Property Description

The Deep River Retreat - Waterfront Property. Don't miss the drone tour and experience this property's incredible natural setting: https://showspacesphoto.hd.pics/275-Mill-Stone-Rd-EXT/idx Tucked away on nearly 5 private acres and bordered by protected NC State Park lands, this extraordinary timber-and-stone residence features 526 feet of Rocky Branch Creek frontage, accessible by private trail, deeded access to the Deep River, and a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. This is more than a home. It's a retreat. Custom crafted with exceptional attention to detail, this 3,529-square-foot residence blends rustic elegance with modern comfort. Exposed timber beams, soaring knotty pine ceilings, rich hardwood floors, custom-milled trim throughout, and a dramatic 20-foot dry-stacked stone fireplace accented by imported Pennsylvania bluestone mantels anchor the home's warm, lodge-inspired interior design. Generous windows frame tranquil woodland views, while expansive Ipe hardwood decking wraps around the front and side of the home, seamlessly connecting the interior to the screened porch, pool, and surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring abundant workspace, a charming redwood breakfast nook, dedicated coffee bar, wine bar, and easy access to both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. The main-level owner's suite offers a peaceful retreat with serene woodland views. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and flexible living spaces. A standout feature is the 636-square-foot bonus room above the oversized two-car garage, complete with a full bathroom and separate entrance. This versatile space offers endless possibilities for guest accommodations, a home office, a creative studio, or whatever best suits your needs! Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. Follow private trails to Rocky Branch Creek and the Deep River, launch a kayak, fish from the riverbank, cool off in the pool, or relax on the spacious screened porch as nature becomes the backdrop to everyday life. Whether enjoying your morning coffee, entertaining friends, or unwinding after a long day, the outdoor living spaces offer a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. A substantial 1,230-square-foot detached workshop (615 sq ft lower level / 615 sq ft upper level) with a metal roof, electricity, and a 10-foot overhead garage door provides exceptional space for woodworking, equipment storage, vehicle restoration, small business operations, hobbies, or serious workshop use. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, artisan, collector, entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking room to breathe, this property offers possibilities seldom found in today's market. Enjoy waterfront living along Rocky Branch Creek plus deeded access to the Deep River, one of North Carolina's most scenic and historic river corridors. This unique combination provides a rare opportunity to own land connected to the headwaters of the Cape Fear River Basin while enjoying the privacy and beauty of a Creekside setting. Built for beauty as well as durability, the exterior features HardiePlank siding accented by cedar trim, complementing the home's timeless timber-and-stone aesthetic while providing long-lasting, low-maintenance performance. Few properties combine creek frontage, deeded river access, protected bordering lands, a custom timber-and-stone residence, a chef's kitchen, a private pool, an in-law suite, expansive outdoor living spaces, and a substantial workshop in a single offering. Conveniently located near Apex, Pittsboro, Chapel Hill, Jordan Lake, and the expanding US-1 corridor, this remarkable property offers the perfect balance of seclusion, accessibility, and lasting value.
