World-Renowned Butler Farm
One of North America's premier Arabian equine estates, North Carolinas renowned Butler Farm, is available for purchase. It is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an iconic manifestation of what is to some a profession, to others a pastime, and, ultimately, a passion and revered way of life. On 350 picturesque acres approximately 85 miles south of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle, the estate has been the breeding and training site of an impressive roster of Arabian horses. For the past quarter of a century, the property has been under the stewardship of the Butler family, who has lovingly, faithfully, and diligently cared for the land and the buildings as they have for the animals that were stabled here.

Offering over 11,000 square feet of traditional Southern charm and sophistication, the owner's residence is classic in every detail. From its imposing red-brick Georgian facade and expansive front portico to its interior's extensive millwork, gracious rooms, and master craftsmanship, the home is a showcase of time-honored luxury and hospitality.
The centerpiece of the equine facilities at Butler Farm is the fabulous main barn. Much more than a mere barn, however, it features a two-story heart between its north and south wings, devoted to a spacious reception area, executive and administrative offices, a full kitchen, and a half bath. Upstairs are well-appointed 3-bedroom and 1-bedroom apartments, and an enormous multipurpose room featuring a dance floor, full kitchen, and music equipment room. The barn's upstairs areas overlook a circular 60-foot covered training arena, the show arena, and two regulation-size riding/schooling/training arenas. Sixty-six stalls, as well as laundry, tack and employee break rooms, and employee or visitor bathrooms with showers, comprise the vast structures north and south wings. There are additional barns for breeding, mare isolation, and halter schooling, which add seven more stalls, and a roofed open-air pavilion perfect for alfresco weddings, parties, and more.
Visitors are frequently in awe of the estate's impeccably landscaped, meticulously maintained grounds. Dozens of crepe myrtle trees flank the seemingly endless driveway, and there are sprawling lawns, emerald pastures, mature trees, and perfectly placed shrubbery and flora. Over a dozen charming ponds and custom-designed water features embellish the property, as does statuary and custom lighting. All landscaping and residential facilities are serviced by an extensive irrigation system fed by 6 deep wells. The list of amenities at Butler Farm goes on and on.
