Home Description
If you've been dreaming of a luxury home that offers peace, privacy, and absolutely no unsolicited advice from an HOA, welcome to your dream come true. This 5.38-acre North Raleigh estate backs up to 60+ acres of pristine hardwoods and boasts 300 feet of frontage on Upper Barton's Creek. Translation? You'll be surrounded by nature—not neighbors.
And when you need to leave your secluded paradise (though we're not sure why you'd want to), RDU International Airport is only 15 minutes away. Yes, you really can have it all.
Curb Appeal with an Attitude
From the moment you arrive, the all-brick and stone exterior makes a statement: this home isn't here to follow trends. With Andersen vinyl-clad casement windows, a large screened porch, and a spacious deck for entertaining (or not), this is high-end living with a side of independence. The three-car garage and ample driveway parking provide plenty of room for your collection of vehicles—or your guests, if you decide to let them visit.
And best of all? No HOA. No letters about your flag, your camper, or your slightly over-the-top Halloween display.
Luxury That Speaks Softly... and Carries a Soapstone Fireplace
Step inside to find rich Canadian maple flooring on the main level, Patagonian rosewood upstairs, and solid cherry and mahogany doors throughout. Cherry trim and custom cabinetry give every room a warm, refined feel. Granite and marble countertops, a uniquely designed custom pantry, and yes, a tree trunk pedestal sink—because this is your sanctuary, and it's allowed to have personality.
The sunroom is perfectly positioned for southern exposure, the ideal spot for morning coffee or pretending to meditate. Downstairs, a full custom mahogany bar and a 1,500+ bottle wine cellar make entertaining easy—or provide the ideal retreat for quietly judging the world with a glass of red.
In the living room, a Tulikivi soapstone fireplace imported from Finland offers radiant warmth and old-world charm. In the primary suite, a second fireplace (river rock and slate) adds spa-like comfort to your private retreat, complete with cedar-lined walk-in closets and a bathroom that feels more resort than residential.
More Bedrooms. More Bathrooms. More Freedom.
With 5-6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms (yes, seven), everyone can have their space and no one has to wait in line. The library doubles as a sixth bedroom or home office—or secret poker den. The basement is already finished and has a separate entrance, perfect for a future in-law suite, home gym, or zombie apocalypse bunker.
Room to Grow (or Just Go Wild)
Finish the attic (already floored) into a bonus room or studio.
Build the pool and pool house of your dreams—there's room.
Shoot targets, build a zipline, create a disc golf course, construct a treehouse village. This is your land. Go nuts.
Extras That Aren't Extra
Gas tankless water heater & gas heat
Water softener with carbon filter
Septic system plumbed for 5 beds (and room to expand)
Foam insulation & interior soundproofing
No restrictions, no nonsense
Location, Location, Liberation
North Raleigh offers a prime location with easy access to 540, 40, and 85—just minutes to Downtown Raleigh, Durham, and RTP. Whether you're relocating for work, family, or just looking for a fresh start with room to breathe, this estate offers the luxury, privacy, and autonomy you deserve.
Come see it for yourself—and imagine what you could do with this much space, privacy, and freedom. Spoiler: whatever you want.
