Welcome!
Linbrook Heritage Estate is located in Trinity, North Carolina. Trinity sits in the northwestern corner of Randolph County, which is situated in the central part of the state, midway between the coastal plain to the east and the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west. It rests in the foothills of the oldest mountain range in the United States, the Uwharrie Mountains, and is crossed by two rivers, the Deep River and the Uwharrie River.
Jerry and Linda Neal, owners of Linbrook Heritage Estate, are strongly connected to the land on which the Estate is found. Mr. Neal’s ancestors settled in the area nearly 250 years ago, forming a bond to this area of Randolph County that Mr. Neal continues to strengthen today. Each of the three properties found on Linbrook Heritage Estate demonstrates the significance of Randolph County, its land, and its people.
We invite you to tour all three of the properties comprising Linbrook Heritage Estate or to tour one with the promise that you’ll come back to visit us again soon.
