About this home
Prime Development Opportunity: 2.42 Acres in the Heart of Chapel Hill. Secure a once-in-a-generation canvas in one of Chapel Hill's most storied enclaves, Rocky Ridge Farm. Spanning 2.42 pristine acres, this expansive lot offers the rare scale and seclusion required for a landmark custom estate, all within walking distance of the UNC campus. *Unrivaled Acreage: Over 300 linear feet of frontage on Laurel Hill Road, characterized by a majestic canopy of stately oaks, hickories, and established evergreens creates a peaceful setting and habitat for deer, owls, foxes, hawks, and a variety of songbirds. .*A Natural Sanctuary: The property offers a level of privacy seldom found in the campus core, bordering the 67-acre UNC Outdoor Education Center with its extensive trail network of hiking and running trails, mountain bike paths, an 18 hole disc golf course, and tennis and volleyball courts. *University Atmosphere: It's an absolute delight to sit outside and listen to the quarter-hour chimes from the Bell Tower, the sounds of the Marching Tar Heels practicing and the eruption of sound from the football and baseball games. *Development Potential -Build-to-Suit Canvas: Whether you choose to renovate and add on to the historic 1939 Dr. Harold W. Brown house or redevelop the site entirely, the lot size easily accommodates a significant architectural expansion, a modern luxury estate, or a multi-structure compound. *Existing Infrastructure: The grounds currently feature a concrete pool and terraced gardens, providing a mature landscape foundation for new construction. *Historical Prestige: Located in Rocky Ridge Farm, one of the nation's first planned subdivisions designed by Dr. W.C. Coker, this is an opportunity to own a piece of North Carolina history while defining its future. Rarely does a contiguous 2.4-acre parcel become available in this location. Bring your architect and your vision to Chapel Hill's most significant residential opening. Whether you choose to restore the historic 1939 residence or start fresh with a modern architectural masterpiece, this is the ultimate canvas for a legacy home....
