Set upon on a hilltop along a designated NC scenic byway, this South Lowell Rd property offers picturesque views of the northern Durham county countryside. The 4BR, 2 1/2 bath brick ranch home is surrounded by 48.5 acres of rolling pasture land and was once a working beef cattle farm. The over 3,000 square foot mid-century modern home offers an open floor plan for everyday family living. An in-ground pool offers a cool, relaxing setting on hot summer days. The east facing, enclosed front porch is perfect for enjoying an early morning sunrise. Also located on the property is a quaint two-story "barndiminium" with comfortable living space within. Zoned Rural Residential, this property offers the rare opportunity for space and privacy. Several outbuildings and two ponds are also located on the former farm. Approximately 20 minutes to downtown Durham and Duke University medical center and approximately 30 minutes to RDU.
