A Majestic Haven on the Haw

Welcome to an extraordinary riverside sanctuary less than 20 minutes from the heart of Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina. This 21-acre estate, gracing the banks of the majestic Haw River, seamlessly blends luxury living with natural splendor. The property features nearly a mile of private riverside trails, perfect for hiking or accessing the river for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing--with abundant bass, carp, crappie, sunfish, and bluegill.

This enchanting refuge teems with wildlife. Deer regularly graze the grounds, while otters and beavers make their home along the riverbank. Bird enthusiasts will marvel at the diverse avian population, including majestic bald eagles, great blue herons, ospreys, warblers, and kingfishers.

Your home is comparable to this natural environment's beauty. Built in 2020 and designed by acclaimed architect Arielle Schechter--recognized among Forbes Magazine's 200 Best Residential Architects of 2025--this contemporary masterpiece showcases sophisticated design that harmonizes with its stunning setting. Breathtaking views of what many consider the river's most picturesque section are displayed through expansive windows, seemingly dissolving the boundary between indoors and out.

Environmental consciousness meets luxury in this near net-zero residence, featuring:

* Rooftop solar array
* Geothermal heating and cooling
* Triple-glazed European passive house windows and doors
* Advanced water catchment system with dual 5,000-gallon cisterns
* Solar reflective shades

The property's resort-like amenities include:

* Infinity pool with spa
* Steam shower
* Separate workshop building with exercise room
* Upstairs bonus room
* Private yurt

This secluded residential resort offers an unparalleled living experience that must be seen to be truly appreciated.
