Description

Nestled within The Fields, one of North Carolina's most beautiful equestrian lifestyle communities -- recently ranked 5th nationally and 1st in North Carolina by R.J. Classics -- this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of refined country living and premier horse amenities. Established in 2006, The Fields is an exclusive 37-lot equestrian community designed for those who appreciate the peaceful Southern Pines horse country lifestyle, whether you own horses or simply enjoy being surrounded by them. Residents enjoy communal access to over 10 miles of private riding trails, full-size dressage and jump arenas, a driving arena with obstacles, cross-country course, and a 1-kilometer metered track. Conveniently located in Cameron, just 22 minutes from downtown Southern Pines, 23 minutes from Pinehurst Village, and approximately one hour from Raleigh-Durham International Airport, the property is also ideally situated near Carolina Horse Park and the renowned Walthour-Moss Foundation trail system. Private and secluded, the property backs directly to a private riding trail along the fern-lined beauty of Cranes Creek, offering direct ride-out access into the community trail system. Designed with both equestrian functionality and comfortable living in mind, the property features a beautifully appointed 4-stall center aisle barn with direct walk-outs to individual paddocks, an interior hot/cold water wash stall, and thoughtfully designed horse accommodations ideal for everyday riding and care. An additional detached two-car garage provides excellent storage space for vehicles, equipment, or workshop use. Thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained, the home showcases extensive custom improvements throughout. The beautifully renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash with decorative accent detail behind the stove, custom vent hood, stainless steel gas appliances, Blanco White Diamond Silgranit double sink, built-in microwave, custom open shelving with under-cabinet lighting, shiplap accents, abundant cabinetry, pull-out drawers, pantry storage systems, and newly installed hardwood flooring. The open-concept design was enhanced by removing a large wall section and adding extensive counter seating and cabinetry for effortless entertaining. The spacious primary suite has been transformed into a luxurious retreat with a walk-in tiled shower and glass enclosure, granite countertops, updated lighting and mirrors, tile flooring, sliding barn door entry, enclosed water closet with pocket door, and redesigned bedroom layout for improved functionality and natural light. Additional updates include a beautifully enhanced secondary bath with tile flooring and a versatile third bedroom currently utilized as a private office featuring custom built-ins, shelving, and a striking brick accent wall. Outdoor living spaces are equally impressive, highlighted by dual second-story porches flanking a stunning Carolina Room -- one screened and one open air -- overlooking 4 lush pastures, gardens, and fire pit area, complete with wood ceiling, recessed lighting, and ceiling fan. Pennsylvania Bluestone accents the front porch, while extensive landscaping enhancements include hydrangeas, drift roses, hostas, peach trees, maple trees, irrigated planting beds, decorative berms, pergola accents, custom post-and-beam fencing, party lighting, and a fenced dog pasture. Additional features include an energy-efficient geothermal HVAC system, fiber optic internet direct to the house ideal for remote professionals and streaming/security systems, water filtration system, tankless hot water system, new 2026 well pump and renovated well house, climate-controlled storage room, workshop space, built-in shelving, and extensive irrigation improvements. Rarely does a property offer this combination of luxury living, direct trail access, premier equestrian amenities, and proximity to Southern Pines and Pinehurst.
