Beautiful Home on 5+ Acres w/Barn, Private Pond & Heated Saltwater Swimming Pool

Nestled amongst the Carolina pines in the heart of Research Triangle’s horse country is The Estate at Nimich Pond. The Estate is a 4200 square foot, three story, custom home on nearly six acres of prime real estate that can comfortably sleep up to 14 people. Furnished to create an atmosphere of a French Country Horse Farm, you’ll feel the sensation of being transported away from the everyday the very moment you arrive. In addition to the sleeping accommodations, The Estate offers a modern dine in kitchen, a cozy formal dining room, a family room, a bonus room, and a large screened in porch offering breathtaking views of the property.

Relaxation and comfort are the theme at the Estate, so whether you have chosen to get away with the family or with a group a friends, the amenities at the Estate were designed with you in mind. Sit out on the porch or patio and take in the beauty of nature surrounded by tall pine and birch trees and a veritable aviary of wild birds that soar above Nimich Pond. Or get up close and personal with the pond on our dock, while enjoying the tranquil sound of splashing water emitting from the in pond fountain. Looking for a little more? How about a cool dip in the new inground private salt water swimming pool, or explore the various planting beds, or the walking trails, or get your short game in order on our personal putting green or spend time with the young ones on the jungle gym swing set.

Even though you will feel as though you are far away from everything, in reality you are merely a stone’s throw from everything. Downtown Raleigh and Downtown Durham are both just twenty five minutes away; so whether you are visiting to attend a Wolfpack or Blue Devil game, or see a show at the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC), the Estate places you right in the middle of these and other central Carolina event venues. Within fifteen minutes are three of the area’s renown golf courses; Falls Village, The Crossings, and Wildwood Green as well as a host of equestrian facilities suitable to the beginner or the experienced rider. In addition to these options, we can arrange for onsite fitness classes, or schedule a private wine tasting hosted by Vino & Vine.

All of this and more awaits you at The Estate @ Nimich Pond.

Home Away From Home
This property is one of the most beautiful properties I have visited on this site. There was plenty to see and do. My group did not spend as much time on the property due to attending a music festival. However, Maurice and Melissa were excellent hosts. Everything was as described and we can’t wait to visit again!

We rented The Estate@Nimich Pond for family coming for our daughter's wedding. The accommodations and plentiful on-site activities were awesome. The owners are amazing; their love for the property and their desire to make sure guests are happy and comfortable are beyond measure. We wouldn't hesitate to rent again.

Beautiful Getaway for our Family
We enjoyed our stay at Nimich Pond. We had 4 adults and 5 children. The property has a putting green, swing set, and all types of games in the barn for the kids to enjoy. The house was very clean and organized and the hosts were pleasant and easy to communicate with. We spent time at the adventure park about 3 miles away which had many activities for the whole family, we decided to go with a private paintball game and was memorable. If you are looking for a place to enjoy with your family, we would recommend this property. The hosts left plenty of snacks for our family to enjoy, our 5 boys nearly ate them all but was a welcomed surprise.

Work Retreat
Our small team was looking for a place to hold our work retreat but also connect and get to know one another better. This was the perfect setting to do that. There was lots of space to hold our learning sessions, a beautiful property for down time and peace and relaxation and a barn with fun games (corn hole). The hosts were amazing and very responsive. Thank you!!

Amazing Property
This property offered everything described in the listing and more. Maurice and Melissa were gracious and helpful and they quickly answered any questions we had. Our grandkids loved the playground and we all enjoyed the putting green, expansive back yard, and games in the barn. The pond provided a perfect backdrop for our family photos. The home is much bigger than I imagined from the photos and listing. We are already planning on returning for a future family reunion in Raleigh. Thanks for a memorable stay.

Thanksgiving get together
The property is beautiful! Outside the grounds are beautiful. The pond area is relaxing. Lots to do. The barn has plenty of games to enjoy. There’s a nice quiet trail around the property. We did not enjoy the pool because it was too cold for us. Inside the property is beautifully decorated. There’s plenty of space for a large group. Beds are comfy and all essentials are available. The owners Maurice and Melissa are reachable and both are extremely kind. Would Love to stay here again.

Family Christmas
This is a great place to stay north of Raleigh close to Durham for a family gathering during a holiday or anytime. Lists of bedrooms. Top loft sleeps 5-6 kids. The barn is very cool with so many games to play inside and the outside artificial turf play area is perfect for fun games. The decks and patios are great as well as the view of the backyard pond and landscape. The owners take great care of everything including welcome gifts and snacks. For us during Christmas it was beautifully decorated for the holidays including a Christmas tree. We highly recommend this location for any family gathering at any time of the year.

Absolutely Amazing
I do not think there was a better place to stay for a family vacation. This home has been meticulously well kept and had everything you could ever imagine in a get-away. We loved every bit of our stay. From the beautiful, spacious home home with keen attention to detail, to the outdoor oasis for much needed rest and relaxation. If 10 stars could be given, I’d strive for 11. This place was great and I look forward to another stay in the future.

As advertised, great family fun
The property is as advertised. Plenty of space, we stayed with our family and friends, 4 adults and 5 kids under 11, everyone had a great time playing in the pool, play structure and barn. There was so much for everyone to do that we did not have to leave the property for the entire week! Only challenge was the age of the mattresses, all of the adults had back pain by the end of the trip. Overall it was a great time.

Wonderful for Family Gathering
Our daughter was graduating from NCSSM and we needed a place where family could stay together because we were traveling from various areas of the state and from other states to attend graduation. This property has a lot of gathering areas for socializing and playing games. The host brought us a long table so on graduation day all of us could gather in the barn to eat dinner together with a couple of family friends. Even though it rained the entire weekend, there were games in the barn and walks on the property to entertain us. The hosts were very accommodating and gracious. We had a wonderful weekend.
