Nestled on 26.9 picturesque acres beside Jordan Lake, this exceptional turnkey equestrian farm offers a truly rare opportunity, with convenient access to Downtown Raleigh and the heart of the Triangle. Properties with this combination of scale, access, setting and professional-grade horse facilities seldom come to market. Designed for both serious equestrian use and day-to-day efficiency, the farm is impeccably equipped. The main barn features 20+ stalls, a 4-stall grooming area, 2 large wash stalls with hot/cold water, tack room, feed room, office, second-floor office space which can be easily converted to living quarters. Its metal construction provides lasting durability with low maintenance. A secondary 4-stall Barnmaster barn and an additional 12'x32' pole barn offer flexible space for overflow, quarantine or specialized use. The 40'x20' hay barn and covered equipment bays adds even more functionality and storage. The riding amenities are equally impressive. A 175'x 120' covered arena with clear-span construction and full lighting allows for year-round riding and training in all weather conditions. A separate 250'x 150' fenced outdoor arena provides ample space for schooling, turnout, or events. Approximately 12 +/- acres of beautifully maintained paddocks with wood fencing reflect the same level of care seen throughout the property. The residence is comfortable, inviting, and well-suited to the farm, with newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, an open-concept kitchen, spacious primary suite with private bath, gas fireplace, 2-car garage, and a walk-up attic that offers excellent storage and could be readily converted into additional bedrooms and living space, as the home is permitted for 4 bedrooms. While the true standout here is the first-class equestrian infrastructure and irreplaceable setting, the home provides an attractive living space for owners, trainers, or managers. In addition, a second homesite has been identified on the property for a new 5-bedroom residence, offering valuable future expansion potential. The location is what makes this offering truly one of a kind. With Highway 64 frontage and easy access, the property directly adjoins U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land at Jordan Lake, creating a remarkable sense of privacy and natural beauty that is nearly impossible to replicate. Enjoy the convenience of being close to Wake County and the broader Raleigh-Durham market while benefiting from Chatham County taxes. A long gravel drive leads to the facility, where expansive level gravel parking accommodates trailers, clients, and guests with ease. Whether preserved as a premier equestrian facility or adapted to suit a buyer's own vision -- from a private estate to other recreational or lifestyle uses -- this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully improved property in an extraordinary setting.
