The Randall House: National Register Home on 27 Acres

The Randall Estate near Norwood, Stanley County, North Carolina, is a historic early American home offering a rare opportunity for a new owner. The original 500-acre purchase dates back to 1778, during the Revolutionary War. The house itself was reportedly overbuilt around 1835, transforming into a fine example of a transitional Federal to Greek Revival style dwelling. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is protected by Preservation NC covenants. It sits on a 27-acre lot and features a 1,255 sq ft original enslaved people’s/tenant cabin. A 40×50 metal-clad pole barn with 200 amp electrical service, a milking parlor with office or pool table room, and a concrete silo.

The Randall house boasts a rich history with many historical details remaining, including original hand-planed moldings, mantels, and wide-plank floors. It has a formal parlor and library, both with fireplaces, and a dining room adorned with a hand-painted mural depicting early plantation life. The kitchen/great room has a vaulted ceiling and a large stone wood-burning fireplace, while a butler’s pantry/wet-bar has a pass-through to the great room. Two of the three bedrooms also feature original fireplaces.
