Factoid: The Ranch also happens to be very close to extremely important Civil War Battle sites. In fact, the last great battle the South fought was at the Bentonville Battleground just across the Neuse River, fought between Generals Sherman and Johnston. The infamous "Sherman's March" that so destroyed Georgia and South Carolina in fact ended only when Sherman received the news of Lee's surrender to Grant while he was encamped just four miles away from where the Ranch stands today. And that's the
only reason Raleigh wasn't burned to the ground. Lots of ancient Indian and Civil War artifacts found in the area.

Another Factoid: Movie star Ava Gardner grew up and lived in two homes, both within a football field of the Ranch, and if you believe the local folklore, the clawfoot tub from her home is right here! A movie star walked these roads...

Final Factoid For Today: We're close enough to commute in less than an hour to virtually every employer, university, military base and medical facility in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Goldsboro, Fayetteville, and everywhere in between. We've had plenty of people live here and work at such entities as Duke University, Duke Medical Center, the Veteran's Administration (VA) Hospital, North Carolina State University (NCSU), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), businesses in the Research Triangle Park!, and military bases Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro and Fort Bragg in Fayetteville.
