Chapel Hill, NC · For Sale
4637 Array Drive, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
$2,250,000
At A Glance
One level, custom built in 2026, sited deliberately for solar gain, prevailing breeze, and a clear line of sight to the stocked pond. The grid is a backup here, not the source.
Walk The Site
The site greets you slowly. A gravel approach, a stone-lined dry creek for the rain, the entry pavers, and only then the glass front door. Then the long shed line of the roof and the solar field above. Book a walk-through to see how it lives inside.
“Net-zero by design. A stocked pond, a solar roof, 1.52 acres of pines.”
The Residence
This is a one-level custom modernist home, completed in 2026, on a private 1.52-acre wooded lot at the western edge of Chapel Hill. The brief was uncomplicated: build a house that uses no net energy, makes no noise, and reads the site rather than fighting it.
The roof carries an active solar array sized for the household. The envelope uses superior insulation across the walls, the ceiling, and the slab. The result is a thermally quiet house that holds its temperature for hours without the mechanical system cycling. The grid is a backup here, not the source.
The pond, stocked and dock-equipped, sits a short walk from the back of the house. The pines wrap three sides of the clearing. From the great room you read the water through the trees. From the primary suite you wake to the southern light, filtered. There is no other roofline in the frame.
The Land
A clearing surrounded by mature pine forest, holding a stocked pond with docks. The site does most of the work the house benefits from.
The Build
Active solar, superior insulation, and a thermally tight envelope. The annual energy bill is the math, not the slogan.
The Plan
No stairs, no wasted hall. Three bedrooms with their own bath, a single great room that reads the water.
The Details
Roof-mounted PV sized to the household. The house produces and consumes its own power across the year.
A private pond on the lot, with docks already in. A short walk from the back door through the clearing.
Walls, ceiling, and slab specified well above code. The house holds its temperature with the equipment idle.
No stairs anywhere. A single ground-floor plan that keeps living, sleeping, and the great room within easy reach.
A 1.52-acre wooded clearing, with mature North Carolina pines on three sides. No other roofline in view.

The Neighborhood
The western edge of Chapel Hill keeps its wooded character. Forested lots, low-density roads, and the protected creeks that feed the Haw. The Carolina campus and the Friday Center are a short drive east, and RDU sits roughly thirty minutes the other way.
The address is in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district. The county is Chatham. The address feels rural, but every weekday convenience is inside twenty minutes.
Roughly 15 minutes to UNC, 30 minutes to RDU
