Some properties take a fair amount of imagination to see what they could become. Frog Hill Farm is not one of those. It is already set up, already running, and ready for the next owner to walk in and get to work.
Carolina Forestry & Realty is pleased to offer Frog Hill Farm, a 30.8-acre turnkey farm in Granville County, North Carolina, listed at $707,000. The property includes a spacious four-bedroom home with a finished basement, two ponds, 26 acres of fenced and cross-fenced pasture, four Quonset buildings, a shedrow barn, and a current horse boarding operation. If you have been searching for a working farm with a real home on it in a part of North Carolina that still feels unhurried, this one is worth a serious look.
The main residence is a 1997 manufactured home with 3,872 heated square feet spread across two levels, and it lives a lot larger than the specs suggest.
The main floor has four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, a full kitchen, living room, dining room, and a propane fireplace for the colder months. Off the back of the home, a sunroom looks out over the 1.4-acre pond. It is the kind of view that makes mornings easy. A covered front porch adds to the outdoor living options, and a patio with a pergola and fireplace makes the exterior feel like a destination of its own.
The basement is where this property really surprises people. It is partially finished and configured with a second full kitchen, a full bathroom, a living room, a den or office, and a sauna. There is also an unfinished storage area that gives a future owner options. The basement setup makes Frog Hill Farm well-suited for multigenerational living, farm help housing, or simply a guest wing that feels genuinely self-contained.
The home sits on a metal roof, has a carport, and comes with a whole-house propane generator. That last detail matters on a working farm. Power interruptions and livestock do not mix well, and the generator means operations can continue regardless of what the weather is doing.
This is where Frog Hill Farm earns the word turnkey.
The pasture situation is exceptional for a 30-acre property. Roughly 26 acres are fenced and cross-fenced with high tensile wire, allowing for thoughtful rotational grazing and separation of animals as needed. Cross-fencing is one of those investments that takes real time and money to establish, and having it already in place is a meaningful advantage for any buyer coming in with horses or livestock.
There are four Quonset buildings on the property, a shedrow barn, and multiple storage buildings. Two wells provide water supply, and several livestock waterers are distributed across the pasture. The infrastructure is genuinely complete for an operation of this scale.
The property currently has an active horse boarding lease. That lease terminates with 60 days’ notice, giving a new owner flexibility to take over operations themselves, bring in their own boarding clients, or transition the farm to a different use on their own timeline.
The main pond on the property is 1.4 acres, which puts it firmly in the category of a real pond rather than a retention basin. There is a floating dock on it, though the main dock is in need of repair. A second pond at 0.5 acres sits elsewhere on the property.
Two ponds on a 30-acre farm add up to a lot: livestock water supply, fishing, recreational value, and an aesthetic backdrop that genuinely distinguishes this property from most farm listings in the region. The pond views from the sunroom and the rear of the home are part of what makes Frog Hill Farm feel like more than just a working property.
The name fits.
Granville County occupies a part of North Carolina that sits just far enough north of the Triangle to retain its rural character while staying well connected to everything the region offers.
Frog Hill Farm is 10 minutes from a Kerr Lake boat ramp, 20 minutes from Oxford, 45 minutes from Durham, and about an hour from Wake Forest and North Raleigh. For a buyer who wants genuine farm life without trading away access to a city, hospital, airport, or decent grocery store, this location delivers.
The property has 1,140 feet of frontage on Tilley Road and 780 feet on Harry Davis Road. The main entrance is off Tilley Road, with a secondary entrance from Harry Davis Road that is currently unused. That dual road frontage gives a future owner layout flexibility that is harder to find than you might think.
No. The horse boarding lease terminates with 60 days’ notice, which means a new owner has full control over whether to continue the arrangement or wind it down. If you want to bring your own horses to the property immediately, or transition to a different use entirely, that is your call to make after closing.
The home is a 1997 manufactured home with 3,872 heated square feet. It includes a whole-house propane generator, metal roof, and a partially finished basement with a second full kitchen and bathroom. As with any property of this age, a thorough home inspection is recommended before closing. Buyers should also note that the floating dock is present but the main dock is in need of repair.
About 10 minutes to the nearest boat ramp. Kerr Lake is one of the largest lakes in North Carolina and one of the premier fishing and boating destinations in the region. For a farm buyer who also enjoys time on the water, having that access just down the road is a genuine quality-of-life addition that a lot of comparable farm properties in other locations simply cannot offer.
Frog Hill Farm is a strong fit for several different kinds of buyers.
Horse owners and equestrians will find the infrastructure rare at this price point: established pasture, cross-fencing, a shedrow barn, multiple Quonset buildings, waterers throughout, and a current boarding operation to walk into or take over. Finding a property this ready to operate at under $750,000 in today’s North Carolina market is not easy.
Families looking for a multigenerational setup will appreciate the fully equipped basement with its own kitchen and bathroom, the generator-backed power supply, and the acreage to spread out.
Buyers looking at Granville County as an investment play will note that land values in this part of North Carolina have been moving, and a fully operational income-producing farm at this price is not something that stays on the market long.
