Escape to your own private retreat, fondly called "The Hollow" on 14.34 pristine acres in Wake County. The lane runs for a tenth of a mile beside a two-acre pond. At the end of the lane, you encounter a custom-built mountain-style home combining timeless craftsmanship with modern updates, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful country living just minutes from everyday conveniences. Inside, you'll find stunning reclaimed heart pine hardwood floors sourced from the seller's family farm in Eastern North Carolina, with wood dating back to 1805. Recently refinished, these one-of-a-kind floors showcase their original character and beauty throughout the main living areas. New carpet has been installed in all bedrooms, and the full bathrooms feature new luxury vinyl plank flooring. The beautifully renovated kitchen (2020) is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring quartz countertops, shaker-style Kith Kitchens cabinetry with full access cabinetry construction, a stone tile backsplash, and updated appliances, including a new cooktop/oven installed in July 2026. A built-in speaker system adds convenience and ambiance throughout the home. Step outside to the expansive wraparound deck, where you'll enjoy peaceful views of your private pond and the surrounding woods. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, entertaining friends, or simply taking in the sights and sounds of nature, this outdoor living space is a true highlight of the property. Additional updates include a new roof (2020). Gather around the inviting fireplace, currently wood-burning but already equipped with a gas line for an easy conversion if desired. Surrounded by mature trees and exceptional privacy, this remarkable property offers the perfect blend of rustic elegance, modern comfort, and natural beauty—all within Wake County. Feel free to walk the property, particularly the woods behind the home. An old logging trail starts beside the fireplace to allow access to the beautiful 100 year old or older forest.
