This historic estate know as the Hartsfield-Perry farm consists of 18.88 acres of beautiful pastureland surrounded by lovely protected open green vistas. The property has both the honor of being listed on the National Register of Historic Places and being recognized as a Wake County Historic Landmark. As noted in the property description regarding historic status, it is an ''outstanding antebellum form complex being built in 1835''. Heart pine floors and cut stone chimneys are just two of the very special features of this house. Adjacent to the house is a mid-nineteenth-century detached kitchen. A number of auxiliary outbuildings are a part of the complex including a mid-nineteenth-century smokehouse with an attached shed and other storage sheds. Other buildings include 2 barns, along with multiple fenced pastures and 2 arenas (riding arena and circle), attest to the current use of the estate as an equestrian training and boarding facility. The protected vistas referenced are a result of 64 acres north of the property and 24 acres south of the property acquired by Wake County for ''open space'' and 100 acres east of the property owned by the state of NC ''Mitchell Mill State Natural Area''. The historic status of the estate results in financial incentives including substantially reduced Wake County, NC property taxes and the possibility for rehabilitation tax credits. The historic property is indeed a very rare opportunity especially considering its location being only 30 minutes drive to both Raleigh and the heart of North Carolina's Research Triangle.
