RARE opportunity to own 10 private acres along the HAW RIVER in Chapel Hill. Set high above the river, this wooded retreat offers an uncommon level of seclusion and takes full advantage of the views and the constant backdrop of moving water. Unwind on the screened porch, do morning yoga on one of many decks, or sit and do nothing but listen and watch the wildlife all around you. A gentle slope from the side yard takes you down, through the woods, to the banks of the river. Generous rock outcroppings tempt you scramble around, or provide a restful spot to sit and meditate and maybe catch site of a bald eagle. The whole setting invites you to take in the natural world and escape the news and the typical drama of daily life. You'll be sharing stories about the family of deer that you see each morning, the birds of prey that frequent the trees and river, the variety of bird song, and the hoots that you hear at night. Speaking of night, you'll remember what it's like to see stars and trust your senses. You'll become attuned to the rhythm of the cicadas and pretty soon you'll establish the slower pace of life that you've been craving for so long. Inside, the home welcomes you with a warm, relaxed, farmhouse feel. The brick fireplace anchors the oversized living room and the cottage style eat-in kitchen features a butcher block island and flows nicely to the screened porch. Upstairs, the primary suite overlooks the river and opens to its own expansive tree-house-like deck. Two additional bedrooms share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bath. You've got 2 options for flex space: A main-level room with built-ins could be a private office or quiet den. A separate bonus room over the garage provides flexibility for hobbies, guests, or play room. Freshly painted, new carpet, refreshed hardwoods and new light fixtures. Shown by appointment only. Driveway is gated.
