It was a scene worthy of elegance and cinematic dreams: the refined glamour of the Kentucky Derby meets the romance of a European lakeside estate. At the heart of it all—Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, couture hats, and mint juleps—stood one of North Carolina’s most exceptional homes: 102 Anna Lake Lane in Cary.

 

This private estate provided the perfect setting for a spectacular Derby celebration, hosted by The Yascone Group listing agents, Joy Yascone and Faith Hope Yascone of  Berkshire Hathaway York Simpson Underwood. The Yascone Group in partnership with Rolls-Royce of Raleigh, created this unique and magical event. The event was elevated by exquisite floral artistry from Bowerbird Flowers & Apothecary and a top-shelf bar curated by the award-winning Weldon Mills Distillery—proudly rated the number one distillery in North Carolina, and Unique Homes Magazine as media partner.

Yet the true star of the evening was the home itself. With sweeping lakefront views and a rare, grandfathered-in position just steps from the water’s edge, 102 Anna Lake Lane is a masterpiece of engineering and timeless design. No other home in the Triangle can be built this close to a private lake, securing its place as a true legacy property.

Spanning nearly 10,000 square feet and resting on just under eight acres of tranquil, waterfront land, the estate offers serenity and sophistication—just a short stroll from premier shopping and dining.

 

 

Now offered at $8.6 million, 102 Anna Lake Lane is the highest-priced residential listing in the Triangle, a bold testament to its rarity, scale, and architectural significance. The ultimate unique one-of-a-kind property of distinction.
