About this home

Stunning 15-Acre Private Retreat - Minutes from Downtown Chapel Hill & Carrboro! This breathtaking 15-acre retreat perfectly blends natural beauty, modern comfort, and energy efficiency. Surrounded by lush greenery and diverse wildlife, yet only a short drive to downtown Chapel Hill and Carrboro, this property offers the best of both worlds: peace, privacy, and convenience. Step inside the beautifully designed 3-bedroom, 4.5-bath Energy Star home built in 2010, featuring over 3,000 sq. ft. of thoughtfully crafted living space. The chef's kitchen boasts a center island and breakfast area, opening to a formal dining room, sunroom, and both living and family rooms with cozy fireplaces and soaring ceilings. A main-level study, also with a fireplace, offers flexibility as a potential 4th bedroom. The convenient laundry/mud room connects directly to the garage and includes a separate outdoor entrance. Each bedroom features its own private bath, while the spacious primary suite offers a serene ensuite retreat. The third-floor attic is wired, and ready to finish for added living space. Outside, enjoy endless possibilities: a two-stall barn with concrete aisle, private fenced garden beds ready for planting, a fire pit for gatherings, and wide-open spaces perfect for animals or outdoor recreation. Nature lovers will relish the deer, wild turkeys, eagle sightings, and even the occasional double rainbow. This rare property offers an unmatched combination of energy efficiency, acreage, and flexibility—a private sanctuary with quick access to everything Chapel Hill has to offer.
