Ideal for riders seeking a low-maintenance, high-functioning set up: Run-ins, sandy soil, 2 separate barns - for quarantine or foaling. Space and accommodations for every equestrian discipline. Classic Sandhills terrain combined with a charming French Country cottage and multiple outbuildings. Enjoy all that horse country has to offer and still be close to vibrant downtown Southern Pines, all of the golf and resort amenities of Pinehurst and easy access to RDU and the Research Triangle or Fort Bragg and AAFs Mackall and Pope. Maresfield offers 3 fenced pastures - each with a run in shed - all designed with gates to allow for seamless transitions from one to the next; and a training ring. There are 5 stalls attached to the residence as well as a tack room, large office and storage room. The home offers a flexible and light-filled layout. The spacious great room serves as the heart of the house, connecting to an open loft area above. This loft, which features a striking beamed vaulted ceiling, was previously used as the primary bedroom, providing flexible space for a variety of needs. Designed with entertaining in mind, the great room has a wood burning fireplace and opens gracefully through French doors to a welcoming patio, creating an inviting flow for gatherings or relaxation. There are many mature fruit trees across the property, as well as walled gardens ready to be brought back to life. This is a rare property ready for its next chapter.
