Nearly 7 acres. A private pond. A barn. And a home that feels like a permanent vacation. Tucked into McDeeds Creek, this is not a property you'll find twice. Park-like woods open to established pasture, with a natural creek winding through the property and feeding the pond -- a place where your horses can wade in on a hot afternoon. It's the cabin-in-the-woods setting most buyers only talk about, with the acreage and infrastructure to actually live it. Inside, brick flooring and warm pine woodwork, freshly varnished, set the tone. The family room gathers around a large wood-burning fireplace, while both main-level bedrooms open directly to the rear deck -- there truly isn't a bad view in the house. Upstairs, the primary suite steals the show with a private east-facing deck overlooking the water, made for slow mornings and sunrise coffee. The floor plan is anything but cookie-cutter, with far more storage than you'd expect. Recent updates make this one easy to own: a new septic system (2026), new Goodman central HVAC (2026), refreshed siding and flashing, and fresh paint inside and out. Outside, the 2.5-car garage offers generous bonus space above -- workshop, studio, woodworking space, or storage, your call. The 2-stall shedrow barn includes a tack room and covered run-in, plus a deep hay loft and adjoining storage building for everything else. A circular drive makes parking and trailer access effortless. McDeeds Creek is a quiet, private community laced with bridle paths, just minutes from downtown Southern Pines and an easy drive to Pinehurst or Fort Bragg. Nearly seven acres, water, pasture, barn, and a home with character -- this is the kind of property people move to the area hoping to find.

Welcome to the cabin in the woods. A beautiful 15 acre lake becomes your backyard. This property comes with two lot parcels: the lot the home rests on, plus an adjoining lot that touches the waterfront. Two parcels, one price, endless possibility. This is more than a cabin. It's your desirable lifestyle. Mornings start with coffee on the deck and a swim across still water. Afternoons mean kayaking the shoreline or casting a line for that evening's catch. Grow your own vegetables and cut flowers in the garden space the second lot affords. And when the sun goes down, pour a glass of wine and let the moonlight take over the lake. No annoying neighbors, no noise, just you and the water. The cabin itself is immaculate and move-in ready. No projects, no punch list, just show up and start living. The roof has been updated. The septic has been updated. Rest easy knowing the big-ticket items are already done. Two lots. Private waterfront. A lake made for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. This is the escape your weekends have been waiting for. Please note Underwood Rd is state maintained. Winding Creek is private maintained by the neighborhood.
