Are you looking for the perfect home that is also a sanctuary of tranquility? Hillcastle offers modern craftsman style convenience just minutes from Carrboro and is nestled on a beautifully unique 11-acre wooded tract in rural Chapel Hill. This extraordinary home was hand-designed to be reminiscent of European homes, with board and batten siding, and a beautiful dining room castle turret, by its only owners for both maximum aesthetic beauty and practical living features for a family in all stages of life. With beautiful granite countertops, custom tiled backsplashes and shower designs, a hidden murphy door closet, stunning flooring, and a large jet jacuzzi tub that is surrounded by windows that overlook the wooded lands outside. The windows give a 360-degree view into local wildlife year-round including foxes, deer, wild turkeys, and beavers. They also allow you to enjoy the hardwood forest through each changing season, from spring to snowfall. You can sit on the front porch and enjoy listening to the wind, whisper through the pines and pass through the leaves of hundreds of years old oak trees and holly. The back screened porch and separate deck overlook an acre + pond on the property that is home to wild bream and bass. The ¾ mile shared private road meanders along old Chapel Hill farmland in between barns, and meadows, and dead ends at this amazing home that is truly a retreat to the best of natural North Carolina beauty inside and out.
