1205 Pennington Rd., Albemarle, NC 28001

Several years ago, a young aspiring and self-reliant family had a dream. They wanted their children to thrive and explore nature. They traded in conventional life for one that celebrates local food and the land it comes from. They successfully set out to restore this circa-1940s cottage farmhouse near downtown Albemarle NC and convert the land into a sustainable organic small homestead - fresh eggs, heirloom tomatoes, and blueberries too numerous to harvest. The land offers open pasture spaces and forest with a seasonal creek. Fruit trees. Grape trellis. Wired greenhouse, chicken coop, and metal workshop. They worked hard to create rich raised bed gardens. Beautiful flowering trees and bushes surround the home including dogwoods, azaleas, and peonies. The current owners are relocating to another state. A new story is ready to begin, bring your animals, bee hives and plenty of canning jars. Stainless refrig stays. New stainless dishwasher. New HVAC. Totally updated electrical service.
