Wild Acres is a place where history lingers in the breeze and opportunity stretches as far as the fields. Built in 1745, this Georgian Colonial has lived many lives—a schoolhouse, a boarding house, and later part of the Newton family’s working farm. Set on nearly 10 acres just a block from Durham’s Main Street, it’s a property rich in story and full of promise.
The home features original wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, antique doors, and three charming bedrooms that echo with centuries of life. The floor plan includes a front parlor, dining room, and an expanded kitchen and mudroom leading to a stone patio—perfect for soaking in the sunrise over heirloom gardens and open pastures.
Yes, it needs work. But for those who dream of space, stewardship, and purpose, Wild Acres offers a rare chance to create something lasting. With outbuildings, a three-car garage, and acres of possibility, this is an ideal setting for homesteading, horses, flower farming, or simply reconnecting with a more meaningful way of life.
