Turnkey Equestrian w/ Arena + Living Qtrs

Home Features

• The spacious 1,312 sq ft barndominium-style apartment has been recently renovated and offers a bright, open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area. The kitchen features a large breakfast bar, white cabinetry, beautiful granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances that convey. Formerly decorated as a four-bedroom layout, the space includes multiple flex rooms that can easily adapt to guest space, office use, or hobby rooms.
• A standout feature is the attached large 3-season room overlooking the pastures—an inviting place to relax or entertain. The apartment offers both front and rear entries, each connecting directly to the barn for exceptional convenience.
• Its highly flexible layout allows a portion of the apartment to be sectioned off for business use, complete with a direct view over the covered arena. Additional features include a walk-in laundry room, generous storage throughout, and an overall design that is exceptionally livable and versatile, suiting a wide range of needs.

Lot Features

• Spanning approximately 28 acres (with 26.37 net usable acres after utility right-of-way adjustments), this property offers an exceptional blend of horse-ready pastures, natural woodlands, and a beautiful pond, creating a versatile and highly desirable landscape. The majority of the acreage is flat and level, ideal for equestrian use, grazing, recreation, or future homesite development. Scattered wooded sections and a few gently non-level areas add texture and privacy without compromising the broad usability of the land. The overall aesthetic is striking: wide, cleared pastures framed by natural woodlands, with pockets of mature trees thoughtfully dispersed throughout the property.
• A large pond enhances the beauty and functionality of the land — perfect for livestock water, fishing, or simply enjoying the natural setting. The property also includes significant frontage along U.S. Highway 401, a major corridor connecting Raleigh, Wake Forest, Youngsville, and Louisburg. There is a deeded right-of-way that provides the potential for direct access to US-401 once improved or cleared, offering valuable flexibility for future uses.
• The surrounding area is experiencing notable growth. Franklin County’s population continues to rise, supported by expanding infrastructure, including the ongoing and planned widening projects along US-401 designed to accommodate increased residential and commercial development. Newer retail centers, restaurants, and modern conveniences have emerged nearby, illustrating the county’s upward trajectory and enhancing the appeal of this corridor.
• This property presents a rare combination of usable acreage, natural beauty, infrastructure proximity, and long-term upside. Whether envisioned as an equestrian estate, a private country retreat, a hobby farm, or a land-banking opportunity in a growth corridor, 100 Cedarwood Drive delivers versatility, value, and a setting that is both functional and picturesque.
