322 dillard's mill road

Twin Trees. This truly unique property is an exceptional find in northeastern North Carolina. An hour and a half from Norfolk, Virginia, 2 1/2 hours from Raleigh, or an hour from the Outer Banks, Twin Trees sits on the banks of the historic 17th Century Dillard's Millpond, a 15 minute drive from Edenton, one of the prettiest small towns in the South, located on the Albemarle Sound. As you turn off the road down the private lane, say goodbye to the fields of corn and cotton and hello to your own private wilderness retreat. Watch for deer, rabbits, and turtles as you drive down the hollow and come up the other side with welcoming birds flying ahead of you. Continue along flanked by tulip poplars and black walnut trees on either side until you come to a bend in the lane and the house comes into view ahead, centered in the clearing. You have arrived! Park your car and stroll down the wide lawn to the dock. Take a glass of wine, or pick up a paddle and canoe or kayak for an hour to unwind. Fish a little or a lot! Maybe you want to go for a hike in the woods. You have 36 acres to wander in! Or maybe you need to get to the studio and check on your latest project. When you're done, head back up to the house. Sit anywhere on the grand, wraparound porch. Pull out a pair of binoculars and birdwatch, entertain or listen to the wind in the trees. Calm yourself. Relax into the evening. Maybe you'll read by the fire in the fall and winter or sit out under the stars, listening to the frogs singing to the fireflies in the summertime. The perfectly positioned beautiful log home is as happy entertaining 100 as it is just one. Look at the photos. Watch the video. Picture yourself at home in nature. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, hunting lodge, an artist's retreat or a year-round haven, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare chance to live in nature without giving up any of the comforts of home.
