The Wiley and Elizabeth Forbus House is gracefully sited on 1.3 acres along the 7th fairway of the Donald Ross-designed Hope Valley Country Club Golf Course. This landmark residence is a defining example of classic Norman Provincial Revival architecture. Cherished as one of Hope Valley's most iconic homes, its legacy has been lovingly preserved by only four distinguished owners. From the original 1930s roof to the inviting arched wooden front door, every detail radiates timeless character and refined charm. Spacious formal and informal gathering areas offer the perfect backdrop for entertaining or unwinding in peaceful solitude. The newly added luxurious heated pool, surrounded by a custom-designed iron fence adorned with exquisite wrought iron leaves, creates a private oasis for both relaxation and recreation. French doors open to multiple patios, a covered outdoor fireplace, lush gardens, and al fresco dining spaces that invite year-round enjoyment. A tranquil porch off the primary suite offers sweeping golf course views—an idyllic setting for your morning coffee. The state-of-the-art chef's kitchen features a six-burner Wolf gas range, Subzero refrigerator, wine cooler, exceptional cabinetry, and a generous island ideal for both culinary pursuits and casual gatherings. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with historic elegance, including a Tesla charger, two tankless water heaters, dual primary closets, and a spa-inspired bath. While privately nestled within its lush estate setting, this remarkable home also offers unparalleled convenience in the heart of Hope Valley—combining the serenity of country estate living with exceptional urban accessibility. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a celebrated piece of North Carolina's architectural history.
