This is a rare estate offering: a distinguished French Colonial manor designed by William McKnight Bowman set on approximately 15.65 acres that directly borders the protected Walthour‑Moss Foundation. The main residence (about 5,358 SF) is complemented by a striking 2,100 SF pool house, together yielding roughly 7,490 SF of living and entertaining space. Quality materials and thoughtful details define the property: a classic slate roof, original Crab Orchard tile at the grand entry, three fireplaces, elegant proportioned rooms, and a greenhouse that adjoins the primary suite corridor.
The pool house is more than a cabana — it’s a fully programmed outbuilding with a great room anchored by a stone-faced wood-burning fireplace, a generous kitchen, two bedrooms, two baths, dressing rooms and a laundry area. Outside, a gunite pool with tile surround and mature plantings create an immediate outdoor oasis. A private pond and miles of conservation trails at your property line expand the usable landscape for riding, walking, and birding.
Modern mechanical upgrades make the home easy to own today: three heat pumps with new ductwork (2022), a hardwired full-house generator installed in 2024, and a 1,000‑gallon propane tank for fuel reliability. The absence of a recorded attached garage presents an opportunity to site a barn or shop without disturbing the main estate composition — ideal for buyers seeking equestrian facilities, additional guest quarters, or a carriage house.
Located minutes from downtown Southern Pines’ dining and cultural offerings and a short drive to Pinehurst’s world-class golf venues, this property uniquely blends historic architectural pedigree with turnkey systems and exceptional acreage.
