Welcome to a remarkable horse farm where history, craftsmanship, and thoughtful stewardship come together. With roots stretching back over a century, this special property has evolved into a turnkey equestrian retreat while preserving the character that truly makes it one of a kind. As you drive through the entrance gate, you're welcomed by a beautiful grove of mature pecan trees, a fitting introduction to a farm that immediately feels peaceful, established and timeless. The rolling landscape offers wide open skies, productive pastures and the kind of quiet setting that's becoming increasingly rare. Originally a cattle farm, the property has been carefully transformed into an exceptional home for horses. At one time, as many as 35 retired horses lived here. A testament to the thoughtful design and functionality of the farm. Today, the layout is ready for everything from private enjoyment to boarding, training or equestrian retirement. The land has been meticulously planned with fenced pasture areas, three expansive pastures of 10 acres, along with 5 smaller paddocks for flexible herd management. Equestrian amenities included a 20 meter round pen and a lighted dressage arena finished with screenings and sand, creating an ideal space for year-round riding and training. The farm infrastructure is equally impressive, A beautifully maintained century-old barn stands at the heart of the property, blending historic character with modern functionality. Simply put, they don't build barns like this anymore. Additional improvements include multiple run-in sheds, lean tos, pole barns, a 40 x 36 equipment shed and a large workshop for equipment maintenance, woodworking or hobbies. Beyond its equestrian appeal, the property is highly productive. For decades the fields have produced quality hay, and no pesticides have been used on the land. Spring harvests typically yields around 100 rolls of hay while the main barn offers storage for approximately 1000 bales of hay. Mature pecan trees add both beautiful and agricultural value, and the gently rolling terrain provides visual interest while remaining highly usable. Perimeter fencing has been thoughtfully maintained, with approximately 10 year old 4" square ww fencing bordering the road, side and rear property lines to provide security and durability. The farmhouse itself is warm, welcoming and filled with character. Original craftsman wood work reflects the home's rich history, while extensive updates ensure modern comfort without loosing its timeless appeal.Recent improvements include new piping completed in 2024, replacement windows, exterior doors, 3 HVAC systems with new ductwork installed in 2024 with 5 year warranty compressors, a completely remodeled laundry room rebuilt from the subfloor up and renovations to three bathrooms. The kitchen, updated with classic finishes in 2001, continues to service as the heart of the home. More enhancements include a woodstove, upgraded insulation, new porch spindles and front railing and a high flow well pump installed in 2025. The well is approximately 240' deep with a yield of 8-10 GPM. The main roof is approximately 20 years old and has been protected with a rust inhibitor and polymer coating. The porch roof was replaced a year ago. Randolph Fiber makes it easy to stay connected while enjoying the tranquility of country living. Solar panels on the barn take full advantage of the property's excellent southern exposure. Served by Central Electric, the system has consistently generated enough solar power to produce credits, offsetting utility costs while embracing renewable energy. Whether you're seeking a working horse farm, a peaceful county estate or a property with a rich agricultural legacy and room to grow, 146 Hoke Brooks Rd, offers an extraordinary opportunity. Every improvement has been made with been made with purpose, every acre reflects years of dedicated care, and every corner of the farm tells a story a century in the making.
