Property Description

Nestled on over 76 acres of breathtaking countryside, this exquisite Greek Revival estate is a true masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. As you approach through the gated entrance, a stately tree-lined driveway welcomes you, setting the stage for the grandeur that awaits. The property is a picturesque retreat, featuring rolling hills, serene ponds, and meandering creeks, all enhancing the sense of peace and seclusion. The home itself is a striking architectural statement, with cast concrete walls and a brick exterior ensuring both beauty and durability. Stepping inside, you're greeted by soaring twelve-foot ceilings, magnificent windows that bathe the interiors in natural light, and rich 10-inch hardwood flooring that flows throughout. At the heart of the grand foyer, a spectacular circular staircase winds gracefully upward, adding an air of timeless elegance. Designed for both luxurious comfort and effortless entertaining, the residence boasts an open floor plan with expansive living areas. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's paradise, featuring a stunning blue gas range and hood as its centerpiece, complemented by double ovens, a steam oven, an apron sink, and an integrated espresso machine. Whether preparing an intimate meal or hosting a lavish gathering, this kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. Beyond the kitchen, the main level offers a distinguished cherry-paneled office, perfect for quiet study or remote work. Upstairs, a charming library with custom cherry bookcases provides a sophisticated retreat for book lovers. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, offering a spa-like escape with a double-sided gas fireplace, jetted soaking tub, spacious walk-in shower, and an oversized walk-in closet with custom shelving. Two additional well-appointed bedrooms each feature en suite bathrooms and generous closets, ensuring comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. The lower level is an entertainer's dream, complete with a theater room, wet bar, game room, and hidden wine cellar. A large laundry room with laundry chutes, a mudroom, and an additional bedroom suite round out this level. The attached oversized garage offers abundant storage space, catering to all practical needs. A 80KW generator is set up to power the entire property should the power go out. And two tankless water heaters provide continuous hot water. The estate extends far beyond the main residence, with multiple accessory buildings enhancing its versatility. Two barns provide ample space for equipment or livestock, while the charming guest house offers three bedrooms and two full baths, ideal for extended family, visitors, or caretakers. Nature lovers will revel in the abundant wildlife that graces the property, including a rare black fox, deer, wild turkeys, and elegant white egrets. Five striking peacocks and numerous chickens roam freely, adding to the estate's enchanting character. The stocked pond, teeming with bass, invites leisurely afternoons of fishing. With its unparalleled beauty and endless possibilities, this estate is more than just a home—it's a legacy. Whether envisioned as a private sanctuary, a working farm, or a future development opportunity, this remarkable property offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy, and natural splendor. The sunsets are magnificent throughout the year, and they can be enjoyed from the terrace off of the primary suite, or the main level terraces, all providing a panoramic view. Moments from downtown Zebulon, and within a convenient drive to downtown Raleigh, the location is ideal for those seeking privacy and seclusion with close access to town.
