Privately nestled on nearly 8 acres of lush, wooded land adjacent to the protected North Carolina Botanical Garden, this custom-designed California Contemporary is a rare fusion of natural serenity and modern luxury. Designed by renowned architects Dail Dixon and Ellen Weinstein and built by Gary Scronce, this expansive estate offers over 6,200 square feet of refined living space, plus an additional 900+ sq ft above the garage with a separate entrance—ideal for a guest apartment, in-law suite, or private office. From the moment you step into the stunning foyer, you're welcomed into an expansive living and dining area—perfectly designed for effortless entertaining, even on a grand scale. Soaring ceilings, clean architectural lines, and an abundance of natural light define every space. At the heart of the home lies a chef's kitchen equipped with a Wolf range, separate SubZero refrigerator and freezer, custom teak cabinetry, generous counter space, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen opens seamlessly into a keeping room with a striking stone fireplace and a sunlit breakfast area, creating a warm and functional hub for daily living. Retreat to the spacious primary suite, a private haven with its own stone fireplace, serene garden views, and a spa-like bath complete with soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and an attached exercise room that overlooks the tranquil saltwater lap pool. Additional flexible spaces include a floor-to-ceiling library, a large office (or potential 4th bedroom), and an expansive den that could easily become a 5th bedroom with the addition of a closet. The home also features a partial basement and abundant storage throughout. Thoughtfully engineered with passive solar design, 2x6 exterior wall construction, motorized hurricane shutters, a whole-house generator, and a dedicated irrigation well, this home offers both peace of mind and year-round efficiency. Located within the award-winning Chapel Hill/Carrboro school district, this one-of-a-kind estate delivers the perfect balance of architectural excellence, functional luxury, and natural beauty. Private. Peaceful. Purposefully Designed. Welcome Home.
