Located in the serene environs of Morganton, North Carolina, nestled alongside the John’s River and graced by the imposing presence of Grandfather and Table Rock Mountain, lies a picturesque 211-acre estate known as Double C Acres. This privately-owned haven, boasting rolling hills and idyllic landscapes, owes its existence to an unlikely benefactor - the beloved arcade classic, Whac-A-Mole.
Unveiling a charming backstory, listing agent Julie Breedlove recounts the surprising genesis of this pastoral paradise. The brainchild of Joyce and Bob Cassata, Whac-A-Mole sprung forth from their enterprise, Bob’s Space Racers, a renowned hub for arcade amusement game manufacturing based in Florida.
Yet, beyond the allure of arcade fame, the Cassata family's true passion lies with equine companionship. The heart of Double C Acres beats with the rhythm of hooves, as it serves as a sanctuary for American Paint Horses and American Quarter Horses. Renowned for breeding excellence, the Cassatas have sculpted a legacy of champions, with over a hundred world titles adorning their name.
Immersed in the equestrian ethos, Double C Acres stands as a testament to meticulous design and unwavering dedication. The equine enclave boasts a 21-stall barn, thoughtfully outfitted with amenities to ensure the well-being of its inhabitants. From Lucus Equine Equipment facilitating cross ventilation to automatic waterers ensuring hydration, every detail reflects a commitment to equine welfare.
Encompassing 70 acres of meticulously fenced pastures, the estate affords ample space for equine exploration. A haven for horse enthusiasts, Double C Acres exudes an air of tranquility, complemented by miles of trails, verdant wildlife habitats, and 1,600 feet of riverfront serenity. Amidst the breathtaking vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this hidden gem beckons to those who seek solace in nature's embrace.
