This 3.225 acre property consists of two parcels. The 6859 New Hope Rd parcel has a brick veneer, 3 bed, 2 bath home of 1284 sq. ft. with a 2-car, insulated, attached garage. The second parcel is 0.908 acre 6320 Lanier Hill Rd. Asking price of the two parcel is $309,000. The parcels will not be sold separately. The property is in a rural area of central North Carolina zoned agricultural.

The entire property is fenced, and largely electrified, capable of containing any farm animal you want. An interior portion is also fenced to keep the animals and deer out and to provide protected space for up to a one-third acre garden. In addition this fenced area contains established blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, a grape and muscadine vineyard, two mature apple trees (gala and Rome) and almost 150 ft. of mature asparagus bed. Garden soil has been amended with truckloads of vegetable and hardwood compost and ten years of free-ranging chickens. The property has one well in use, and a second well as reserve or for irrigation. An all-weather creek runs about one-third mile from the property. In addition to the garden area, part of the land is devoted to fruit and nut trees including mature apples, pears, peaches, pecans and more. Various culinary and medicinal herbs, and edible plants complement the landscape. The garden and fruit growing areas are maintained largely organic, except for the record-keeping. A limited amount of non-glyphosate weed killer has been used along fence lines, but normally is torched or trimmed with a weed-eater. Sevin is used occasionally, primarily for Japanese beetle control.

Outbuildings galore. The largest is 12 X 28 ft with two windows and double doors. Another is 12 X 24 ft with double doors opening from a concrete ramp for outdoor power equipment to roll in. Both outbuildings have metal roofs, vinyl siding, and electric power. Then there is an 8 X 20 ft. woodshed, a 10 X 10 ft. lean-to, a 10 X 10 ft and 5 X 10 ft kennel, and a 10 X 10 ft custom-made chicken coop, complete with power, loft storage area, roost bars, ten nest boxes for laying hens, and solar-operated chicken door.
