Built by North Carolina Militia Brigadier General Stephen Moore, Mount Tirzah Plantation and Stephen Moore hold distinguished places in both North Carolina and American history. Moore later negotiated the sale of his Hudson River property to the United States Government, land that became the site of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Mount Tirzah is recognized as the earliest house built in the county, then part of Orange County, and is associated with the only Revolutionary War site in Person County. Constructed along the Great Road near the historic Trading Path connecting Petersburg and Waxhaw (just below present-day Charlotte), the property occupied an important location in early American travel and commerce. Mount Tirzah Plantation presents a rare opportunity to own one of North Carolina's most historically significant private residences. Situated on approximately 60 acres in Timberlake, this remarkable estate offers 3,909 square feet, four bedrooms, three and one-half baths, exceptional character, and picturesque acreage. Originally constructed in 1777-1778, the home was expanded with a Victorian addition in 1879 and thoughtfully restored and modernized by the current owners in 1986, preserving its historic integrity while enhancing everyday livability. The residence showcases spacious formal rooms, original architectural details, wide-plank flooring, six decorative fireplaces, and multiple enclosed porch and conservatory spaces that provide abundant natural light and flexible living areas. Modern improvements to the kitchen, baths, circulation spaces, and overall floor plan complement the home's historic charm without compromising its character. The grounds are equally impressive, featuring mature landscaping, stonework, garden areas, cross-fenced acreage, a pond, forest land, open pastures, and historic outbuildings. The current owners have operated the property as a working farm for beef cattle and goats, and the land is well suited for equestrian, cattle, or other agricultural pursuits. Large three-car and two-car garages provide extensive storage, workshop space, and additional utility. Over the centuries, Mount Tirzah has been associated with numerous notable figures, including Congressman Richard Stanford, North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Edwin Godwin Reade, educators Sawney and John Webb, and James Webb, for whom the Webb Space Telescope is named. The community's first post office was established here in 1795 and remained in operation until 1906, further underscoring the property's importance to the region's history. Today, Mount Tirzah Plantation offers a rare combination of historical significance, privacy, acreage, and practical functionality. Conveniently located with access to Roxboro, Durham, Duke University, and the greater Triangle area, it represents a truly distinctive opportunity for buyers seeking an exceptional historic estate. Please refer to the legal description for all included parcels. Three smaller lots located across the street within the Mount Tirzah subdivision are subject to restrictive covenants, which apply only to those lots.

The one-level main living area offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with abundant natural light throughout. Central clerestory windows draw sunlight deep into the home, while multiple doors from all three bedrooms open directly to decks, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A welcoming front deck, spacious back deck, and screened side porch provide plenty of places to enjoy the surrounding woods in every season. The home's design incorporates passive solar principles, including a south-facing foyer with acid-washed concrete flooring designed to absorb and retain warmth from the sun. Geothermal heating and air conditioning provide efficient year-round comfort. Beautiful oak flooring, tile, and acid-washed concrete create a distinctive mix of natural textures and materials. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and serious cooking, with generous countertop space and storage galore. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, including a spa-like bath with a heated floor, thermostat-controlled comfort, soaking tub, bidet, and separate shower. The partially finished, walk-out full basement expands the possibilities, including a 389-square-foot flex room with a closet—ideal for a studio, office, guest space, hobby room, or whatever your lifestyle requires. With 2,613 square feet of total living area, including 2,224.8 square feet above grade, there is room to grow, create, and make the home your own. Outside, the property has been lovingly cultivated while preserving its natural setting. A cedar-fenced area in front features multiple gates, while a second fenced section offers additional flexibility in the backyard. Rain chains and French drains thoughtfully manage water, complemented by a rain barrel, perennial gardens, evergreens, apple trees, and a fig tree that provide beauty and interest throughout the seasons. Private access to a stream and community trails invites exploration right from home. And then there is the community itself. Ownership includes shared interest in approximately 124 acres of community land and held assets, including approximately 107 acres of land protected by conservation easement. Maintained trails, streams, a community pond, orchard, and a tucked-away community cabin in the woods create an uncommon sense of place and connection. Here, you can retreat into the privacy of your own 3 wooded acres while also being part of something larger—a community that values nature, shared land, and thoughtful stewardship. For those seeking a home that offers more than four walls—a place with craftsmanship, natural beauty, privacy, and a genuine sense of community—this is a truly special opportunity.
