About 70 Holland Lane
Tucked away on 5.11 acres of actual peace and quiet (not the marketing kind), this one-of-a-kind property delivers space, flexibility, and a fully stocked pond that tends to steal the show. The original cabin--dating back to 1908, back when things were built to last--sits just a few feet from the water. It's been expanded over time and now features a large deck overlooking the pond, which is ideal for morning coffee, evening unwinding, or pretending you're going to start writing that novel. Wildlife is not hypothetical here--you'll regularly see geese, wood ducks, turtles, and the occasional eagle reminding you who really owns the place. The second dwelling started life as a three-car garage and has since had a complete career change. It's now fully finished living space with two full bathrooms upstairs and a full kitchen downstairs. Over the years, it's been a recording studio, art studio, classroom for cooking and craft workshops, and a short-term rental. In other words, it's ready for whatever idea you've been thinking about--or haven't thought of yet. The land itself offers plenty of room to spread out. The pond is approximately 10 feet deep, well stocked, and includes canoe access. There's open space for outdoor activities, gatherings, or just doing absolutely nothing--which, out here, feels surprisingly productive. If you ever decide to leave, Jordan Lake is just minutes away with boat ramps, beaches, and trails. Boating, fishing, hiking, camping, and the occasional 'we should do this more often' day are all right down the street. Despite feeling tucked away, you're not off the grid. Easy access to US-1 and Highway 64 puts you within a convenient drive to Pittsboro, Holly Springs, Apex, and Cary, along with Research Triangle Park and Raleigh-Durham International Airport--so you can stay connected to the real world when necessary. With multiple outbuildings for storage and plenty of space for future expansion (including the option to build another home), the possibilities here are wide open. Live in one building, rent the other, create a retreat, or finally launch that Airbnb idea you've been talking about. It's not just a property--it's a lifestyle. One that just happens to include a pond, some wildlife, and a little more breathing room than you're probably used to.
