Container Experience

I purchased a 1960's ranch home and 4 acres over 5 years ago.  I turned the home into The Fab 4 House, furnishing it with authentic Mid-century Modern furniture and naming each bedroom for 1 of the Beatles.  I rent it out and it is great for events.  However, I needed 1 bedroom accommodations so I purchased 3- 8'x40' shipping containers and turned them into tiny homes.  You can rent 1 or all 3.  The courtyard in the middle features a Tiki Bar, Beach Scene, Putting Green.  I want people to enjoy the in and outside together.

One of three -8'x40' shipping containers.  Rent 1 or all 3.

Living area with live edge wood bar and futon

Each unit is a converted 8'x40' shipping container.  Rent 1 or all 3.

The Old House

The McKenzie Home Place has been in the same family since the late 1700ś with craftsmanship of the home dating it to 1820.
 The McKenzies played a big role in the building of Pinehurst with the Grist Mill Parties and even
the famous little cabin aptly named
The Womens Exchange in Pinehurst, NC being purchased from Author McKenzie who himself was raised in in this beautiful home.
 It it property
 that was once inhabited by our Native American Indian as many Indian Points have been pulled from the fields on the property.
 In its last days as a working farm it was a tobacco farm. There are remnants of the past life scattered around. Including The Green Barn;
a 2 story tobacco barn where the tobacco was strung on tobacco sticks, hung on rafters to be
cured and taken to market.
 Memories of times past linger all around, after 200 years it is still standing and ready for
many more memories to carry on for generations to come....I am only its keeper for now, until I pass and it is then up to the
future McKenzie generations to keep the light burning....
