Lot Features

Comprehensive Water Well (3) system: 1. The Main well is 640 feet deep, and provides water to the main house and the detached apartment. The well power is powered by normal purchased electricity, but is housed on a backed-up circuit panel that simultaneously transfers to solar generated and battery backed-up power in the event of a power loss.
2. The Ranch Home well is approximately 250 deep and provides water to the ranch house, barn and remote faucet head near the front gate. This well is housed in a matching and adorable water well shack on the property.
3. The Manual “back-up” well is approximately 250 deep and located within 50 yards of the main house, is operated by a red handle and guarantees water availability in the event of a complete and sustained power loss.
Solar Panel System: The sophisticated solar panel system ensures a source of power is always available forunplanned disruptions, whether short term or sustained emergencies. The system has roof-mounted solar panels, and battery back-up system located in the Main House garage. The 40 panels are located as follows:
⇒ 24 panels on the Apartment Roof that send all Photovoltaic energy produced down through a conduit and over to the main house.
⇒ 16 panels on the Main House Roof that feed into the main house also.
The system generates power and is aligned with the local power utility, Pee Dee Electric, and engages in a “net-metering” arrangement allowing for excess power to be sold back to the utility when production exceeds real-time Main House demands, and the batteries are fully charged. (The solar panels only benefit the main house) The main house is sustainable with a full power outage, except for the washer/dryer and HVAC, controlled from a separate panel box.
The Solar Panel System provide a reduction in required power purchase from Pee Dee, and provide an immediate backup power source for essential items (water well, fridge, lights, etc) in the event of a power outage.
All 40 panels feed photovoltaic-based power into the main house system in the following manner:
1. Supply real-time power demands in the Main House, then…
2. Recharge battery backup system, housed in the garage, then…
3. Sell excess production back to Pee Dee Electric in a net-metering agreement.
4. As preventive maintenance, the panels are inspected once a year by the installer, Pure Power.
Modern Geothermal HVAC: The Main House is heated and cooled by an energy efficient Geothermal HVAC system. The system utilizes an expansive pipe system, called “closed loop fields”, which each run about 250 feet long and sit in the property’s back pasture. Through the movement of fluid within these pipes through the Main House HVAC unit, located in the crawlspace, the heating and cooling of air is efficient and requires far less electricity.
Septic System: The four main structures are supported by four separate septic systems including: main house, ranch house, the apartment and the barn. The septic system was pumped when the house was initially purchased and again a couple years ago, and share a leaching field. The ranch house has a separate leaching field, and was pumped. The final septic system supports the barn.
Charming Pond: The pond provides an additional source of water, scenic beauty, and plenty of family fun! For fishing, the pond was stocked in the past with catfish and bass. The small rowboat, currently on the pond, conveys with the property, and is a wonderful source of exercise and peaceful fun!

Horse Facility Features

Barn: The 120 ft long, 4378 sq ft barn currently has ten working stalls, but capacity for more. Inside the barn on the left is a big open area that has tools and shelves and could be an additional two stalls. On the right side there is room for an additional four, although the new owner would need to build the additional six stalls. The barn has four additional rooms with doors; bathroom w/shower, office, and storage (2). The outside rear of the barn has a fully fenced-in enclosure that could be used for chickens, planting boxes, and multiple creative uses.
Two Horse Shelters: Located in close proximity to the horse riding arena and the large Red Barn, the property has two red run-in horse shelters. These three-sided buildings provide a natural refuge for horses during inclement weather as an inexpensive extension of the barn. Free-choice access to a run-in shelter means that many horses can be left outside in all seasons, saving the expense of bedded stalls inside the barn.
Fenced Horse Arena: A large, picturesque horse arena, located only meters from the barn, provides a controlled, easily monitored and maintained location to ensure optimal stability and safe terrain for training and lessons. The arena reduces horse distractions and result in fewer injuries, better concentration and outcomes.
