Mebane, NC 27302
Description
For more than two centuries, people have found their way down this road. Since about 1790, this land just outside Chapel Hill has been a place to gather, to stay, and to celebrate. The Inn at Bingham School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated an Orange County Landmark, and it is now ready for its next chapter. The 5-bedroom, 6-bath main residence carries its history with ease. It has seven fireplaces, brick and hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, a sunroom, and a cozy living room, so it feels as natural for a quiet Sunday as for a house full of guests. A separate guest house adds a sixth bedroom for extended family, an innkeeper, or visitors who deserve their own front door. Beyond the house, 11.5 acres unfold into open lawns, pétanque courts, and a historic barn and silo, with ample gravel parking already in place. The property has operated as a bed and breakfast and has hosted weddings, elopements, corporate retreats, and private celebrations under a Special Use Permit that transfers with the sale. A new owner can keep the doors open as a boutique inn and event venue, reimagine the barn and silo as a farm-to-table restaurant or destination dining space, or simply call it home. Few places in North Carolina offer this combination of provenance, privacy, and possibility. The estate is minutes from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the Saxapahaw food and music scene, with easy I-40/85 access to Durham, Raleigh, and Greensboro. It is a historic home with acreage, a turnkey bed and breakfast, and a wedding and event venue near Chapel Hill, all on one extraordinary property.
