. Local lenders experienced with properties like this are available upon request. 25 acres. Orange County. $575,777.00 You could buy raw land and spend the next few years creating the infrastructure. Or you could start here. Some properties you buy. This one, you build a life on.
