Pinehurst No. 6 is a much desired community in Pinehurst and it has a variety of real estate options as well as beautiful views of the golf course. I remember the day I took this photo of the golf course known as Pinehurst No. 6. It was a beautiful fall day with warm weather and cool shadows making for a lovely scene. Imagine living along this course and enjoying these views every day! Pinehurst No. 6 is a community in Pinehurst surrounding this golf course which is not adjacent to the main Pinehurst club house and other courses. Even so, as a Pinehurst country club member you would gave access to the main clubhouse and courses No. 1-5 as well as No. 6. Pinehurst No.6 offers affordable single family homes and condos some higher end homes and everything in between. Currently there are 5...

Sandhills Farm to Table Cooperative "Neighbors Feeding Neighbors"       I've tried my hand at 'Backyard Gardening' the past couple of years.  I do enjoy it... but it takes time, work and a little bit of luck to grow good veggies!!!  Time is something I don't seem to have much of these days...Work, I'm used to, but I'm spent at the end of a workday...Luck, well, it comes & it goes.        So, I decided to try something different this year in order to have fresh picked produce at my fingertips. I joined the Sandhills Farm to Table Cooperative!!!...AND, I LOVE IT!!!    This has turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made all year thus far.  Membership is only $25 and then you have a few different options to choose from for your Produce Box Subscription.  I chose the Weekly Subscri...

Pinehurst is surely known for its rich golfing culture - but there is also an abundant population of horse owners and equestrian events in the Pinehurst/Southern Pines Area. Pinehurst has a harness track that is used for training harness race horses in the winter and is also used for a variety of equestrian events such as hunter-jumper shows and dressage shows. There are also a few horse farms in Pinehurst off of Linden Rd just a few minutes from the Village. Around Pinehurst in other communities there are many horse farms. Southern Pines has a well known area called Horse Country and it is partly due to the Walthour Moss foundation which is a charitable trust that holds many acres of land to preserve the environment and provide a place for equestrian activities. It is currently over 4...

The North Carolina Golf Panel released its top 100 golf courses for 2011 and the Pinehurst area has 5 in the top 10 which is another great reason to retire in Pinehurst! Not surprising for most is that the Pinehurst No. 2 golf course is consistently rated #1 for North Carolina golf courses. And with the Men's and Women'ts US Opens coming to Pinehurst in 2014 to play on No. 2 it is unlikely this ranking will change anytime in the near future. In addition to No. 2 there were 4 other Pinehurst area courses in the top 10 including Pinehurst No. 4. For a short video of the 4th hole on this course click here. The 3 remaining course are the Pine Needles course in Southern Pines on which the 2007 Women's US open was played, The Country Club of North Carolina's Dogwood course and Forest Creek G...

As busy as most real estate agents were in March - the Pinehurst area residential sales for April were not reflective of sales resulting it that activity. However - with the lengthy time is takes to close these days we may very well see this activity reflected in May. One of the unusual aspects of this chart is the drop in April sales from March of this year. As long as I have been tracking sales in the Pinehurst/Moore County area there has never been a drop from March to April.  I am not an economist so I can't provide an explanation for this. I am guessing that we are at the bottom of the market and waiting for overall economic conditions to improve.  It could be possible that the rise in gas prices have effected buyers willingness to get back in the real estate market. Whatever the ...

While shopping for homes in Pinehurst two years ago this couple really wanted a 3 car garage or a 2 car plus a golf cart garage. We looked at lots of homes with 2 garages and homes with 3 car garages. The also originally wanted golf front - after all we are in Pinehurst. They found the perfect home. Pinehurst golf front with a full 3 car garage. It was a brand new construction, all brick on a cul-de-sac. This couple was very excited and then the bad news. The builder was not going to come to a price these buyers thought was fair. Though very disappointed as they were we continued looking. Then one day they asked to see a home I hadn't thought of to show them. It was in the community they wanted - but it was not on the golf course and it only had a 2 car garage. They fell in love with th...

Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw renovated the famous Pinehurst No. 2 golf course to the original look intended by Donald Ross. Pinehurst No. 2 Renovated Just opened this past March the Pinehurst No. 2 golf course is buzzing with news about the new "old" look and tee times are booked weeks if not months in advance. The golf course was renovated to look like it was intended by the original designer Donald Ross. Donald Ross created over 400 golf courses and made Pinehurst his home. On this day in April a good friend of mine who is a member of the Pinehurst Country Club kindly took off the second nine holes of her Sunday golf game to drive me around the Pinehurst's famous No. 2 course as well as the premium course No. 4.  The transformation is amazing and it is hard to believe the changes.

Not just for golfers - Pinehurst tennis team clinched the area league yesterday and now will go to the state championships.

But there are also many other outdoor sports and activities and Pinehurst has many tennis teams at all different levels. Our senior tennis team will go t the State Championships in early June, and if the adult 4.0 team wins the league, which is quite possible, then this team will be represented in the adult championships which is held every year in Pinehurst. Golfers are always welcome in Pinehurst - and there is also a great tennis community including the many beautiful ...
