Wicker Branch is a 40-acre farm in Monroe, North Carolina — right off Hwy 601 with easy access and just nine miles from Main Street. You can enjoy a cozy fire on the farm, lounge on the over-the-water gazebo, and walk the quaint historic downtown of Monroe all in one afternoon.
The Main House is a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom farmhouse with two king suites, bunk rooms for the kids, and curated furnishings throughout. The Barn Suite sits on the upper floor of the barn — a 1,000 square foot loft with a king bed, an 8-foot bar top, and sunset views that come in through the primary bedroom better than you'd imagine.
Between them: a dock lined with string lights, swinging egg chairs, a personal hammock, a huge fire pit, and 40 acres of fields, woods, and a private pond. The neighboring cows provide the soundtrack. You won't hear much else.
While Wicker Branch is no longer the working farm it once was, the bones are still here — old barns, fields, fences, and wildlife around every corner. You might see us maintaining the property during your stay, but you won't hear us.
