Discover the allure of Kingdom Farms Vineyards and Preserve, a historic 40-acre estate with almost 20 acres of meticulously tended vines, guided by the 2019 Grape Grower of the Year for North Carolina. 10 acres will have its first harvest this fall, and by fall 2025, the full 20 acres will be in production. This exceptional property features established gravel roads, underground electricity, and various outbuildings, including an expansive 1,200 sq. ft. greenhouse with passive solar heat. Living quarters are provided by a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath hand-hewn log cabin overlooking the concord grape field, and a cozy tiny home looking out over the 20 acre vineyard. Rich in American history, Kingdom Farms was founded by freed slaves after the Civil War and remains one of only two "kingdoms" ever established in the United States.
