The Longleaf Community nestled off historic Midland Road in Southern Pines, North Carolina is a uniquely charming semi-private club that blends equestrian history with modern golf innovation seamlessly. Built on the scenic 457-acre site of the former Starland Farms horse training estate, the facility honors its past by incorporating original white rail fences and remnants of the old racetrack into the landscape. The 18-hole championship course, originally designed by architect Dan Maples and later refined by Bill Bergin, offers two distinct experiences: the front nine in a wide-open, Scottish links style with gently rolling fairways, and the back nine through heavily tree-lined corridors featuring significant elevation changes. Celebrated by Golf Digest as the ''most playable course in the Sandhills,'' the property acts as a living laboratory for golf, utilizing the data-driven Longleaf Tee System to mathematically tailor the course for all ages and skill levels. Besides its pristine Mini Verde Bermuda greens, the club boasts the world-class U.S. Kids Golf Academy, a rugged six-hole short course named Bottlebrush, and the lively Heartwood Restaurant, creating a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere that embodies the timeless charm of North Carolina Golf. Peacefully situated on a desirable cul-de-sac, this patio home offers inviting curb appeal, convenient single-story living and access to over 40 local public golf courses! Built in 2000, all the maintenance and updates have been done. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,262 heated square feet of living space and Carolina Room, this home sits on a natural 0.19-acre lot. The interior features an open, split-bedroom layout with spacious living areas, including formal dining and living rooms with all-natural hardwood flooring. The kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, new stainless-steel appliances, a pantry, under-cabinet lighting, and a touch-activated sink faucet. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large, comfortable den or family room with custom built-ins and a natural gas log fireplace. The heated and cooled Carolina Room serves as an ideal space for entertaining or relaxing with a good book and coffee. The master suite offers a large walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi tub, a walk-in shower and a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms include double-door closets, and the hall bathroom has a tub/shower combination. The spacious laundry room contains a storage closet, built-in ironing board, and provides access to an oversized two-car garage with shelving and utility sink.
