2005 Progressive Farmer Idea House & Farmstead
Pinehurst, North Carolina

iPIX photography by Laura Menconi

Pine Ridge Farm unfolds before a long and stunning view of North Carolina's rolling Sandhills region. We've put down stakes in McLendon Hills, a 600-acre equine community outside Pinehurst. McLendon Hills offers acreage, a deep bass-filled lake and 6 miles of tree-lined riding trails. This is a particularly special place for us. It was in 1886 that The Progressive Farmer was born in North Carolina. This is a happy homecoming to an idea-packed home and farm. We'd be proud to show you around.
