Description
Historic Southern Estate Meets Modern Luxury
Welcome to Scarborough House Resort, a one-of-a-kind 8,600 sq ft Southern estate on nearly 3 private acres in Wilson County, NC. Originally built in 1821 and listed on the National Historic Registry, this historic treasure was thoughtfully modernized in the 1990s—including the addition of modern buildings—and has undergone extensive updates over the last three years to become a fully functional luxury residence and event-ready destination.
Offering 13 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms across multiple structures, the property includes a main house, guest house, in-law suite, pool house, barn, pole barn, storage sheds, and an expansive event pavilion with commercial-grade amenities. It's perfect for multigenerational living, Airbnb or bed-and-breakfast hosting, retreats, or a high-end event venue—having hosted 15 weddings, 5 quinceañeras, and more in just the past year.
Inside, the estate showcases original hardwood floors, imported Spanish tile, and four fireplaces with stainless steel inserts. Modern updates include smart home systems controlling nearly 1,000 ft of Edison lighting, updated HVAC systems, three tankless water heaters, and encapsulated crawlspaces. Bathrooms feature heated floors, a two-person soaking tub, and a rainfall shower. The well draws from a tested natural aquifer, and all plumbing has been upgraded with PEX piping.
Outside, nearly 1 million pounds of concrete support the infrastructure, including French drains, 700+ ft of gutters, and perimeter lighting. There's parking for 100+ vehicles, covered RV hookups for four, and even space for a helicopter landing.
Located just off NC Highway 222 and minutes from I-95 and I-587, Scarborough House offers peaceful privacy while staying connected. It's approximately 50 miles to Raleigh and 36 miles to Greenville, with easy access to the heart of Wilson.
