About this home
Nestled atop one of the highest elevations in Chapel Hill, this extraordinary 9.8-acre compound in the prestigious Lake Forest neighborhood offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true architectural and historical treasure. Designed by renowned mid-century modern architect Sumner Winn, the 7,751 square foot ''Peg & Pat Owens'' residence is a masterwork of design and provenance.
From the moment you arrive, it's clear this is no ordinary property. Surrounded by wrought-iron gates, the grounds are impeccably maintained, unfolding in a series of thoughtfully landscaped vistas that feel both cultivated and naturally majestic. The stonework throughout the property was quarried on-site—a remarkable detail that roots the home in its land and lends a sense of permanence and timelessness.
A private tennis court and charming tennis house are tucked discreetly into the landscape, perfect for enjoying leisure and entertaining amidst the serenity of nature. The main residence embodies the finest elements of mid-century architecture: clean lines, expansive windows that blur the line between inside and out, and a reverence for materials and setting.
This is not just a home—it's a piece of Chapel Hill's legacy. An irreplaceable offering for the discerning buyer who appreciates the blend of architectural significance, unmatched privacy, and natural beauty.
