From the moment you enter the gates and cruise the quarter of a mile oak tree lined drive you will see that Old Homestead is one of a kind. The 100-acre southern estate is adorned by ''Old Live Oaks'' that date back 250 years. This once Southern Plantation from the 1800's now features a stately main residence built in 1988. The house features an oversized rocking chair front porch, formal and family areas with a vaulted family room w/exposed beam accents. The master wing is located on the main level & the guest suites are on the second story. One of the main focal points on Old Homestead is the 16-stall horse barn that was repurposed and is currently used as a ''Wedding Venue.'' The horse barn venue opened in 2018 and includes 4500 square feet of climate-controlled area with all the special touches that make any wedding a once in a life-time experience. Attention to detail was at the forefront with barn door accents, stack stone fireplace & catering kitchen to name a few. Attached is a one-bedroom bridal suite to be used the day of the special event as well as a free standing 15X30 grooms cabin. For the horse enthusiast a custom 9 stall horse stable w/5 additional exterior stalls are on site. 20 acres of pasture are broken into 11 paddock areas w/water, 3 rail horse fencing and interior gates for easy equine rotation. A 160X220 exterior riding arena & a 110X220 covered single span riding arena, both w/lights was once used for local, state and regional equine events. On site you will also find an outside covered grilling cabana w/2 Wilmington Grills & fireplace. Mirror image is an enclosed concession area & additional covered seating perfect for any outside gathering under the ''Old Live Oaks.'' For the outdoor enthusiast, 2 stocked fish-ponds, ATV riding, hunting Turkey and Deer in season. Great horseback riding on sites w/trails. This southern estate is only 20 minutes from Wrightsville Beach/Wilmington & easy access from I-40 to Raleigh and the mountains.
