About this venue
Sugarneck is rumored to have gotten its name by the bootleggers traveling along the Cape Fear River as a code word for the place where they would pick up their moonshine. Sugarneck reaches back long before smartphones and social media, back to a time when the only way to send a message was by writing a letter and sending it in the mail. One of the earliest U.S. Post Offices in North Carolina still stands strong today. It was a community where people gathered, shared news and good times. Built in 1874, the renovated original Cabin structure serves as a unique visual reminder of those simpler times. The Cabin and the Post Office are on the National Register of Historic Places. The vast scenic views of the North Carolina countryside along with the grandness of our 150 year old Oak trees do not go unnoticed, and at night, the stars light up the sky. Today, there is an unexpected immersive experience that brings history, nature and modern elegance together in total privacy.

Post Office
A Journey Through Time: Celebrate Your Special Moments at The Post Office
The Post Office is a true historic landmark on the property. It served as the community's post office from 1886–1905. The road you take upon entering Sugarneck was the travel path from Fayetteville to Durham. Travelers would cross the Cape Fear river using Avent’s Ferry hence the naming of the main Highway 42 / Avent’s Ferry Road which takes you to Sugarneck. The newly renovated space is ideal for meetings, small gatherings and private dinners. The covered patio is often used for rehearsal dinners, cocktail hour and a beautiful place to relax.
