1021 Parchemin Trail

Spectacular Chapel Hill horse farm and equestrian estate on 10 private acres, featuring a five-stall barn, a 1,131-square-foot apartment ideal for a caretaker or trainer, and a dedicated riding arena. Welcome to 1021 Parchemin Trail, where rolling fenced pastures, mature hardwoods, and a private pond create a beautiful country setting just 10 minutes from downtown Chapel Hill and UNC.

Designed by renowned architect Stephen Clipp, this custom English Country Manor combines timeless European-inspired architecture with inviting living spaces and modern comforts. Soaring 12-foot ceilings, solid wood doors, wide-plank pine floors, and expansive windows bring warmth, character, and natural light throughout. The chef's kitchen features custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, new double ovens, and a gas cooktop. Multiple stacked-stone fireplaces create welcoming gathering spaces, while the spacious primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with a soaking tub, polished wood counters, and a distinctive antique mantel salvaged from a pre-Civil War home.

The equestrian facilities are exceptional. Designed by Linda Dreher and built in 2000, the substantial five-stall barn features concrete-filled cinderblock construction with a stucco finish, five oversized 12' x 12' custom stalls, a wash stall with hot and cold water and heat lamps, fans in every stall, and convenient direct access to the pastures. The 120' x 220' riding ring is ideal for dressage or jumping. Additional amenities include a heated and cooled two-story tack room with washer and dryer for saddle pads and blankets, an oversized hayloft with abundant storage, and a thoughtfully designed layout for equestrian convenience.

Above the barn, a spacious 1,131-square-foot apartment provides excellent flexibility for a caretaker, trainer, extended family, or guests.

A rare opportunity to enjoy the best of equestrian living and refined country living in one remarkable property. With 10 acres of privacy, exceptional horse facilities, an architect-designed manor, and convenient access to Chapel Hill and UNC, this distinctive estate offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find in the Triangle. Located in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district.
