About This Home

Deadline - Monday, Nov 24 at 4pm for offers! Discover Many Rivers Farm, a 24±-acre working orchard surrounded on two sides by the shimmering waters of the Little River Reservoir—a landscape of open skies, mature fruit trees, and serene waterfront views. This established U-pick apple and peach farm features over forty-seven apple varieties, peach, pear, blueberry and blackberry plants in well-tended, attractively spaced rows—an ideal foundation for continued agricultural use, agritourism, or expansion into an event venue. Manyriversfarm.com. Near the water views of the property sits a 1,888 sq. ft. 3 bedroom, 3 full bath, Modernist home designed by acclaimed architect George Matsumoto in 1954 and relocated here in 2001 by Ellen Cassilly. The home's signature clean lines, walls of glass, and thoughtful proportions are complemented by cork flooring and functional updates. Designed for modern comfort, it lives beautifully as a residence, rental, or on-site management retreat. Visitors are welcomed by a charming walk-up farm store and picnic area, connected by a well-maintained driveway and ample parking. The land slopes gently toward the water, offering sweeping reservoir vistas and a natural setting ideal for outdoor gatherings, weddings, or future custom construction on an additional homesite. Located only 20 minutes north of Downtown Durham, 20 minutes to Hillsborough, and 35 minutes to RDU International Airport, Many Rivers Farm offers a unique balance of privacy, accessibility, and proven agricultural success. Lake Michie and the Flat and Eno Rivers are just a few minutes away. Opportunities like this are rare—come experience Many Rivers Farm and see its full potential before it's gone.
