Description

Welcome to a stunning, serene riverside retreat nestled in the heart of Chatham County. A nature lover’s paradise, the property spans over 21 acres along the banks of the picturesque Haw River, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury and natural beauty. Hike along the almost mile long trail next to the river, canoe or kayak and fish for bass, carp, crappie, sunfish or bluegill. Deer are often seen grazing on the property and this magical spot is home to amazing wildlife including otter and beaver. Keen birdwatchers will delight at the huge variety of birds including the chance to see bald eagles, great blue herons, ospreys, warblers, kingfishers, amongst others. Built in 2020, this contemporary masterpiece boasts an elegant design that seamlessly integrates its breathtaking surroundings. As you step inside, you’re greeted by an atmosphere of sophistication and panoramic views that invite the outdoors in. The focal point of this exceptional home is its view of arguably the most beautiful part of the river. Designed by renowned architect Arielle Schechter, named one of 2025’s 200 best residential architects in the nation by Forbes Magazine, this open floor plan home has many features that elevate it to at or near net zero: roof top solar array, geothermal heating and cooling, triple-glazed European passive house windows and doors, a water catchment system with two 5000 gallon cisterns, and solar reflective shades. Containing an infinity pool with spa and a steam shower, a separate workshop building with exercise room and upstairs bonus room, as well as a yurt, this private, residential resort must be seen to be appreciated.
