Property description
Welcome to 1021 Parchemin Trail — Surrounded by rolling fenced pastures, hardwoods and a private pond, this private 10-acre luxury equestrian estate offers exceptional privacy while being conveniently located only 10 minutes from downtown Chapel Hill and UNC. Designed by renowned architect Stephen Clipp, this custom English Country Manor blends timeless European-inspired architecture with modern comfort in one of the Triangle’s most coveted settings. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings, solid wood doors, wide-plank pine floors, and walls of windows fill the home with warmth and natural light. The chef’s kitchen features custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, new double ovens, and a gas cooktop designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Multiple stacked-stone fireplaces anchor inviting gathering spaces, while the primary suite offers a spa-inspired retreat complete with a soaking tub, polished wood counters, and a rare antique mantle sourced from a pre-Civil War home. The five-stall barn is a dream for equestrian enthusiasts. Designed by Linda Dreher (built 2000) constructed of concrete-filled cinderblock with a stucco finish, it offers five oversized 12x12 custom stalls, a wash stall with hot/cold water and heat lamps, fans in every stall, and direct pasture access. The 120 x 220 foot riding ring is perfect for dressage or jumping. The two-story tack room is heated and cooled and has a conveniently located washer and dryer for saddle pads and blankets. A spacious 1479 sq foot apartment above the barn is a perfect for a care taker or an in-law residence. The oversized hayloft has ample storage. Located within the highly sought-after Chapel Hill-Carrboro school district, this architect-designed luxury estate is a masterclass in equestrian living.
