Rental price is for the 3-Bedroom, 1-Bath 1500 square foot home on “mini homestead” in the Chapel Hill / Saxapahaw area (9 miles west of Carrboro). Peaceful spot connected to many miles of wooded walking trails and working farmland including fruit and nut trees. Enjoy the breeze and stunning views in all directions in this very special community in southwest Orange County. At a minimum, rental includes mature trees and meadowed area around the home, a fenced dog run attached to the house, and covered carport. On the same parcel, our family has self-care horse boarding, different forms of plant agriculture, and a handful of sheds/barns and other outbuildings. We’d love to discuss your hopes for the land and see what we can incorporate. It’s a great option for anyone who wants to live right by their boarded horse or other agricultural enterprise, whether that’s renting another acre to plant, or just keeping a little flock of hens. Let’s talk about it!

The attached file shows the different areas of the property -- this rental at a minimum covers the area in red, with the option of adding on areas as the tenant's plans dictate. Field B is where the majority of available pasture exists.

Practice details

We seek tenants who will not employ  use of herbicides and pesticides or industrial fertilizers, and certainly not without approval from the other farmers that share the land. The property sits above a creek system that we don't want harmed by run-off, and our pollinator populations need all the help they can get.

The home and rentable acreage sit on my family's land, and there are other exciting projects happening around the property. I have a home in these woods, as do my parents.
