Property details

About 406 Johns Woods Rd

**** Property Now Under Contract **** Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, 406 John's Wood Road offers a rare chance to own a contemporary post and beam home on a private, wooded 2-acre parcel just minutes from downtown Carrboro. Backing to the protected 100-acre Hogan Farm Trust, the property provides a serene and secluded setting surrounded by nature, where Japanese maples and native plantings thrive and wildlife is a regular visitor. It's part of a small, highly coveted enclave of just six homes, where opportunities to buy are few and far between. Best of all, it enjoys the benefit of Orange County taxes while still being zoned for Chapel Hill schools. Originally constructed in 1983 using salvaged beams from a Durham tobacco warehouse, the home blends rustic character with thoughtful modern updates. Under single ownership since 1997, it has been carefully maintained and improved, including a new roof and gutters (2021), fresh exterior paint and cedar siding repairs, 10 new windows, a re-planked deck, and full interior repaint. The foundation has been professionally waterproofed with French drains and footer systems for added peace of mind. Inside, the warm post and beam architecture invites you in, with a spacious primary suite on the main level featuring a partially updated bath, new carpeting, and new exterior doors. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bath, and a large open loft offers flexibility as an office or lounge area. The kitchen, while functional, awaits your creative vision and all appliances convey, including a washer and dryer. Two outbuildings on the property reflect the artistic legacy of the former owner. One served as a glass workshop, fully wired and operational, while the other provided storage for inventory. There is room to expand, with the potential to add a garage, studio, or accessory dwelling unit. The home is powered by electricity with a backup generator fueled by propane, ensuring reliability. Though original covenants have expired, a shared road maintenance agreement is in place, and the road has been recently serviced. Offered as-is, this property is more than a home, it's a retreat. A quiet haven that feels far from it all, yet remains conveniently close to Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Durham, and RTP.
