Property Description
Scarborough House Resort - Historic Southern Estate Meets Modern Luxury
Welcome to the Scarborough House Resort, where historic charm and modern luxury unite in an extraordinary 8,600 sq ft estate nestled on nearly 3 acres of manicured grounds in Wilson County, North Carolina. Originally built in 1821 and proudly listed on the National Historic Registry, this iconic Southern residence was thoughtfully modernized in the 1990s—with new structures added to expand functionality and comfort—and has undergone major renovations over the past three years. Today, it stands as a fully updated, event-ready destination ideal for investors, homeowners, and entrepreneurs alike.
Whether you're seeking a grand private residence, a thriving short-term rental, or a turnkey event venue, this property offers unmatched versatility. With 13 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms spread across multiple structures—including a main home, guest house, pool house, in-law suite, event pavilion, barn, pole barn, and several storage sheds—you can comfortably host large groups or operate several income streams at once.
Preserved Heritage, Modern Comforts
Step inside and you'll find a home that respects its roots while embracing contemporary living. Original hardwood floors and Spanish tile imported from Mexico honor the estate's history, while four fireplaces with stainless steel inserts, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and LED lighting throughout bring style and practicality. A nearly 1,000-foot run of Edison string lights, operated via smart switches, gives the estate an inviting glow in the evenings.
All major systems have been updated: PEX plumbing, new well pump wiring, three tankless water heaters, and a new HVAC unit for the pool house. Crawlspaces have been encapsulated for long-term durability and energy efficiency.
Five-Star Hospitality
Currently operating as a successful Airbnb bed-and-breakfast, the estate boasts a consistent 5-star rating and a proven income history. In the past year alone, it has hosted 15 weddings, 5 quinceañeras, several family reunions, and even a funeral, showing its remarkable adaptability. The estate includes a commercial-grade kitchen, beer and wine license, and a beautifully designed event pavilion with an outdoor icemaker, perfect for hosting unforgettable celebrations and retreats.
Spa-Inspired Amenities
Unwind in the two-person soaking tub, step into the rainfall shower, or walk across heated bathroom floors—this is where comfort meets indulgence. Every detail of the home has been elevated to support both private luxury and hospitality-grade utility.
Extensive Infrastructure Improvements
In the last three years alone, the property has seen over 1 million pounds of concrete poured, regrading for optimized drainage, and the addition of French drains, 700+ feet of gutters, and perimeter lighting. Dead trees were removed, and nine dumpsters of debris cleared to create a pristine and functional outdoor setting. The new pool liner and variable-speed pump deliver a resort-like experience, while covered parking for up to four RVs with full hookups and parking space for over 100 vehicles open the door to large-scale events—or even helicopter access.
