Property Description
Set high above the rambling Eno River, this builder's own Georgian manor is a masterclass in timeless elegance & pastoral perfection. Perched on a dramatic 70-foot bluff, the estate is surrounded by 26 private acres of rolling meadows and whispering hardwoods, including 9 acres of untouched conservation land that provide a substantial property tax benefit exceeding $220k. Take your golf cart or ATV down the 1+ mile of meandering trails that wind down to the river's edge, where you can catch glimpses of a bygone grist mill era, creating a setting that feels both storied & secluded. Crafted with uncompromising quality & an eye for enduring design, the residence showcases refined finishes & bespoke details at every turn. Brazilian cherry floors gleam beneath soaring 10+ foot ceilings, while walls of Andersen windows frame cinematic views in every direction. Four bedrooms (each with its own en suite) & multiple living spaces (indoors & out) provide plenty of space for everyone, with the star of the show being the first-floor primary suite featuring a serene sitting room, fireplace, dual closets, & a spa-like bathroom. The gourmet kitchen is both polished & purposeful, appointed with Viking & Miele appliances, rich granite countertops, & custom, solid maple cabinetry. Another (but not the last) fireplace between the breakfast room & den adds ambiance to the everyday. Formal & informal spaces flow effortlessly, while expansive front porches, a rear terrace, & a fire pit area offer sweeping vistas over the river, dramatic rock outcroppings, front meadow, & surrounding woods that envelope you in privacy. With zero light pollution around, the widow's walk is the perfect place to star gaze during meteor showers. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort & convenience, the home features dual laundry rooms, a massive mudroom/drop-zone, workshop spaces in the three-car garage, a partial basement, & a walk-in attic for all the storage you could ever need. The 60' shed with workshop could easily be converted to a horse stable for any equestrian enthusiasts. There is no shortage of activities your acreage can offer, but when you do decide to leave, you'll be only 9 minutes from downtown Hillsborough, & an easy drive in either direction to Durham and Mebane. Land with hundreds of years of history, a home that was built to last just as long, & tax breaks to top it all off...it just doesn't get much better than this. **Please note that Zillow reflects an incorrect tax assessment value. The correct valuation is $1,970,495. The conservation easement tax credit then brings the actual taxed value down to $1,750,099.
