About this home

IVY HALL | HISTORIC ESTATE & TURNKEY EVENT VENUE Some properties offer an investment. Others offer a story. Ivy Hall offers both. Welcome to Ivy Hall, formerly known as Yankee Hall, a magnificent historic estate where the charm of nineteenth-century architecture meets the excitement of a thriving special event destination. With roots dating to 1875, this extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to acquire an established event venue business, complete with its beautiful grounds, multiple buildings, furnishings, and business assets. The Yankee Hall name has long been associated with the history and folklore of eastern Pitt County. Stories of early settlements, prominent families, Civil War activity, and even legendary outlaws have circulated through generations. While some tales remain part of local folklore, they add an intriguing dimension to an already remarkable property. The centerpiece of the estate is the impressive 8,713-square-foot historic residence. Original oak and pine hardwood floors, ornate fireplaces, elegant chandeliers, intricate architectural details, and a breathtaking curved staircase create an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated in modern construction. The historic home accommodates intimate gatherings of approximately 50 guests, providing a beautiful setting for weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, anniversary celebrations, and private or corporate functions. Upstairs, a charming bridal suite offers a bedroom, sitting area, fireplace, and clawfoot tub. For larger celebrations, the Main Event Hall accommodates approximately 250 guests, providing a spacious and elegant setting for wedding receptions, corporate banquets, holiday parties, proms, fundraisers, and special occasions. The grounds are equally impressive, featuring mature trees, manicured landscaping, an ornamental fountain, a picturesque wedding gazebo, and a beautiful outdoor patio with firepits for evening entertaining. An additional Rustic Barn has been started but remains unfinished, offering exciting possibilities for expanding the venue's offerings. Above the barn, an apartment provides flexible space for caretaker accommodations or bridal preparations, complete with full-length mirrors and hair and makeup stations. Significant improvements include a roof approximately two years old and replacement of four of the five HVAC units in the historic home within approximately the last four and a half years. This is more than a real estate purchase. It is an opportunity to acquire an established business. The sale includes the land, buildings, furniture, linens, decorations, business name, website, social media accounts, and operating assets. Events are already booked for 2027 and 2028, offering a foundation for continued business operations. Financial information is available to qualified buyers. With its historic character, elegant event facilities, additional expansion potential, and established business presence, Ivy Hall offers a truly distinctive investment opportunity. Own a piece of the past. Build upon its success. Become part of Ivy Hall's next chapter.
