Property Description
Amidst the weathered hills and wide-banked creeks of northern Chatham County, the idea of community - a tapestry of people and their intrinsic connections to the land and to one another - remains alive and well. Here, in a small neighborhood known as Indian Landing, perched atop a ridge overlooking the confluence of Crows and Terrells Creeks, sits a property like no other. Custom-designed and built in 1991, this passive solar single-story home is a monument to nature, southwest-facing and boasting walls of windows, a sunroom, two decks, a patio, and a screen porch. Subtle contemporary lines make it bright and airy but without wasted space. You'll find three ample bedrooms inside plus a flex/office space, and a full walkout workshop at the rear of the house, used for many years as a pottery studio. A classic Vermont Castings woodstove compliments the modern HVAC, ready to stave off the coldest winter nights with the crackle of a warm fire. At just over three acres, the land is its own attraction: The hillsides are studded with massive volcanic boulders from the area's geothermally active past, lovingly tended paths meander through the trees to a sitting area by a sandy bend in the creek, flourishing gardens feature pollinator-friendly plants, and there is even a site approved for a 2-bedroom yurt or ADU. Incredibly, this home has been under the same ownership since its construction: The new owner will enjoy copious maintenance records for improvements through the years, including (but not limited to) whole house water filtration, cork flooring, updated countertops, kitchen appliances, and a new metal roof in 2023. Robust water pressure, 400mbps fiberoptic internet, and a 50amp circuit suitable for connection to an EV car charger ensure modern convenience, even in this rural setting. From the earliest inhabitants, the Sissipahaw - who used this site as a camp upstream of the Haw, to the few dozen neighbors who pitch in when a tree branch falls across the road, or who trade canned vegetables from their gardens, this property offers an unparalleled opportunity to find your own place in a community that has nurtured, sustained and thrived for millennia.
