Description

A View Like No Other

Often called the best view in the Triangle, this extraordinary estate sits atop Edwards Mountain, the highest point between Chapel Hill and the coast. From its perch, a jaw-dropping 180-degree panorama stretches for 30 miles, creating a dynamic and ever-changing canvas. Sunrises are particularly breathtaking here, painting the sky and the landscape in vibrant color each morning.

Design That Tells a Story

Inside, the home is a masterpiece of style and storytelling. Designed by an Emmy-winning designer to be his personal sanctuary, the interiors blend California casual ease with European sophistication. Antique fireplaces, centuries-old beams, reclaimed wide-plank floors, and thick stone accents reflect a life of world travel and curated treasures. Every detail has been carefully considered to balance beauty, comfort, and effortless living. Clad entirely in hand-cut, six-inch-thick stone with a slate roof, the home has earned the nickname “the castle.” Two oversized two-car garages offer generous storage—one plumbed for a dog wash or sink, the other extra deep to accommodate a boat, perfect for weekend adventures at nearby Jordan Lake.

A Kitchen With a View

The kitchen is both a chef’s dream and a gathering place, where even doing the dishes comes with a spectacular view. Anchored by two large islands and outfitted with marble countertops and custom cabinetry, it includes a Subzero Pro refrigerator, beverage fridge, fridge drawers, a Wolf six-burner gas range with griddle and double convection ovens, a Viking wall oven, warming drawer, and a steamer/dehydrator. The space opens to the family room with a cast stone fireplace and walls of windows overlooking the pool and the endless horizon beyond.

Spaces for Creativity and Connection

Adjacent to the kitchen, a large project room features two built-in desks, a deep counter for hobbies or gift wrapping, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, and direct outdoor access—ideal for gardeners, artists, or pet lovers. A wireless perimeter fence adds flexibility for pets to roam. On the main level, a turreted round office, two-story dining room with antique French beams, a dramatic fireplace, and a spiral stone staircase enhance the home’s sense of old-world charm and character. The private owner’s wing offers exceptional views, a luxurious bath with a stone feature wall, and a huge shower that opens to the surrounding woods.

Room for Everyone

Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, plus two separate bonus  wings—each with its own full bath. One is perfect for guests, a nanny, or an in-law suite with nearby access to an elevator that reaches all three floors. The other wing offers privacy for a home office, studio, or playroom.

Entertainment at Every Level

The walk-out lower level is built for entertaining and wellness, with a full second kitchen, home theater, gym, bonus room, and bathroom. Outside, a dramatic infinity-edge pool and spa cascade toward the view, surrounded by a lanai, pool house with full bath, and expansive patios designed for hosting. Guests will be left speechless.

Life Inside the Gates

This 2.5-acre retreat is nestled within the gated Governors Club community, where 24-hour security provides peace of mind and a suite of luxury amenities await. Enjoy 27 holes of golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, fitness, dining, a dog park, and a vibrant social calendar for all ages. The community ranks in the top 5% of private clubs worldwide and remains the Triangle’s only gated golf and country club.

A Sanctuary Beyond Compare

Though it feels a world away, this peaceful, private estate is just minutes from RDU Airport and the culture, convenience, and connection of Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh. More than a home, this is a rare and remarkable living experience—designed to inspire awe, evoke calm, and offer a daily reminder of the beauty of the world outside your window.
