195 Canter Lane

A truly one-of-a-kind offering in Pinehurst, this remarkable residence is a thoughtful replication of Thomas Jefferson's 19th-century Poplar Forest retreat in Lynchburg, Virginia. Designed and constructed with meticulous attention to historic detail, the home preserves many of the original architectural elements, including the distinctive roofline, porte cochère, and solid brick construction, while seamlessly incorporating the comforts and conveniences of modern living. At the heart of the home is an extraordinary grand hall featuring soaring 20-foot ceilings and a dramatic 16-foot skylight that fills the space with natural light and creates an unforgettable first impression. Beautiful oak flooring extends throughout the main living areas and remains in excellent condition, adding warmth and timeless character. The quality of construction is exceptional, featuring a true solid-brick exterior--not brick veneer--and a poured concrete foundation. The expansive lower level offers 10-foot ceilings in both the finished and unfinished areas, providing endless possibilities for a recreation room, home theater, fitness center, workshop, or even a golf simulator. Situated on approximately 0.68 acres, this unique property offers both privacy and convenience, just a golf cart ride to Pinehurst Country Club and the historic Village of Pinehurst, shopping, dining, and local amenities. An oversized two-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, and a golf cart. Recent improvements provide peace of mind and modern efficiency, including a Generac whole-house generator (2023), propane-fired forced-air furnace (2024), propane water heater with recirculation system (2025), garage door (2025), LG WashTower (2026), microwave (2025), and refrigerator (2020). Combining historic architectural inspiration with superior craftsmanship and today's modern conveniences, this exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Pinehurst unlike any other.
