153 Badenyon Place, Union Grove, NC

Badenyon Ranch represents a rare assembly of 750 acres within the Yadkin Valley AVA, where the topographical diversity of Iredell and Yadkin counties creates a natural sanctuary for the sporting enthusiast. The estate is anchored by a sophisticated infrastructure, including a mile-long gated approach, underground utilities, and high-speed fiber optics that service the main Lodge and two guest cottages. The landscape is defined by its water features, notably three stocked ponds and the constant presence of Hunting Creek along the perimeter, while a network of private trails traverses mature forests and open pastures. Prospective owners should note that while Union Grove offers the seclusion of a rural retreat, its proximity to the I-77 corridor ensures seamless accessibility to the regional commercial hubs. This significant land holding, featuring a restored historic tobacco barn and comprehensive irrigation, is uniquely positioned for transition into a private equestrian estate or a commercial vineyard. Private viewings may be arranged exclusively through Peters & Associates.
