This elegant farm is located on 23.9 acres along the Flat River in northern Durham County, about 20 minutes from Downtown Durham. An easy drive to major interstates, Raleigh-Durham International Airport, Research Triangle Park, world-class healthcare and universities, and all the offerings in the Triangle area -- yet set in the peaceful countryside.
The Triangle area comprised of Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh and surrounding communities, is located just a couple of hours from the Atlantic ocean with its temperate Gulf Stream and just a couple of hours from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the western part of the state.
The Triangle area has become a primary attraction on the east coast because of a number of features including wonderful and creative restaurants, superb sports venues (both professional and collegiate), excellent facilities for the arts and music as well as, of course, a healthy economy with a full spectrum of hiring opportunities. Major employers include the nationally recognized universities of the area: Duke University in Durham (the Blue Devils), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (the Tar Heels), and North Carolina State University (the Wolf Pack) in Raleigh as well as NC Central University in Durham and other academic facilities such as Meredith College in Raleigh. The other primary employers are the companies of the world-renowned Research Triangle Park and the smaller businesses that provide support for the Park.
The Research Triangle Park, a public/private planned research park located in the Triangle, could be considered the mini-Silicon Valley of the east coast. It encompasses approximately 7,000 acres and is the home of more than 136 companies that employ a vast work force in a variety of fields. The Research Triangle Park is a public/private, planned research park, created in 1959 by leaders from business, academia and industry and has been an extremely successful collaborative effort that encompasses the spirit of cooperation and learning within the scientific, academic and technological community.
