A Home for the Ages. This beautiful, bespoke, and bucolic aerie is the embodiment of the authentic marriage of brilliant architecture by beloved Steven Clipp, a compilation of thoughtful design ideas, carefully curated materials, and skilled artisanship. Cue the calm on eleven pastoral and wooded acres in Boulder Hill Estates, five minutes to downtown Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and UNC. A long gravel driveway circles around a stone wall-lined garden and front entry. The stately French country exterior is ornamented with hard coat stucco, stone, and board-and-batten shutters. Every meticulous detail radiates quality, enduring style, and sophisticated comfort in a beautiful choreography of old-world craftsmanship. The open, light-drenched interior with soaring 11-foot ceilings welcomes with a vibrant front hall, grand gesture staircase, and serene flex room. The center axis of the house was purposely designed to create an enfilade, where the rooms are aligned for windows to frame inspiring vistas of the grounds and surrounding forest. The scene-stealing kitchen is a symphony of white and metallics; custom cabinetry; elegant hardware; go-on-forever granite counters; luxe separate SubZero refrigerator and freezer; Wolf six-plus-French burner gas range with electric ovens; statement Vent-a-Hood; two newer Cove dishwashers; power pantry; and optimal space-planning. While the kitchen works the crowd, wide-plank, honey wood floors unite the epic great room with scene-stealing wood-burning Rumford fireplace featuring a cast-stone mantel imported from Canada, and luminous dining room with space for everyone to enjoy decades of delicious, memorable meals. Inviting linger-longer lounging, tri-fold custom glass doors open onto the gracious covered veranda anchored by a trio of arches at each end and its own captivating fireplace. Homebody heaven awaits in the ante room to the main-level primary bedroom where built-in cabinetry and shelving, gas-log fireplace, as well as a curved window wall overlooking the picturesque pool, create a restorative spot to decompress and recharge. Sublime views continue in the primary suite where you can step out to the pool as well as relish a posh bathroom with heated floors and swoon-worthy closet. The upstairs central recreation room is at-the-ready for popcorn-fueled movie night. Suite dreams reign in spacious secondary bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms outfitted with chic counters, tile, and fixtures. An instagram-worthy mudroom hosts cool cubbies and spaces to stash everything the whole family needs on the way in-and-out of the three-car garage. Break out the bubbly and cheer to your 3000 bottle All-Heart Redwood cellar with Wine Guardian temperature control, waterfall display, and pullout shelves. Survey the splendor reflected in the Gress designed and crafted freeform, dark-bottom pool with spillover hot tub. Post-swim, laze on the bluestone patio and then meander over to the grill or wood-fired pizza oven to whip-up an easy feast. The greenhouse is green-thumb ready with 50-gallon thermal batteries keeping things warm and cozy through the winter. There is no forbidden fruit with a menagerie of apple, cherry, fig, pear, and hazelnut trees dotting the landscape. Walk the path through the woods to connect to the sidewalks and greenway trail of Southern Village, with access to shops, dining, movies, services, and Culbreth middle school. A double win: in the walk-zone for Carrboro high school plus lower county taxes. New and noteworthy: architectural shingle roof 2024; Trane upstairs HVAC 2023 and downstairs 2021; recreation room and four bedrooms have new carpeting 2024; solid core doors; whole house water filtration system; and sealed crawl spaces. Welcome to this magical refuge of life-enhancing spaces.

A rustic ramble through twenty-eight picturesque acres of Piedmont forest in Chapel Hill suddenly reveals this singular and stunning cozy Brutalist home, perched over idyllic Neville creek encircling a secluded property surrounded by lush flora and fauna. Designed by revered local architect Louis Cherry, the house draws inspiration from the domestic architecture of modernist masters Le Corbusier and Carlo Scarpa with their emphasis on graceful functionality, industrial materials, and open spaces. A classic modernist deck house once stood on the building site; unfortunately, it could not be saved. For his vision of the new home, the owner fully embraced the concept of ruinenlust, leaving the abandoned brick chimney and former foundation to provide contrast and counterpoint, counterpoising these discrete derelict structures alongside the bold, clean lines of the new cantilevered concrete construction. The house is rich in materials that soften the industrial concrete framework, from the reclaimed 19th century wide-plank hardwood floors (each hand-stained for uniformity), to the inviting tactility of the burlap walls in the living room, to the design-forward Enzo Mari-esque plywood kitchen. These thoughtful details are further elevated by the sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows, which suffuse the expansive interior spaces with sunlight and shadowplay, reflecting flickering glimpses of the landscape outdoors onto the walls and across the floors. The house unfolds over three levels, including two bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom featuring Heath Ceramics tiles, Duravit sinks and Hansgrohe faucets. The library sitting room, which could double as a third bedroom, is just off the long corridor overlooking the front courtyard. The heart of the home is the open entertaining space, with ample room for an oversized dining table, and the deep sunken living room, with its impressive fireplace hearth and custom built-in cabinetry. The stairs lead up to a third level and open out onto a spacious screened-in porch and an open rooftop deck that offers a tree-house vista of the surrounding scenic woodlands. A network of trails weaves through the property, leading to a magnolia grove established by the former owners of the original deck house, who were expert rare magnolia specimen collectors. It's an outdoor space perfect for peaceful contemplation, parties, or even pastoral weddings. This dreamy location is surprisingly only 3 miles from downtown Carrboro, where you can frequent all the best bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery stores in the area. This remarkable home is truly incomparable, utterly unlike any other in the Triangle.
