For more than two centuries, people have found their way down this road. Since about 1790, this land just outside Chapel Hill has been a place to gather, to stay, and to celebrate. The Inn at Bingham School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated an Orange County Landmark, and it is now ready for its next chapter. The 5-bedroom, 6-bath main residence carries its history with ease. It has seven fireplaces, brick and hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, a sunroom, and a cozy living room, so it feels as natural for a quiet Sunday as for a house full of guests. A separate guest house adds a sixth bedroom for extended family, an innkeeper, or visitors who deserve their own front door. Beyond the house, 11.5 acres unfold into open lawns, pétanque courts, and a historic barn and silo, with ample gravel parking already in place. The property has operated as a bed and breakfast and has hosted weddings, elopements, corporate retreats, and private celebrations under a Special Use Permit that transfers with the sale. A new owner can keep the doors open as a boutique inn and event venue, reimagine the barn and silo as a farm-to-table restaurant or destination dining space, or simply call it home. Few places in North Carolina offer this combination of provenance, privacy, and possibility. The estate is minutes from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the Saxapahaw food and music scene, with easy I-40/85 access to Durham, Raleigh, and Greensboro. It is a historic home with acreage, a turnkey bed and breakfast, and a wedding and event venue near Chapel Hill, all on one extraordinary property.

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. With zero light pollution around, the widow's walk is the perfect place to star gaze during meteor showers. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort & convenience, the home features dual laundry rooms, a massive mudroom/drop-zone, workshop spaces in the three-car garage, a partial basement, & a walk-in attic for all the storage you could ever need. The 60' shed with workshop could easily be converted to a horse stable for any equestrian enthusiasts. There is no shortage of activities your acreage can offer, but when you do decide to leave, you'll be only 9 minutes from downtown Hillsborough, & an easy drive in either direction to Durham and Mebane. Land with hundreds of years of history, a home that was built to last just as long, & tax breaks to top it all off...it just doesn't get much better than this. **Please note that Zillow reflects an incorrect tax assessment value. The correct valuation is $1,970,495. The conservation easement tax credit then brings the actual taxed value down to $1,750,099.
