Sunlight streams into every room of this passive-solar hilltop home overlooking the scenic Haw River at Chicken Bridge. The setting makes this 7.56-ac tract and home spectacular. This custom-built home is perched on the crest of a beautifully wooded hillside about 90 ft. above the river with 700 ft. of frontage to launch your kayak, hang your hammock, cast your fishing line, or just sit and watch the wildlife! The 3-story ( & daylight basement below) home, sided in cypress & cedar, has commanding views of the surrounding mature hardwoods. Kitchen, foyer, and dining floors are oak; living room floors are a combination of oak and antique brick (passive solar storage & place for your tropical plants). Half bath, laundry, and deck are also on main level. On 2nd floor, the 2 bedrooms each have adjoining baths with wonderful views. On the 3rd floor, the master suite opens onto a balcony overlooking the river and woodlands. An additional 2 tracts (5 & 9.47ac) with 3BR conventional septic systems installed are available nearby with private driveway. Easy 9-mi commute to Chapel Hill.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
