The Graylyn Estate

$$

1900 Reynolda Rd, Winston-Salem, NC

Completed in 1932 as one of the largest private residential estates in North Carolina, this jaw-dropping Norman Revival stone manor operates with a deeply personalized, non-corporate soul. Sprawling across 55 acres just minutes from downtown, the independent 85-room luxury property features majestic ironwork, hand-carved paneling, and an enchanting, historic layout. Owned by Wake Forest University, 100% of the estate's proceeds directly fund student scholarships. Guests experience a rare, regal retreat complete with a pristine indoor pool and world-class, fresh, scratch-made culinary dining options.
