A masterclass in mid-century modern design, this 3,925 sq ft bungalow sits on 53 acres of lush forest and permaculture gardens — a once-in-a-generation blend of architectural sophistication and natural retreat. It's a home with so many opportunities: perfect for multi-generational living, a home business or income potential under A3 zoning, which allows for a bed & breakfast. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s harmony between home and nature, the layout is as clever as it is comfortable, spanning three distinct wings. At the heart of the home, a window-lined hallway casts light into each room, framed by brick columns and bespoke hardwood floors. Perfect for entertaining, the oversized living room with a stone-set fireplace, formal dining room and large family room flow seamlessly into the kitchen. Here, a masonry-framed cooking area, custom wood counters, updated appliances (2021) and seating for six create the ideal gathering space. The bedroom wing offers a generous primary suite with double closets, and a vanity room with double sinks that leads into a 3-piece bath. Three additional bedrooms with deep closets and serene views share a 4-piece bath with walk-in glass shower and double sinks. A private guest/in-law wing features its own entrance, bedroom, full bath, office/den, laundry and 2-piece bath. A 3-car, 900 sq ft garage, open-concept basement with 9’ ceilings, and a 1,620 sq ft unfinished addition provide incredible flexibility for future expansion. A 300m tree-lined driveway ensures complete privacy, leading to a home and property that have been meticulously maintained. The organically cared-for land is alive with walking trails, fruit and nut trees, and wildflower meadows — a sanctuary just minutes from Durham. This is more than a home: it’s a retreat, a lifestyle, and a legacy. Don’t be TOO LATE*! *REG TM. RSA. (id:15069)
