Unique opportunity to preserve a rare piece of North Carolina’s early-19th century landscape, minutes from downtown Louisburg! Located on Cedar Creek directly off US 401, the mill and 13 scenic acres were carved out of the vast Cascine Plantation tract to ensure its preservation. An imposing three stories, the mill is clad in weatherboard with a metalcovered gable roof on a full stone foundation. Simple in design, the mill is an exceptional example of quality craftsmanship and material. Owned and operated by the family, the mill served a large and productive farming area. Parcel includes a late 19th century tenant house and miller’s house, remains of the stone dam, and a race system. Each building requires a comprehensive rehabilitation; may be eligible for historic preservation tax credits (see page 23). Square Feet: approx. 3,600 (mill only); Lot Size: 13.32 acres; Zoning: R-30

J.W. Murchison House Historic Downtown Wilmington See (Z) on map $797,500

Circa 1886. This stately Historic District home in downtown Wilmington is one of the most elegantly attractive homes in this distinct area. The original structure offers brick exterior, a long driveway for off-street parking, a full English basement (with windows) and a large attic that could be finished into additional heated sq. ft. An addition was made in the 1930’s to create additional bedrooms and porches on the rear of both levels. Later, an upstairs kitchen, living room and 2 of the 6 bedrooms were separated to create an income producing apartment with private entry, renting for $1100/month. Unique to the Historic District, this home includes the original 2 story carriage house, a walled garden and the original iron front gates. For modern conveniences, upgrades include alarm systems for both fire and security, professional landscaping with irrigation, an invisible fence and in 1997 a refurbished slate roof. Just 3 blocks from the Cape Fear River, restaurants and shopping. Floor plans available. 6BR/5ba Square Feet: 4905, Lot Size: .25acre, Zoning: HD-R (historic district – residential) Contact David Eggleston, 910-230-0018 or DavidEgg@IntracoastalRealty.com, www.DavidEggleston.com
