At the end of an old Chatham County gravel road sits a property truly unlike any other. Removed from the noise and congestion of town, the only sounds are bird songs and the melody of leaves. Perched high above a boulder-strewn creek on a hillside dotted with rhododendron, this modernist cabin brings a little Asheville home to the Triangle. The 3-sided wraparound deck provides an unparalleled vantage point to watch the change of seasons, from the deep quiet of winter to spring's green renewal. No matter the weather, elements of passive solar design, a full-size wood stove, and two modern ductless heat pumps ensure sustained comfort. Enjoy the singular charm of the handcrafted kitchen and the luxuries of the updated bathroom. With extras including an upstairs loft, 300-square foot basement/flex area below, a generous detached shed/studio and a lovingly-tended garden, you will find plenty of extra space to craft, exercise, brew, can, build, grow, paint, or anything else that so inspires. With ten private acres, the possibilities are unrivaled - and yet, the property sits only 15 minutes from Chapel Hill & Pittsboro, and just over 30 minutes from Cary via Highway 64. Though some repairs are needed to realize its full potential, this property is without question the only one of its kind, and offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put down your own set of roots.
