Home Description
Welcome to your serene retreat just minutes from Downtown Hillsborough—this stunning custom-built passive solar home sits on 10.35 acres of picturesque land, thoughtfully designed for year-round comfort and sustainability. Perfectly positioned to face true South, the home harnesses the sun's energy through a smart combination of concrete slab floors, strategically placed windows, and awnings—keeping it warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
The vibrant red metal roof adds a bold architectural statement and superior durability, beautifully complementing the cedar wood exterior. Inside, you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a full walk-out basement featuring a finished office, plumbing ready for an additional bathroom, and ample storage space with Superior Walls construction.
The heart of the home lies a one-of-a-kind open kitchen and living area. The kitchen features elegant black soapstone countertops, ambient lighting, and serene views, centered around a striking antique kitchen island with a rich history—repurposed from a vintage fabric mill and equipped with a built-in power outlet. The adjoining living room is filled with natural light and scenic vistas, anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove capable of heating the entire home. For added comfort and efficiency, dual HVAC systems—new in 2024 and 2025-ensure added convenience.
Throughout the home, reclaimed materials lend warmth and character: wood flooring from a historic Durham tobacco drying shed; hand-hewn beams, railings, and trim from trees on the property; and a distinctive vanity crafted from a Duke University chalkboard and antique gramophone stand. Additional upgrades include new interior paint and new carpet (2025), adding a clean and modern touch to this uniquely crafted home.
Outdoors, the property offers a seamless extension of the home's intentional design and harmony with the land. A tranquil creek winds through the grounds, complemented by mature blackberry bushes and fruit trees-apple, cherry, peach, and pear. The property also includes 3 acres of fenced pasture, a 4'' cement pad for basketball half-court, and a small barn with a chicken coop. This extraordinary property embodies a rare blend of rural tranquility, elegant sustainability, and elevated daily living.
Unwind and take in the surrounding beauty from the screened porch, front rocking chair porch, or west-facing porch for spectacular sunsets. All of this—less than 5 miles to Eno River Farm and Broken Spoke Farm with fresh produce, homemade ice cream and events; and less than 10 miles from downtown Hillsborough's farmers market, Weaver Street Market, charming shops and restaurants.
This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle of quiet luxury and natural simplicity. Embrace comfort, inspired craftsmanship, and peaceful connection to nature. Come experience it for yourself—schedule your showing today!
