In Chatham County but just a short drive from the cities in both North Carolina's Triangle and Triad regions, the Celebrity farm invites you to experience life lived at the pace of a small family farm - and also a rural bed and breakfast. With nearly 30 acres and 15 or so good useable outbuildings, Celebrity has been a star in Chatham County's crown for over a generation. Included: 5500 square foot prize-winning Celebrity Dairy Inn, a Greek Revival contemporary built around a historic 1795 cabin, with 5 traditional style hotel rooms with private baths, 2 3rd-floor bedrooms with shared bath(family suite) and a large owners suite in the renovated cabin with bedroom, bath, living room with fireplace and a porch. The building features a full caterer's commercial kitchen, a 50X20 great room with 2-story hand built stone fireplace, 2 laundries, a large Porte cochere for event preparation and over 1000 sq. ft. of beautiful porches. And that is just the beginning: There is also a two-bedroom rental house, a renovated packing house used as office and production space, greenhouse, workshop areas, several useful log barns, a historic 19c barn with beautiful structure and 2 large commercial canvas-covered Quonset barns with engineered steel structures, including one beautiful 5000 sq. ft. high-vaulted Quonset which could make a great event space. There are also dairy facilities including numerous barns and production areas, milking parlor, commercial kitchen, goat pens, cheese room, dry storage and goat pens - you could start your own farm business or transform these spaces into something creative and new. Other assets: 2 good rental properties, several pastures, small pond, working solar array, geothermal heating and cooling, powerful military generator, ancient homesite oaks and maples, more. From the owners: Sheltered on a gentle knoll under 250 year old oak trees, the main house is actually two buildings: a modern Greek Revival farmhouse skirted by wide porches, and the original settler's 1800 log cabin. The two-story atrium joining the two serves as the farm's gathering room. Surrounding outbuildings attest to the farm's past and present: the original log hay barn and granary, 1880's smoke house, 1940's tobacco barns, and most recently - our farmstead goat dairy producing award-winning goat cheese. Come see for yourself. Showings generally available.
