What's around 707 Walnut Hill Dr

About this property

A Peaceful 25-Acre Estate with Pasture, Woods, Water, and Expansive Spaces for Entertaining and Everyday Living Tucked away on a no-outlet lane less than 10 minutes from downtown Hillsborough, this 25-acre estate offers uncommon stillness, natural beauty, and space to gather. Rolling pasture, woods, and a large pond stretch across the property, with no close neighbors, and every window and balcony has long-range views of land that you own. The home is designed like a country inn, with oversized living and dining areas that welcome large gatherings. The remodeled kitchen opens to a dining room with total seating for 20+, with sight-lines to open fields and the deep-blue pond. Professional landscaping surrounds the house with fruit trees, bulbs, and flowering favorites like dogwood, red-bud, magnolia, and Yoshino and weeping cherries that make spring especially vibrant. The walk-out lower level is dedicated to entertainment and relaxation, featuring a pub with fireplace, a game room, and a full theater with luxury seating. A separate entrance leads to a large patio and a fenced yard that backs up to mature woods, ideal for children, pets, or quiet evenings. This estate has hosted weddings under the trees, catered concerts on the lawn, New Year's Day gatherings, and neighborhood events with live music, with easy parking for dozens of cars. Indoors and out, there is space to entertain or to spread out in private comfort. When the guests are gone, daily life offers its own rewards. Choose from morning coffee on the loggia as deer pass by, an evening drink on the pond bench among turtles and birds, or sunset from the hilltop with sweeping views across your own land. Then perhaps stream a movie in the theater via the 1 GB fiber Internet connection and take an intermission break with snack and drinks in the adjoining pub. The 6,000-square-foot home includes 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, generous storage, and a main-level primary suite that supports long-term comfort. The acreage, with minimal restrictions, offers open pasture, wooded trails, and level ground that is suited for horses, gardens, a pool, or additional structures such as a barn, studio, or guest house. The property is less than 20 minutes from Duke University Medical Center and downtown Durham, 30 minutes from UNC-Chapel Hill or RDU International Airport, and offers easy access to I-85 and I-40. Just five miles away, downtown Hillsborough features the Riverwalk, farmers market, historic district, and dining. Outdoor escapes like Occoneechee Mountain and Eno River State Park are only minutes away. Properties of this scale and setting, combining quiet acreage with proximity to Chapel Hill, Durham, and RTP and lack of restrictive HOA oversight, are increasingly rare. Note: the existing 10 acre lot was merged with the 15.5 acre pond parcel across the street in 2024 to form a single large property, which is not reflected in its historic valuation.
