Pinebluff

Pinebluff is a peaceful residential community just outside of Aberdeen on US Hwy 1. As the name implies, the entire community is laden with gorgeous pine trees and has remained primarily a residential community, since it's inception by John Patrick in 1884. Although John, North Carolina's first Commissioner of Immigration at the time, promoted Pinebluff in much the same manner that made Southern Pines blossom, several hotel fires in the area, during the early years, put a damper on it's commercial development.

With an area so thick in Pines and kindling, the hotels that were built from the timber initially, were prone to catch fire with the tiniest spark. Pinebluff has a town hall for government offices, a library, and a fire department, as well as a few local businesses.

If you're looking for the perfect residential area that's quiet and out of the hustle and bustle of town business, then this is the place. The natural beauty that has made Pinebluff a favorite of many locals, remains as unspoiled today as it was in the late 1800's.

Pinebluff's big lot sizes, heavily pine treed landscape and residential nature make it a fantastic choice for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the commercial side of the Sandhills. Lots are typically at least 1/2 and acre and the landscape is some of the most gorgeous property in the Sandhills area.

The landscape is also peppered with ponds and watering holes, the biggest of which, Pinebluff Lake, served early on as the town's water supply. People still fish, swim and hang out at Pinebluff Lake today.

Pinebluff's two original churches, Pinebluff United Methodist, at 275 East Philadelphia Avenue, and Ives Memorial Baptist church, at 365 East Philadelphia Avenue, still remain today. The look of Ives Memorial has changed a little over the years.

The east/west avenues here, much like Southern Pines, are named for areas where John Patrick hoped to attract settlers from, like Boston, Philadelphia and New England. This community is also a nice outlying area compliment because it allows landowners and residents to be just outside of Aberdeen, but still have the convenience of being at any store in town within 5 - 10 minutes.

Here, as in Aberdeen, real estate prices are typically more affordable than you may find in Pinehurst or Southern Pines, but you typically get a better lot or more land for the dollar that you spend. And it feels like a getaway. Keep the beautiful pines in place, and the only maintenace you have is raking pinestraw off the roof from time to time. The soft longleaf needles will hold down and prevent weeds from sprouting, while it blankets the areas surrounding your home.

Pinebluff has a population of around 1500 residents and kids attend Aberdeen area schools. Average home sales here float around $150K for pre-existing and around $190K for new construction. Farms and homes with acreage of course will be considerably more depending on property, amount of acreage and location within the community.
