Thistle Dhu, built by James Barber in 1919, was home to the first 18 hole mini golf course in America. A few of these holes remain, one of which can be seen to the right of the driveway in the front lawn. The name Thistle Dhu is a riff off Mr. Barber's admiring comment to his wife of the property when construction of home and course was completed of ...... "This'll Do". In 2015, the current owners purchased Thistle Dhu and began a tremendous renovation of the home and grounds. The renovation was intricately planned to bring Thistle Dhu into the modern age while keeping the historic details intact. The original layout was improved upon and there are now 6 luxurious suites all with private baths. The upstairs master suite is expansive, offering 'his & her's' full baths and closet spaces. The upstairs hosts a private living space with kitchenette and a full laundry room.There is a master suite on the main level with a private living space and bath and a second laundry room. The main level boasts a gourmet kitchen with island & butler's kitchen, a breakfast nook, large pantry and additional appliance space. There is a casual eating space and a formal dining room. Across the Foyer is a Great room with fireplace & Carolina Room and that offers several seating areas and entertaining spaces with access to front and rear enclosed porches. Downstairs, you will find a recreation room with fireplace, perfect for ping pong, pool and a variety of other fun activities. There is also your own private 'Speakeasy' bar, home theater room, gym, sauna and ample storage. No expense has been spared, which is evident in designer details such as the light fixtures, wall coverings, and finishings throughout the home. The 1+ acre estate is meticulously manicured and offers exceptional views from every room in the home. There are multiple seating areas, with outdoor fire pits, fountains, brick patios and walkways through the garden, a gazebo and an outdoor hot tub. Fully fenced, with gated entryways, this estate is truly one of kind. Thistle Dhu is the perfect primary or vacation home for a golf enthusiast, as it's in Olde Town Pinehurst, just around the corner from the Pinehurst Hotel & Spa, Country Club and historic village. Thistle Dhu offers a unique opportunity as an income producing property for corporate retreats, family retreats, and would make a profitable rental for the 2024 US Open golf tournament. The current owners have had much success renting the estate to corporate groups & tourists at approximately $1400 per night. The estate is available to be purchased fully furnished, at a price to be determined. A full features list and additional photos available upon request.
