Home Tour Information

Interested in touring one of our homes?

Pre-screening is required before a showing can be scheduled. Whether you're looking to rent or purchase, we start with a brief pre-screening call to review your qualifications, answer your questions, and walk you through the showing process.

For rental properties, we'll also review the qualification requirements so you know what to expect before visiting the home. It's a simple conversation that helps us make sure we're starting on the right foot.

A note about Sundays: Our office is closed, but we're still available to assist with previously confirmed Sunday showings.

More about the Auralia experience

Welcome! We're so glad you found us.

At Auralia Residential, we believe finding the right home should be exciting, not overwhelming. Whether you're searching for your next rental or preparing to purchase a home, we're here to make the experience a little more personal and a lot less complicated.

We value your time, and we know you have questions. That's why every showing starts with a pre-screening call. It's where we review your qualifications, learn what matters to you, explain what comes next, and make sure you have everything you need before you tour.

Real estate is personal, and we believe every conversation should be too.

You'll find a friendly team that believes in clear communication, honest guidance, and being there when you need us. From that first phone call through move-in or closing day, we want you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident about your next move.

And if you've already scheduled a Sunday showing, you're all set! Although our office is closed on Sundays so our team can enjoy time with their families, we'll still be available to help with property access and anything you need during your confirmed tour.

We're not simply opening a door. We're helping you open the door to your next chapter.

Now for the fun part. Let's find a home you'll truly love calling your own. We can't wait to meet you!

Property Description

THE PRESTON WOODALL HOUSE | HISTORIC ESTATE. EVENT DESTINATION. YEAR-ROUND OPPORTUNITY. Established in 1890, The Preston Woodall House is one of Benson's most distinctive historic properties and an exceptional opportunity for a buyer seeking more than a traditional residence. At the heart of the property is its ballroom and event space—a setting capable of supporting weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings, holiday celebrations, private dinners, social events, milestone occasions, retreats and other year-round experiences, subject to applicable approvals. For a future wedding or event operator, the timing is especially compelling. Couples and event planners are already looking ahead to Spring 2027 and beyond, creating an opportunity for a new owner to begin positioning, branding and booking the property for its next chapter. The ballroom gives the property something increasingly valuable in the event business: flexibility. Indoor ceremonies. Receptions. Formal dinners. Corporate functions. Holiday parties. Networking events. Private gatherings. Combined with outdoor settings, overnight accommodations, gathering spaces and the historic character of the estate, the property offers the foundation for a wide range of potential residential, hospitality and event-oriented uses. Stay here. Host here. Celebrate here. Build here. Imagine: - A destination wedding and reception venue - Boutique hospitality or lodging - Corporate retreats and executive gatherings - Holiday and seasonal events - Private dinners and social experiences - Anniversary, birthday and milestone celebrations - Networking and business events - Owner-operated hospitality - A private historic estate with event capability - Or a combination of residential and business uses For the entrepreneur, event professional, hospitality operator or investor, the opportunity is not simply to purchase a historic property. It is the opportunity to create a multi-use destination with multiple potential revenue streams. The Preston Woodall House offers something difficult to recreate from the ground up: historic architecture, established gathering spaces, a dedicated ballroom, indoor and outdoor event possibilities, overnight accommodations and the character of a property with more than 130 years of history. Weddings may be part of the legacy. They do not have to be the entire business. The property is already here. The ballroom is already here. The history is already here. The next vision belongs to its new owner. 201 E Hill Street | Benson, NC Offered at $1,095,000 Potential commercial, hospitality, event, lodging and other uses are subject to zoning, permitting, licensing and applicable governmental approvals. Some marketing images may be virtually staged. The Preston Woodhall House has not operated since Covid in 2021. No financial records from 2022 - Current.
