Thistle Dhu is a celebrated Pinehurst landmark where American golf history and refined living converge. Built in 1919 by James Barber, this storied estate was home to the first 18-hole miniature golf course in the United States, with original holes still visible today, including one on the front lawn near the driveway. The name ''Thistle Dhu'' is a playful nod to Barber's admiring words upon completion: ''This'll do.'' Located in Olde Town Pinehurst, the property is just a short golf cart ride to Pinehurst Village, offering boutique shopping, dining, live entertainment, and the renowned Pinehurst Hotel & Spa. Thistle Dhu offers exceptional versatility as a primary residence, vacation home, or income-producing property. The estate may be utilized as a high-end or short-term rental. The estate is ideal for hosting corporate retreats, family gatherings, and major golf events. Timeless and irreplaceable, Thistle Dhu remains one of Pinehurst's most iconic estates, where history lives on with modern luxury woven seamlessly throughout. The residence was extensively updated to modern standards while carefully preserving its original architectural character. The residence now features seven luxurious suites, including expansive owner's suites on both the main and upper levels with private living areas. The main level offers a gourmet kitchen with island and butler's pantry, breakfast nook, formal and casual dining spaces, a grand foyer, and elegant living and Carolina rooms that open to enclosed porches. Restored heart pine floors, original moldings, Palladian doors, and hand-carved staircases honor the home's historic character throughout. The lower level is designed for entertaining, featuring a recreation room with fireplace, a hidden speakeasy bar, movie theater, and ample storage. Outdoors, the 1.19 acre grounds include brick walkways, historic fountain, charming gazebo and gated entryways, creating a private garden retreat. |
