About This Home

One of North Carolina's most recognized historic estates and former destination wedding venues. Originally built in 1910, this extraordinary property blends timeless Southern architecture with exceptional hospitality potential. Once home to unforgettable weddings, elegant celebrations, overnight guests, and corporate gatherings, the estate now presents a rare opportunity for a new owner to revive an iconic venue or create an entirely new vision. Following the COVID shutdown, the property has undergone more than $80,000 in recent improvements and is positioned for its next chapter. Whether your dream is to own a luxury wedding venue, boutique inn, private club, corporate retreat, restaurant, or one-of-a-kind estate, opportunities like this rarely become available. The Preston Woodhall House has not operated since Covid in 2021. No financial records from 2022 - Current.
