Set behind an iconic lion flagstone gate, this private 5-acre hilltop estate is ideal for family gatherings, corporate retreats, and executive stays in the heart of the Research Triangle, just 10 minutes from RDU Airport.
The dinning room and three-level deck directly overlook a pickleball and junior basketball court combo—perfect for both active play and relaxed conversation. Evenings bring everyone together for a private cinema experience featuring a 192” projector screen, immersive surround sound, chandelier lighting, a popcorn machine and a wine cooler.
Outdoor spaces are designed for connection and wind-down: an arched rose walk garden, a firepit set in a large open space, a gazebo on hill side, and an outdoor gas fire table on the deck for evening conversations or informal meetings. Indoors, entertainment continues with ping pong, foosball, chess, mini basketball, and a pool table.
With multiple bedrooms, generous common areas, and a quiet hilltop setting near major RTP hubs, the estate balances togetherness and privacy for multi-generational families, leadership offsites, or extended executive stays. The property is pet-friendly with a fenced yard for furry companions.
