Property Description

Rare opportunity to own a remarkable historic property in Timberlake on 60 acres with 3,909 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, exceptional character, and beautiful acreage. The original structure was built in 1777-1778, a Victorian addition was added in1879, and the current home owners restored, added, and modernized it in 1986. This one-of-a-kind home offers a thoughtful blend of preserved history and functional updates, including spacious formal rooms, original doors and details, wide plank flooring, six decorative fireplaces, and multiple enclosed porch/conservatory spaces that add warmth, natural light, and flexible living areas. The home has evolved over time with practical improvements, including updated living flow, kitchen, bathrooms, powder room, and passage areas, while maintaining the charm and scale of its early architectural roots. The grounds are equally special, featuring mature plantings, stonework, garden areas, open pasture potential, cross-fenced land, and historic outbuildings/remnants that add to the property's sense of place. The current owners ran a farm raising beef cattle and goats; there are many amenities that would lend well to a horse or cattle-farm. Substantial three and two-car garages provide excellent storage, workshop potential, or room for multiple uses. Built by General Stephen Moore in 1777-1778, the property's rich history includes being the earliest house built in the county (then Orange County), as well as being the only revolutionary war site in Person county, which is Post Mt Tirzah. It was built on the Great Road, located a short distance from the Trading Path which connected Petersburg to Waxhaw, just below present day Charlotte. There were many notable personages who either lived at or had ties to Mount Tirzah. It offers a rare connection to early North Carolina and US history while still serving as a comfortable private residence. There is a wealth of information on the internet about this house and its time in US history. Located in Timberlake with convenient access to Roxboro, Durham, Duke, and the greater Triangle area. This is a truly distinctive property for the buyer seeking history, acreage, privacy, and possibility. Schedule your private showing today. Please refer to the Legal Description of House and all Lots to be Included in the document section. Three of the smaller lots are located across the street, in the Mount Tirzah subdivision, which carry Restrictive Covenants, located in Documents--which are only for those 3 lots in that subdivision. Please note that earliest year built allowed in Doorify is 1800. Original house was built in 1778.
