Great Kennel, Super Area, and a Lovely Home

Great kennel, wonderful land, super area, and a Lovely home. Well situated in central NC; 2 ½ miles off I 77, convenient to both I 85 and I 40.  

Not often do you find the combination of a large and lovely well kept home, great personal dog facilities, and a profitable and well maintained kennel. This is that rare combination.

2500 sq. ft home with 4 bedrooms, two master suites, 3 baths, one with whirlpool tub. Open floorplan, ceramic tile floors, fireplace and a supplemental wood stove, super dog crate room opening into the completely finished double garage and directly out to the split rail fenced exercise/play areas in the back for the little dogs and on the large side yard for the big ones. Split rail wire backed.

Off the great room there are glass doors to the pool and a walkway out to the 16 additional kennels for personal or client dogs. This area has 16 10X10’s all roofed. They are in groups of 6-6-and 4. All open onto 100’ run areas.

The kitchen is galley style with new granite counter tops and new stainless steel sink. Bathrooms and kitchen all look brand new, and one of them is; it has never been used.

The exterior of the house is white brick, shielded from the road by towering Leyland Cypress trees, which also break the property into sections with evergreen screening. Approach to the house is two brick pillars and antique wrought iron gates.

The kennel is state of the art. 104 kennels—all in/out and washdown, most with paver tile floors in the aisles. All Mason fence, one entire building the 1” Mason. Two separate buildings plus two catteries, kennel kitchen, grooming and drying rooms. Nice reception area and kennel office. Owner’s office is upstairs and boasts a bath and lots of light, skylights, windows, and could easily be made into an apartment. Central heat and air throughout. All runs double security fenced and privacy fenced. Attractive entrance also gated with wrought iron gates.

The business is great. Fully staffed with long term employees. Owner selling due to retirement. This one is move in ready. You can begin making money on the first day. Doing a very good gross and could be increased by adding services.

Located within commuting distance of Charlotte, NC. The last one we had with this combination of pristine house and wonderful kennel sold very quickly, I expect this one will too.

Wonderful Kennel, Lovely Home, & Great Carolina Lifestyle

We put all our experience into building a kennel and house that is truly first class.

Established in August of 2005 by the sellers, who have a background in showing dogs, grooming and training. They put all that experience into building a kennel that is truly first class.

Dogs are accommodated in 50 I/O runs, which are 4’ x 4’ inside and 4’ x 10’ on the outside (covered). The interior of the kennel is fully climate controlled and is cleaned 3 times a day. Currently the kennel offers Playtime, Nature Walks and Special Dinners at an additional charge.

Cats are catered to in a private area separate from the dogs allowing for a quite, stress free environment. The room has a scenic view allowing plenty of sunlight. Each cat has its own state of the art Cat Condo.

The facility has a contracted trainer who currently holds weekly classes. The training room is air conditioned and heated, allowing for year round usage. Additional training services could be added; private lessons, Board ‘n’ Train, competitive obedience, Rally-O, etc.

South Carolina Low Country Horse Farm

What a pretty little farm.  5 usable acres, two fenced pastures, really nice barn and contractor-occupied home.

The farm is in Agricultural Zoning and usable for a commercial venture; kennel legal.

Home is one story, with an expandable attic (rooms may be added), 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and nice open floor plan.  The kitchen boasts granite counter tops, solid wood cabinets, and travertine/granite floors (very nice - same as in the dining room). Beautiful dining room with octagonal coffer-style ceiling. Real masonry fireplace in the adjacent living room.  Extra large laundry room and a comfortable screened porch complete the package. Big front porch overlooks the front pasture and is shaded by very large live oaks, which add the real low country feel.

Barn is wonderful.  Four 12 x 12 stalls, with bead board fronts, and sliding doors. Large and light hay loft.  Front portion can be used as a garage—large enough to hold a pool table and vehicle, which it currently does.

In the back is another septic, power pole, and water connection.  The pool is very nice, well-built, with a gorgeous pergola and palm trees. Very relaxing. Land is totally flat, rectangular, and located one turn off a main highway.  Private yet very accessible.  Near Hilton Head with its many golf and tennis clubs.  Wonderful place for a retirement business, or a family with animals.

