The Property

A 4,000 sq ft house you never have to climb stairs in

Built in 2023 and recognized as a Gold Winner in the Franklin County Parade of Homes, this modern farmhouse earned its award through exceptional craftsmanship and design. With a crisp board-and-batten exterior, 3-car side-entry garage, and 2.6 beautifully landscaped acres on private well and septic — no water bill — it delivers rare privacy, just 30 minutes outside Raleigh.

What sets it apart: three of the four bedrooms sit on the main floor, along with two full baths. The primary suite anchors one side; two more bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath on the other, and both work equally well as home offices. Hardwood floors, exposed wood ceiling beams, and an open-concept layout flow naturally to a screened back porch with tongue-and-groove cathedral ceiling. Upstairs adds a fourth bedroom and bath, a flex room, and a rec room with a full wet bar — plus finished conditioned seasonal storage and a large unfinished walk-in storage area.

For Main-Level Living
Skip the stairs, keep the space

Three bedrooms and two full baths on the first floor mean the whole house works without a single trip upstairs — whether that matters to you now or you're planning ahead.

For Lifestyle Buyers
Rural peace. Metro proximity.

You want land, quiet, and room to breathe — but you're not giving up dinner in the city or a quick drive to the airport. Zebulon gives you both: genuine rural character, Raleigh 30 minutes away.

Location

30 minutes from everything

Zebulon sits at the edge of the Research Triangle — close enough to Raleigh, RTP, and Wake Forest for work and culture, far enough for genuine peace.

Relocating to North Carolina?
This is where your search ends.

NC is the #2 most moved-to state in the country. Buyers from New York, Florida, California, Virginia, and New Jersey are finding that $1M here buys what $3M+ can't buy there. Franklin County has some of the lowest property taxes in the Triangle — and zero city tax burden.
