About This Home
There are properties… and then there are places that change how you feel the moment you arrive.
Back to Earth Farm is one of those rare offerings.
Set across 111 pristine acres in the heart of North Carolina, this private, gated estate has been thoughtfully developed over more than a decade using regenerative, sustainable practices, creating a landscape that is as healthy as it is beautiful. Rolling pastures, mature forests, abundant water features, and internal roads come together as a fully realized, turnkey property—ready for its next steward.
At its core, this is a place designed for privacy, beauty, and possibility—whether as a luxury residence, working farm, retreat, or legacy family compound.
As central North Carolina continues to experience substantial growth and investment, properties of this scale, beauty, and privacy are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
THE LAND
The land is the true star of Back to Earth Farm—diverse, usable, and deeply peaceful.
• Uwharrie River frontage winding through the property
• ~ 2.4 - acre pond with dock and gazebo
• Gently rolling pastures + pine forests
• Partial perimeter and cross-fencing with water systems throughout
• Established orchard (apple, peach, pear)
• Extensive trail system for walking, riding, or exploring
• Internal road network for easy access across the entire property
• Managed for 13+ years using sustainable, regenerative practices
• Special Use permit for Weddings and Events
From open grazing land, forests and ponds, to shaded riverbanks, every part of the property feels intentional yet natural - designed to work with the land, not against it.
THE MAIN RESIDENCE
A beautifully updated home offering comfort, efficiency, and sweeping views.
• 3 Bedrooms 3 1/2 Bath | ~ 3,331 sq ft
• Expansive wrap-around porch overlooking pastures, ponds, and landscape
• Geothermal HVAC system for high-efficiency living
• 32 kw whole-house generator with automatic transfer switch
• Open living spaces with abundant natural light
• Seamless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining and relaxation
THE CABIN ON THE RIVER
Arguably the most special place on the property.
Tucked along the banks of the Uwharrie River, this ~1,322 sq ft handcrafted cabin offers a level of peace and connection that is increasingly rare. Enjoy the sound of the Uwharrie River as it passes over rocks, the stillness of the woods, and the elevated porch create an experience guests consistently describe as restorative.
• 1 Bedroom | Loft | 1 Bath
• Proven high-performing Airbnb with 5-star reputation
• Featured in national brand shoots and film projects
• Highly sought-after for retreats, photography, and private stays
Whether retained as a personal sanctuary or income-producing asset, the cabin stands in a category of its own.
ADDITIONAL RESIDENCES & STRUCTURES
Designed for flexibility, hosting, or multi-generational living.
• Farm Office/Guest Area (~1,200 sq ft, 2 room / 2 bath, kitchen, 2 LA's)
• Pool House (~264 sq ft with kitchen and 1/2 bath)
• Relaxing pool and outdoor living areas
• Two multi-purpose barns currently supporting farm operations
• Multiple support structures and utility features
INFRASTRUCTURE & IMPROVEMENTS
This is not raw land—it is a fully improved, highly functional property.
• Gated entrance with long, scenic drive
• Two water wells with access to a third well
• Like new perimeter fencing and cross fencing across property
• Water distribution systems and 9 drinkers across pastures
• Industrial-grade bridge over the river
• Fiber optic internet
• Extensive electrical and utility infrastructure
• Thoughtfully maintained and continuously improved
RECREATION & LIFESTYLE
Life at Back to Earth Farm extends far beyond the homes and structures—it is an immersive outdoor experience designed around nature, recreation, and connection to the land.
The property itself offers endless opportunities to explore and enjoy:
• Excellent deer, turkey, and wildlife habitat
• Fishing and kyaking in the private ~2.4-acre pond and along the Uwharrie River
• Internal roads and trails for walking, hiking, horseback riding, biking, or ATV use
• Peaceful riverfront areas ideal for relaxing, picnics, or simply disconnecting from the pace of everyday life
• Open pastures, wooded ridges, and scenic overlooks that create an ever-changing outdoor experience throughout the seasons.
Beyond the property, the surrounding region is known for its exceptional outdoor recreation and central North Carolina accessibility. Nearby attractions and activities include:
• The expansive Uwharrie National Forest with thousands of acres of hiking, camping, horseback riding, mountain biking, off-road trails, and outdoor adventure
• Popular ATV and off-road trail systems throughout the Uwharrie region
• Golf courses, lakes, rivers, and recreational destinations throughout the Piedmont Triad
• The world-renowned North Carolina Zoo, one of the largest natural habitat zoos in the world
• Easy access to North Carolina’s mountains, lakes, and coastal destinations for weekend travel
Whether the vision is a sporting retreat, equestrian property, family recreation estate, wellness retreat, or simply a private place to reconnect with nature, the land offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to replicate.
LOCATION
Private and peaceful—yet remarkably convenient.
• 10 minutes to Asheboro Regional Airport | Easy access for private planes
• 15 minutes to Asheboro (home to the North Carolina Zoo)
• 40 minutes to Greensboro, 55 minutes to Winston-Salem, with all the amenities of the Piedmont Triad area within close driving distance
• 1 hour 20 minutes to Charlotte
• 1 hour 30 minutes to Raleigh
• 3 hours to both mountains and beaches
LOCATION & GROWTH OPPORTUNITY
Beyond its natural beauty and privacy, Back to Earth Farm is positioned within one of North Carolina’s quietly emerging growth corridors. Asheboro and Randolph County are experiencing significant economic expansion driven by major regional investment, manufacturing growth, infrastructure improvements, and continued development throughout the Piedmont Triad region. Randolph County has attracted billions in announced investment and major job creation in recent years, including the nearby Toyota Battery Manufacturing development and other expanding employers throughout the region.
Asheboro’s population and the surrounding region continue to grow, while still maintaining the small-town character, natural beauty, and slower pace of life that make this area so desirable.
This unique combination of privacy, convenience, lifestyle appeal, and long-term regional growth makes Back to Earth Farm not only an extraordinary place to live—but also a compelling long-term investment in the heart of North Carolina.
A RARE OFFERING
Properties of this scale, quality, and intentional stewardship rarely come to market.
Back to Earth Farm is more than acreage—it is a complete experience. A place where the land has been cared for, the systems are in place, and the feeling is unmistakable.
Once you arrive… take a breath… and you’ll understand.
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY
For buyers seeking a truly turnkey operation, select farm equipment, infrastructure support items, and the farm’s cattle herd may also be available separately at an additional negotiated cost. This provides a rare opportunity to immediately continue stewardship and operation of the property with many essential systems already in place.
SHOWINGS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
