Property Description

Nestled on 1.4 private acres in the heart of coveted Porters Neck, this is not just a home--it's a legacy build. Designed with exceptional flexibility for today's evolving lifestyles, this estate presents a rare luxury multigenerational living opportunity without sacrificing privacy, independence, or elegance. Custom-crafted with a level of quality and foresight that's increasingly difficult to achieve today, this property offers a rare opportunity to own something truly irreplaceable. The primary residence offers five bedrooms and five baths, anchored by 10-foot ceilings and a seamless blend of hardwood and tile throughout the first level. The layout is both refined and intentional, with widened hallways and doorways for ease of movement, and a private-entry office that creates a clean separation between work and home. The kitchen delivers on every level--designed for serious cooking and effortless hosting. Viking double ovens, a six-burner gas cooktop, custom cherry cabinetry carried to the ceiling, and a sweeping granite island set the tone. A full-height refrigerator and freezer, warming drawer, and a secondary prep space in the oversized laundry room elevate functionality without sacrificing flow. Built-in audio extends from the main living areas out to the porches, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Behind the walls, the investment continues. Built with 2x6 construction, copper plumbing, 600-amp electrical service, four-zone HVAC, and whole-home generator capability, this home was engineered for longevity. Kynar-coated windows and a deep Castle Hayne well paired with a modern water softening system provide dependable, high-quality water while reducing wear on plumbing fixtures and appliances, further reinforcing the level of infrastructure rarely seen in today's homes. A private elevator and expansive multi-level storage complete the main residence. Above the four-car garage, the detached apartment--spanning approximately 1,250 square feet--is fully furnished and thoughtfully finished with 9-foot ceilings, granite surfaces, and its own HVAC and generator hookup. More than a guest suite, this fully independent residence offers an ideal solution for multigenerational living, accommodating aging parents, adult children, live-in caregivers, long-term guests, or extended family while preserving privacy for everyone. It functions as a true second home. A separate climate-controlled workshop with built-ins and heavy-duty electric hoists adds another layer of versatility--ideal for collectors, hobbyists, or anyone who values space that works as hard as they do. More than a luxury home, this estate offers the rare combination of a custom primary residence, fully independent secondary living quarters, exceptional infrastructure, and the flexibility to adapt as a family's needs evolve. This is the kind of property that doesn't come to market often--and once it's gone, it's nearly impossible to recreate.
