Property Description
Privacy, peace, and quality like this are rare. Set on 25.27 acres along the Eno River and Hailey's Creek, this custom-built two-story estate residence is surrounded by protected acreage and conservation land, creating a natural and enduring buffer. The home offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths with a thoughtfully designed main-level layout that balances everyday comfort with refined finishes. The kitchen is appointed with GE Monogram stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, granite countertops, and an eat-in dining area, opening seamlessly to the living room with custom built-ins, a two-story stone fireplace, and abundant natural light. The primary suite is located on the main level, offering privacy and ease, with dual custom closets and a well-appointed en-suite bath featuring separate vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. A private office with custom cabinetry and a beautiful coffered ceiling is also located on the main level. Upstairs, the home continues to offer generous proportions, including additional bedrooms with walk-in closets, private baths, and a bonus room over the garage suitable for a variety of uses. Outdoor spaces are intentionally designed, featuring stamped concrete porches and patio, a built-in outdoor gas grill, and walking paths through the wooded acreage leading toward the creek and river. A 50' x 48' metal barn/shop provides exceptional flexibility, with a large door opening suitable for RV, boat or equipment storage, a separate 200-amp electrical meter, and 50-amp RV power with a dedicated pad. A welcoming front entrance and open front yard offer additional opportunity for outdoor enjoyment or future pasture use, while the wooded acreage and creek setting support abundant wildlife and a strong connection to nature. Located within a private four-home subdivision that terminates at this property, the setting is quiet and secluded, yet just minutes from downtown Hillsborough with convenient access to the Triangle and the Triad (I-40/I-85). A rare northern Orange County offering for those who value land, privacy, and long-term stewardship.
