Tucked along the quiet edge of Umstead State Park, this extraordinary estate offers a rare balance of architectural sophistication, natural serenity, and intentional design. Set on 1.88 acres backing to over 5,000 acres of protected parkland, this 7,235 square foot residence is a true forest side retreat where modernism meets material warmth. Thoughtfully designed by ThoughtCraft Architects, built by Rufty Homes, and curated by Verity Design Studio, the home is defined by clean geometry, expansive glass, and a refined palette of wood, stone, and light. Every space is intentionally composed, where sunlight shifts throughout the day and each window frames the surrounding landscape like art. The main living areas flow seamlessly, anchored by a sculptural kitchen with custom cabinetry, natural stone surfaces, and a monastic yet inviting presence. Interiors are layered with texture and restraint, allowing the architecture and environment to take center stage. With 5 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, each private retreat is designed for stillness and comfort, featuring spa like baths, curated finishes, and expansive views of the forest. The primary suite offers a secluded wing with a private terrace, custom dressing gallery, and flexible space ideal for a wellness studio, library, or creative retreat. Outdoor living is equally immersive, with thoughtfully designed spaces including a pool pavilion, dining terrace, fire courtyard, and native landscape that guides you from one setting to the next. Surrounded by miles of trails and preserved land, the experience of the home extends far beyond its walls. Located just minutes from RDU, downtown Raleigh, and the area's top schools, healthcare, and cultural destinations, this home offers a rare intersection of privacy and convenience. A place where architecture and landscape exist in harmony, crafted for those who value design, intention, and a quieter expression of luxury.
