One of the most iconic houses in Chatham County, the Creek House was built by a local architect in 1973 and boasts over 2000 square feet on two floors, with seven distinctive rooms, central fireplaces on both levels and a glass-walled great room overlooking Terrell's Creek, which surrounds 3 sides of the house. 3.74 acres of creek and mature woodlands just 10 miles from Chapel Hill, the end of a small community road, a lovely setting adjoining an 18c stone-ground mill which is still functional. The mill was described by Grimsley T. Hobbs in his 1985 book, Exploring the Old Mills of North Carolina: Baldwin's Mill—Pittsboro: "One of Chatham County's oldest buildings, the mill was constructed in 1790. Originally, it contained multiple enterprises: dry goods store, blacksmith shop, saw mill, and a cotton gin. It was restored in 1941." In early July of 2025, historic storm-of-the-century Chantal deposited over 10 inches of rain into the Terrell's Creek watershed and inundated a portion of the house, but the owners flood insurance quickly responded and renovated the house to its best state. Come out and look over this significant property. It could be yours.
