Property Description

Rustically handsome and rich with character, 205 Anolis offers approximately 2,700 square feet of living space set on 12 remarkable acres in the Redbud community. Tucked at the end of a gravel road, the property unfolds into a beautiful mix of hardwood and pine forest, rolling pasture, and an intermittent stream that feeds into Temple Creek, a tributary of the Haw River. A vernal pool in the lower pasture has even served as a field study site for naturalists from the NC Museum of Natural History, where spring peepers and chorus frogs can be observed in their native habitat. The home itself is a thoughtful blend of craftsmanship and history. The original section, built in 1993, incorporates hand-adzed logs repurposed from three historic barns in Hillsborough, complemented by custom-cut timbers. A 2005 addition seamlessly integrates with the original structure and features flooring, trim, and built-in cabinetry milled on site from solid white and red oak harvested directly from the land. A striking masonry fireplace, built by well known and adored local artisan Joe Kenlan, serves as both a focal point and a highly functional heat source, capable of warming the entire home using wood from the property. Equestrian and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the well-planned features, including a horse barn, detached garage, and fenced pasture with Cameo high-tensile horse safety fencing. The riding ring is thoughtfully constructed with a crushed stone base and gravel surface for excellent drainage and year-round usability. The lower portion of the land, known as ''The Nursery,'' was once part of Mellow Marsh Farm, and still retains its terraces and pathways. The property has been maintained without herbicides or pesticides, preserving a healthy and natural environment. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of songbirds, raptors--including Cooper's Hawks and Barred Owls--wild turkeys, deer, foxes, and more. Black vultures have even returned to nest in the barn, and Eastern Box Turtles and Green Anoles are common sights in warmer months. From Redbud, nearby trails connect to the Haw Slopes Natural Area and the Haw River, offering the rare opportunity to hike for miles--even all the way to Bynum--without crossing a road. Landowners' covenants are in place to preserve the peace, quiet, and natural beauty of the area. 205 Anolis is a truly special property--private, storied, and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape.
