Single Family Residence in Southern Pines

NEVER BETTER FARMS | A SOUTHERN PINES SPORTING ESTATE

Some properties are measured in acres. Others are measured in history.

Set across 17.49 acres in the heart of Southern Pines Horse Country, Never Better Farms is a distinguished equestrian estate where generations of sporting tradition, remarkable natural beauty, and the pursuit of excellence come together.

With a legacy rooted in the training of thoroughbred racehorses, including a connection to a Breeders’ Cup-winning horse, Never Better Farms represents something increasingly difficult to find: an established sporting property with the character, infrastructure, and setting to carry its legacy into the next generation.

Beyond the winding approach, a landscape of mature trees, open pastures, and traditional fencing introduces a property designed around the equestrian way of life. Two established barns offer a combined ten stalls, complemented by a dedicated wash rack, feed storage, tack facilities, a dressage ring, and jumping areas. Whether envisioned as a private training facility, a competitive equestrian retreat, or a treasured legacy estate, the grounds offer an exceptional foundation for life with horses.

At the heart of the property stands a 4,012-square-foot residence whose character is inseparable from the history of the land itself. Incorporating elements of the farm’s original peach barn, the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home balances historic authenticity with the comforts of gracious country living. A dramatic living room with soaring 17-foot ceilings, a fireplace, and a wet bar creates an inviting setting for entertaining, while a distinctive brick-floored tack room speaks to the property’s enduring equestrian identity.

Outside, an in-ground swimming pool overlooks the surrounding pastures, offering a peaceful retreat after a morning in the saddle. Additional improvements include a detached four-car garage, workshop space, and covered equipment storage, supporting both the practical demands of a working farm and the pleasures of a private country estate.

Located near the renowned Walthour-Moss Foundation and Weymouth Woods, with the restaurants, boutiques, and cultural traditions of downtown Southern Pines just a short drive away, Never Better Farms enjoys a setting deeply connected to North Carolina’s celebrated horse country.

This is more than a residence or a working farm. It is an opportunity to become the next steward of a remarkable sporting property, where the traditions of the past continue to shape the possibilities of the future.

Never Better Farms. A sporting legacy worth preserving.
