350 Brinkley RoadCarthage, NC 28327

Lakefront seclusion. Five private acres. Eight minutes to Pinehurst. Tucked away at the end of Brinkley Road, this one-of-a-kind Carthage retreat delivers something increasingly rare: total privacy, timeless craftsmanship, and effortless access to the heart of Pinehurst. Set on five wooded acres and just 100 yards from the shoreline of an approximately seven-acre lake, this home offers a front-row seat to nature without sacrificing convenience. Inside, the house immediately sets itself apart. Authentic 11¼ inch heart-pine floors and matching pine paneling run throughout, a level of material quality that is virtually impossible (and prohibitively expensive) to replicate today. Warm, wide planks underfoot, natural grain on the walls, and solid wood cabinetry create an atmosphere that is both refined and deeply comfortable, more bespoke lodge than standard residence. The home offers approximately 3,100+ square feet of heated living space with a highly livable layout, including four to five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a convenient powder room, making it exceptionally well-suited for full-time living, guests, or a growing family. The main level features generous living and dining spaces, a family room with soaring ceilings, and a kitchen that embraces the home's natural materials while remaining highly functional. A main-level primary suite provides ease of living, while the upper level offers additional bedrooms, flex space, and a loft ideal for guests, a home office, or creative pursuits. Outdoor living is equally compelling. A screened porch and deck overlook the wooded landscape and lake beyond, making mornings peaceful and evenings unforgettable. Whether you're watching wildlife, enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, or entertaining friends, the setting feels miles away from everything, yet you're only eight minutes from the Village of Pinehurst, world-class golf, dining, and shopping. See supplement remarks. This property is not about trends. It is about permanence. It's about land, craftsmanship, privacy, and place. Homes like this on acreage, on water, with materials that simply can't be reproduced are increasingly hard to find. If you are seeking a serene lifestyle with easy access to all things Moore County, wrapped in authentic character and natural beauty, this Brinkley Road property stands alone.
