Property Description

A rural retreat on 25+ acres of tranquility roughly 30 minutes outside of Winston-Salem! The Forbes-Luther Cabin, known as Sleepy Hollow, has served for decades as a place of respite and relaxation, isolated in a rural setting and convenient to major urban centers of the western Piedmont. Sleepy Hollow offers the opportunity for a retreat and the next 21st century farmstead.

The Forbes-Luther Cabin’s centerpiece is a monumental stone fireplace in the vaulted main living area. The adjacent enclosed porches (included within square footage noted) are ideal for your rocking chairs and provide views of the nearby pond and creek spillway. The rustic log and twig staircase takes you to the upper half-story with three bedrooms and one bath. The entire interior is clad in knotty pine. Prospective buyers may wish to modernize the existing kitchen and bath.

A news article from 1975 describes the construction of the cabin and the use thereof by the Luther family. Francis Luther was the City Manager for Salisbury during the 1970s.

Roughly 5.2 acres of pasture currently support a small cattle herd, with the remaining acreage providing mature woodland landscape and an opportunity for an appropriate new home site. The design and location of a possible new home site will require review and approval by Preservation North Carolina.

The significant historic resource onsite is the Livengood Barn, a two-story hardwood dog-trot log building with hip roof and shed porch roof on the east elevation. The historic barn is a tangible connection to the 19th century subsistence farm place. It is believed that the barn was built during the mid-19th century.
