    What's special

    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 with mature hardwoods 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.