Adobe "Green" Home in New Mexico

Home Description

The price has been reduced to an unbelievable low considering the construction and location of this home. This property is priced to sell with immediate equity!! This beautiful Territorial style authentic adobe is located on a 5 acre lot on a remote corner of a 160 acre alfalfa farm. This house has 16" thick exterior walls with the majority of interior walls composed of authentic adobe. Elegant, hand made adobe arches compliment the interior passages between rooms. Two authentic Rumford fireplaces are situated within (one in the great room and the other in the master bedroom). The fireplace in the great room has a firebox that is over 4' tall and heats the room and upstairs nicely during the infrequent cold snaps of the desert southwest. The upstairs is over 2,000 square feet and is designed as an open loft. Custom cabinets with original tala-vera tile accents the kitchen and bathrooms. Floors are sculptured concrete (cobblestone/flagstone), tile, or carpet (in the bedrooms). All interior ceilings are rustic/rough pine or logs. The ceiling in the great room is 21'10" tall. This house can be modified into as many as eight bedrooms. Four large storage/coat closets, in addition to large walk-in closets in every bedroom, provide more than adequate storage for most any family. A newly constructed 1/2 mile maintained road leads to the property affording seclusion, privacy, and quiet evenings. Alfalfa fields that surround the property usually lower the ambient temperature by over 10 degrees. Abundant wildlife occupies the yard and surrounding area. This house would make an excellent candidate for a bed and breakfast or Executive Retreat and is great for horses and other livestock. Large back porch (10' x 81') provides for gatherings, barbeques, etc. The large master bath has a 64 square foot custom shower plus a jacuzzi tub big enough for the entire family. Imagine living in the desert and paying less than 100 dollars monthly to cool nearly 5000 square feet during the hottest months of the summer. There is no danger of brush fire, mudslide, or other natural disasters...only the peace, quiet, and tranquility of the Chihuahuan Desert.

What makes this home a Green or Healthy Home?

All authentic adobe, with 16" thick exterior walls (14" adobe plus 2" powerfoam insulation). Vinyl, double-pane energy efficient windows with 11 ceiling fans strategically located throughout the house. At night, if the windows are opened, then closed the next morning, the interior temperature of the house is such that the cooling units never engage. During one particularly hot month, the electric bill for this house was only $81.00 (that's with two five ton heat pumps!). Interior custom cabinets are made of grade one maple. Sculptured cement floors add to the cooling effect. During the winter, fires built in the two authentic Rumford fireplaces provide more than adequate heat for the great room and master bedroom. Even though the heat pumps adequately maintain heat in the house, adding small radiant heaters, for individual comfort, in auxiliary bedrooms significantly lowers monthly winter electric bills. If managed correctly, the adobe construction of this house more than compensates for it's size in regards to heating and cooling..

Live and Work in Southwest Adobe Style

The house is a hybrid: 1500 square feet is standard home construction with stucco exterior, with the remaining 1200 sq/ft authentic adobe.

The entire 1200 sq/ft constitutes the master bedroom and bathroom. The Ceiling consists of hand-peeled logs with round cedar latillas set on a herring bone pattern. The closet is 26’ long and 5’3” wide (huge). It also has it’s own rumford fireplace. The bathroom has a shower that is over 70 sq/ft, an antique bathtub (separate from the shower), twin sinks, and custom southwest cabinets and doors.

The non-adobe part of the home is standard construction with hardwood floors, 3 bedrooms, and a recently remodeled bathroom in southwest design. The entire older part of the house (the non-adobe part) has been rewired by an electrical contractor, and there is a new 5 ton heat pump (cost 6k). The kitchen needs some work, as does part of the roof, but the house has tremendous potential.

With minimal investment, you could have substantial equity almost immediately, based on current market rates for the area.

The yard is truly nice. There are numerous large, mature pine trees in the yard, some of which are over 45 – 50’ tall. The Bermuda grass is robust and thick. Other trees include pecan, mulberry, and Chitalpa desert willow.
