About this property

Jo Mac pond-side retreat

Welcome to this newly built home on Jo Mac Rd., 15 minutes from downtown Carrboro and 20 from downtown Chapel Hill (& UNC hospitals). The house sits in an open field uphill from a pond and surrounded on the other 3 sides by trees. It is near the HoneySuckle Teahouse (about a half mile away), the Eco-Institute at Rock Quarry Farm (a little over a mile away) & Rock Quarry Farm (about 3 miles away) -- not affiliated with any of those, we just know them as nearby neighbors doing neat work and hosting cool events!

Our home is fairly accessible, with a welcoming ramp from the parking area to the back door, ADA-compliant front and back doors, one-level living, and a large walk-in shower in the main bathroom.

House was spotlessly clean. Kitchen had everything needed and more. Bathrooms were big and updated. Beds comfortable with nice linens. House had nice spaces with a screened in porch as well as a nice front porch. Location was perfect for where we needed to be but also not far from all the areas nearby.

I would gladly live out the rest of my days at this beautiful place

The weekend spent at this place was perfect. You could not ask for a better experience. The house, the location, the cleanliness and ease of our stay was incredible but the most impressive and important factor was the communication and attentiveness given by the owner Alexandria. SHE made all the difference this important weekend stay. I can not say enough good things about our experience. This is the place to stay if in the area.
