Farm-to-table living meets classic Chapel Hill charm! Grow your own food. Gather with friends. Live a little closer to the land. A distinctive opportunity, right in the heart of Chapel Hill. Discover the possibilities of sustainable living, homesteading, and micro-farming on 2.53 thoughtfully cultivated acres, just 3.5 miles from UNC… Read More Hospitals and the University campus. Whether envisioning a berry farm, cut-flower operation, small orchard, or simply enjoying the rewards of growing your own food, this established micro-farm offers a rare opportunity to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Custom-built as the private residence of Buckner Steel founder Eddie Williams, this beautifully renovated 1960s ranch blends era character with modern comforts. Spacious one-story living features 4 designated bedrooms*, 2.5 baths, two gas-log fireplaces, a light-filled second living room off of the dining space overlooking the fenced back yard, and a newer primary suite addition with dual closets, dual vanities, tiled walk-in shower, and separate jetted tub. New hardwood floors grace the living areas, dining room, and bedrooms - a zero carpet home! The kitchen features a gas range, separate wall oven, tile flooring, granite counters, and dual pantries, perfectly suited for preparing meals harvested just steps from your door. An additional full bath could potentially be restored near the laundry area, where original plumbing remains in place. Once an established berry & egg micro-farm, this property features two hoop houses, raised garden beds, fruit trees, berry bushes, crop irrigation, a barn, chicken coop, and a roadside farm stand equipped with modern refrigeration. Protective 8-foot fencing surrounds the crop area, while separate fencing distinguishes the residential yard from the farming operation. An expansive shelter-covered entertaining deck features ceiling fans and storage, just steps from the rear patio - making an exceptional setting for celebrations, outdoor dining, or sharing the season's harvest with family and friends. Located in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school district, mere minutes from Southern Village, Carolina Meadows, and Finley Golf Club, with convenient access to downtown Chapel Hill, Pittsboro, shopping, medical facilities, and major highways including 15-501, NC 54/86, and I-40. Approximately 25 minutes to RDU International Airport. *Property offers four designated bedrooms; septic system is permitted for three bedrooms. Farm and commercial uses subject to applicable zoning and permitting requirements. Read Less
