About the property

Equestrian-Ready 11.47-Acre Ranch with Renovated Barn & Guest Suite

This thoughtfully updated ranch sits on a usable 11.47-acre parcel on Bulb Road and offers an exceptional blend of quality finishes and true equestrian functionality. The 2,185 sq ft single-level home (built 1999) has been maintained with intention — refinished Douglas fir pine floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings and hand-finished pine trim give the interior a warm, crafted character. The living spaces flow to a covered porch and Massaranduba deck with professionally installed paver walkways that make outdoor entertaining and monitoring animals effortless.

A standout for horse owners: the recently renovated barn (~1,622 sq ft) contains four stalls with padded mats, a concrete central aisle, covered outside access and modern LED lighting and fans. A separate, fully equipped 426 sq ft living quarter with a bedroom/living area, kitchenette and full bath provides immediate housing for a trainer, guest or rental income. The property includes a septic permit for three bedrooms (the loft in the house/barn could function as a third bedroom subject to final approvals) and a built-in generator to keep operations running in any weather.

Practical refinements — durable decking, professional hardscaping, dedicated feed/storage areas and organized barn systems — position this parcel for immediate use as a private equestrian retreat, small boarding operation, or family compound. With acreage that supports turnout and training and finishes that appeal to buyers seeking a turnkey package, this property is rare for the Triad market.

Showings are by appointment. Bring your equestrian plans and a checklist: this property is well-equipped for private enjoyment and for buyers who want a property that’s ready for horses and flexible income uses.

Editorial market perspective

Rural Guilford County and the broader Triad market continue to attract buyers seeking larger lots within commuting distance of Greensboro and High Point. While the overall Triad market has cooled from the peak frenzy, inventory for specialized properties—acreage with equestrian infrastructure—remains limited. Median single-family prices in the county are substantially lower than this property's list price, so marketing should target a regional niche: equestrian owners, hobby farmers, buyers relocating from higher-cost urban centers, and investors seeking unique rentals. Expect a slightly longer marketing horizon than a typical subdivision home, but strong buyer interest when presented to the right channels (regional equestrian groups, targeted broker tours and lifestyle marketing).
