Grand Georgian Estate — 8.13 Acres, Pool, Theatre & 6-Car Garage
Delivering an uncommon combination of scale, privacy and creature comforts, 6309 Wakefalls Drive sits on more than 8 acres of rolling, wooded land with private creeks and a gated circular driveway. Enter across limestone steps to a gracious foyer and formal dining room, then discover the heart of the house: a vaulted family room with a gas granite fireplace and views into an elevated covered patio with an outdoor fireplace — the ideal flow for large gatherings.
The classic, chef-ready kitchen is fitted with cherry-wood beams and custom cabinetry, a center granite island, a 6-burner gas range, two wall ovens with a warming drawer, two dishwashers and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. An oversized butler’s pantry/wet bar with additional freezer, ice maker and wine fridge supports entertaining at scale. The main-level primary suite offers private patio access, a double-sided wood-burning fireplace leading to a spa-style bath with steam shower, jetted soaking tub, dual vanities and a custom walk-in closet — plus its own private laundry room and Juliet balcony.
Upstairs includes a loft overlooking the family room, a dedicated theatre with wet bar and full bath, plus two ensuite bedrooms with private baths and a second-floor patio. The fully finished walk-out basement expands living and entertaining possibilities with a large recreation area, stone fireplace, wet bar, gym, library/flex room, laundry with sink and two additional bedrooms that walk out to the pool and patio. Outside, an expansive fenced terrace surrounds a deep swimming pool, hot spa and built-in BBQ — private resort living just minutes from Wake Forest amenities.
Mechanical and lifestyle features are robust: zoned HVAC, multiple ceiling fans, central vacuum, surround sound, full-house generator and extensive built-in storage. The property offers substantial parking and a combined 6-car garage configuration plus a gated drive and parking pad. Wakefield Plantation amenities are available to homeowners; nearby Wake Forest and Raleigh are convenient for shopping, dining and employment. This estate is ideal for buyers seeking rare acreage, privacy and turnkey entertaining spaces. Schedule a showing through listing agents 777 Team Verdi / Compass Raleigh.

A factual market snapshot around 6309 Wakefalls Dr.
The Wake Forest market sits within the broader Raleigh-Cary MSA where demand remains steady, especially for unique properties with acreage and high-end finishes. Entry-level suburban product sells quickly; the luxury/estate segment is more selective but benefits from constrained supply. Median single-family prices in the area are substantially lower than this listing because of scale — this is a niche, high-end offering. Expect buyer traffic from affluent local executives, relocating families, and clients seeking privacy near Wakefield Plantation amenities. Pricing at $3.5M positions this home competitively for buyers who want acreage plus turnkey luxury; allow for a measured marketing period while emphasizing the property’s one-of-a-kind lot and finished lower level.
