Nestled in the coveted Pine Ridge Farms Equestrian community, Monarch Farm is a rare Sandhills offering -- named for the monarch butterflies that grace the property and the twin lakes whose silhouette echoes their wings when viewed from above. Here you'll find nearly 3,000 square feet of single-level living on 5.8 acres overlooking two beautiful lakes, with direct riding access to the legendary Walthour-Moss Foundation.

The moment you step inside, the views take center stage. Soaring 10- and 11-foot ceilings amplify the sense of light and space, while heart-of-the-home details ground it in place -- including gorgeous pine floors milled from trees harvested locally. Built by top local custom builder Latitude Builders.

A cozy gas log fireplace anchors the living space, and the entire main level is designed for effortless one-floor living. The kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring a huge island with abundant storage, a gas cooktop with pot filler, stainless appliances, a dedicated coffee bar area, and a walk-in pantry.

Thoughtful touches continue throughout the main floor with an office nook, laundry area, and convenient half bath. Three bedrooms complete the main level, including a luxurious primary suite with an oversized walk-in shower and a walk-in dressing room closet.

When the evening calls for fresh air, the screened-in porch delivers with its own wood-burning fireplace -- the perfect spot to take in the lake views year-round, from crisp fall mornings to starlit summer nights. The sunsets are spectacular from this property.

There's room to grow, too. The upper level is already plumbed and wired, ready to be finished as an additional bedroom and bath. Downstairs, the lower level offers a wonderful bonus space with a half bath -- an inspiring art studio, home office, or whatever your lifestyle calls for.

Equestrians, this one was made for you: two horses are permitted, the pasture is ready to go with fencing already in place, and the Walthour-Moss Foundation's more than 4,000 acres of protected riding land are accessible right from the property -- no trailering required.

Build your dream barn to turn this in to a horse property or enjoy the tranquility of this property as it is! All of this just minutes to downtown Southern Pines and Pinehurst. Monarch Farm delivers privacy, acreage, water views, and world-class riding without sacrificing convenience. Properties like this don't come along often in Moore County. Welcome to Monarch Farm!
