What is your definition of enough "room to roam?" Do you envision miles and miles of sky against the horizon? Do you dream of green pathways winding through the woods as far as the eye can see? Maybe you simply want to escape the residential claustrophobia that often accompanies urban neighborhoods where as many houses as possible are built on lots that once held only a single home? If any of these scenarios sound like they belong on your "must-have" list for a new home, 363 Wild Flower Trail might be what you've been looking for.

Part of the Lingle Farms neighborhood, a place described as "a picturesque 272-acre family farm featuring several streams, a large lake, and areas of both hills and flatlands," 363 Wild Flower Trail is a 3,500-plus-square-foot traditional only five minutes from Childress Vineyards, 15 minutes from High Rock Lake and 25 minutes from Salisbury. Also convenient to Winston-Salem by Highway 150, 363 Wild Flower Trail offers beautiful views, a multiacreage homesite and the type of floor plan that can be adapted to any homeowner's needs.

"This house is roughly about 3,600 square feet and was custom built by the current owners," said Leonard Ryden Burr's Jason Westmoreland. "It includes about 3 acres and is on the private lake."

From the front and back staircases to the soaring two-story great room, 363 Wild Flower Trail has many desirable architectural features. Stately columns provide visual separation between the family room, living room and a sitting area, and open railing defines an upstairs media and office space.

The kitchen showcases stainless-steel appliances, custom maple cabinetry, and a convenient two-tier eat-in bar that is perfect for after-school snacks or casual meals. Hardwood floors add elegance to the main level, and large windows provide abundant natural light and serene views of the natural surroundings.

One of the most noticeable features of 363 Wild Flower Trail is the entertaining capacity. Inside, the main-level rooms are open and spacious, and it isn't hard to imagine large family gatherings that spill over onto the roomy covered porches. The large yard is ideal for family football games or cookouts, and plant lovers will inherit a blank canvas for their garden designs.

"There are also a heated and cooled workshop on the property and an invisible backyard fence, which might be important to families with pets," Westmoreland said. "With the acreage and the private lake, this is a wonderful property for people who want to enjoy country living."

This uncommon property at 363 Wild Flower Trail lists for $489,900 and has four bedrooms and three full and one half-baths. To schedule a private showing, call Jason Westmoreland at Leonard Ryden Burr Real Estate at 336-779-9252.
