Welcome to 171 Dobbins Lane, Rockingham, NC-an extraordinary 60-acre private estate where luxury living, working land, and unmatched versatility come together in one remarkable offering. Ideally located with privacy and space to roam, yet only approximately 30 minutes from Pinehurst and its world-class golf, this property offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and convenient access to one of North Carolina's premier destinations.
The nearly 5,000 square foot main residence features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an attached 2-car garage, and stunning architectural character throughout. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed beams, a dramatic stone fireplace, custom built-ins, and solid wood craftsmanship throughout create a warm and timeless feel. Brick floor pavers throughout much of the home add texture, durability, and one-of-a-kind charm.
A bright and inviting Carolina room offers the perfect place to enjoy peaceful views of the property year-round. The thoughtfully updated kitchen is designed for both style and function, featuring porcelain tile floors, quartz countertops, a matching quartz desktop/workstation area, and a full-height quartz backsplash extending to the cabinets for a clean, seamless designer look. Completing the space are KitchenAid stainless steel appliances and a nearby wet bar with a secondary sink featuring a collapsible faucet, allowing added functionality while conserving space when not in use.
Recent improvements include a new roof installed in 2024 with architectural shingles, adding long-term value and peace of mind for the next owner.
Step outside to your own private retreat featuring a 16x32 heated saltwater pool installed in 2018, relaxing hot tub, and outdoor entertaining space powered by a Jandy propane heating system. Beyond the pool, enjoy a private fully stocked pond approximately 18 feet deep, complete with a floating dock and gazebo--ideal for fishing, relaxing, or taking in quiet Carolina sunsets.
Enhancing both curb appeal and evening ambiance is the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro system, offering a premium exterior lighting package that is fully customizable and app-controlled. Easily change colors, brightness, themes, and holiday displays right from your phone to create the perfect look year-round.
One of the standout features is the impressive 60x30 workshop/building with attached office and oversized 12-foot garage doors. The concrete in this building were poured thicker to be able to withstand heavy equipment. This versatile structure is perfect for storing tractors, farm equipment, trailers, heavy machinery, bulldozers, tools, boats, sports cars, antique automobiles, or collector vehicles, while also offering functional workspace for hobbies or business needs.
Equestrian and agricultural buyers will appreciate the horse barn, open hay field, and expansive acreage suitable for horses, cattle, farming, recreation, or future possibilities. For outdoor enthusiasts, this property also offers exceptional access to North Carolina's treasured game, with habitat known to attract majestic whitetail deer, wild turkey, quail, rabbit, dove, and waterfowl.
Adding to the property's versatility are three additional residences, bringing the total to four homes on the property. These include one single-wide home, one double-wide home (both offering 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), plus an approximately 1,000 square foot house ready for renovation that could become an excellent guest cottage, caretaker residence, rental opportunity, or housing for farm help.
With three private entrances, exceptional privacy, and endless flexibility, 171 Dobbins Lane is a rare chance to own a true family compound, private retreat, sporting estate, or legacy property.
