Set high above the rambling Eno River, this builder's own Georgian manor is a masterclass in timeless elegance & pastoral perfection. Perched on a dramatic 70-foot bluff, the estate is surrounded by 26 private acres of rolling meadows and whispering hardwoods, including 9 acres of untouched conservation land that provide a substantial property tax benefit exceeding $220k. Take your golf cart or ATV down the 1+ mile of meandering trails that wind down to the river's edge, where you can catch glimpses of a bygone grist mill era, creating a setting that feels both storied & secluded. Crafted with uncompromising quality & an eye for enduring design, the residence showcases refined finishes & bespoke details at every turn. Brazilian cherry floors gleam beneath soaring 10+ foot ceilings, while walls of Andersen windows frame cinematic views in every direction. Four bedrooms (each with its own en suite) & multiple living spaces (indoors & out) provide plenty of space for everyone, with the star of the show being the first-floor primary suite featuring a serene sitting room, fireplace, dual closets, & a spa-like bathroom. The gourmet kitchen is both polished & purposeful, appointed with Viking & Miele appliances, rich granite countertops, & custom, solid maple cabinetry. Another (but not the last) fireplace between the breakfast room & den adds ambiance to the everyday. Formal & informal spaces flow effortlessly, while expansive front porches, a rear terrace, & a fire pit area offer sweeping vistas over the river, dramatic rock outcroppings, front meadow, & surrounding woods that envelope you in privacy.

The correct valuation is $1,970,495. The conservation easement tax credit then brings the actual taxed value down to $1,750,099.

This one sits tucked right into a rare and coveted location in the center of Hillsborough's Historic District — close to downtown, the shops, the library, the parks and trails that make this town so beloved; everything you need is just minutes away. The current owners bought the home in 2021 and began working on an impressive suite of upgrades. Hardwood floors and tile replaced vinyl flooring; a walk-in pantry replaced the old washing machine nook in the kitchen; a stackable W/D unit was installed in one of the three bedrooms, repurposing it as an office and laundry space. The real showstopper? A brand-new 190 SF screened-in porch, built with exposed rafters and a gorgeous tongue-and-groove ceiling. Fully wired, this outdoor room expands the living space for most of the year and brings a taste of the mountains into the heart of town. The sellers also invested in the often-overlooked places that really matter, including a catch basin and swale to divert water from the foundation, and a new full vapor barrier and dehumidifier in the crawlspace. Outside, a lovely yard filled with established perennials and a garden shed for all your tools and toys — plenty of room to putter, plant, and enjoy. This home has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully improved, and the .28-acre lot offers room to dream. Move in and enjoy it as-is, or use the extra land to expand for years to come. Homes like this — in this location, at this price — are in short supply and simply don't come along often.
