New Hill, North Carolina · 15 Private Acres on the Haw River
Follow the lantern-lit path through the gate and leave everything behind. A private 15-acre river estate awaits — built for gathering, celebrating, and escaping into something extraordinary.
The Estate
Nestled on 15 private acres along the Haw River, this 3,400 sq ft estate delivers rare seclusion without sacrificing convenience. A grand two-story foyer welcomes you into an open-concept layout featuring hardwood floors throughout, 10-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace, chef's kitchen, and three distinct living areas.
Perfect for wedding weekends, milestone family gatherings, university visits, golf retreats, and multi-generational escapes — all just 30 minutes from Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill.
Outdoor Living
The wraparound front porch with rocking chairs and a swing invites slow mornings with coffee. The pergola deck — strung with café lights, furnished with a full dining set and deep lounge sofas — is made for long evenings together.
The flagstone fire pit patio, ringed by Adirondack chairs and perennial gardens, is where the night ends under the stars. And down at the river's edge, a second fire pit overlooks the Haw at golden hour.
The Haw River
Follow the lantern-lit trail through the estate gate and arrive at your own private floating dock on the Haw River. Fish at sunrise, canoe in the afternoon, or gather around the riverside fire pit to watch the sun go down over the water.
This level of private river access is extraordinarily rare this close to Raleigh — it's what makes The River House truly unlike anything else.
Inside the Estate

Bathrooms
The Bunk Room
The upstairs bunk room sleeps six with two bunk sets plus a trundle, and opens into a spacious lounge with a large sectional sofa and Smart TV — the perfect hideout for younger guests.
Private Office

Wedding Guests
The River House sits just 0.2 miles — two driveways down — from The Bradford, one of North Carolina's most celebrated wedding venues. It's the perfect home base for the wedding party, immediate family, and VIP guests who want to stay close in style rather than a hotel.

"This place is absolutely stunning. The property is even more beautiful in person — the river trail, the fire pit, the pergola at night. We couldn't believe the privacy and space. Already planning to come back."
"We hosted a family reunion here and it was perfect. The kitchen is a chef's dream and the fire pit kept us up laughing all night. Anna Beth was an incredible host — responsive, thoughtful, and so welcoming."
"Booked for a wedding weekend near The Bradford and it couldn't have been more perfect. The whole group agreed it was the highlight of the trip. If you're getting married at The Bradford — book this house."
