View Available Listings in Devon

Nestled in northern Wake County off Leesville Road, Devon is an exclusive private community developed by Curtis Properties beginning in the late 1990s.

The heavily wooded rolling hills were purchased to construct a luxury enclave with scenic views. Only 150 home sites across 530 acres were platted.

The first homes built were primarily large brick Georgian, Colonial, and European-inspired designs on 1-3 acre lots tucked back into the pine and hardwood forests.

Home sizes range from 4,000 to over 8,000 square feet. An active homeowner's association maintains standards and gates the entrance.

Today, Devon contains a mix of completed luxury homes and vacant home sites available for custom builds.

The lush landscape and limited number of homes provide a private, secluded feel minutes from major Raleigh thoroughfares.

Notable Areas and Features

Some of Devon's most notable streets include:

Wynneford Way - Lined with elegant brick Georgian and Colonial homes ranging up to 8,000 square feet on heavily wooded lots. Recent listings have included a 5 bed, 7 bath home for $1.9 million.

Accessibility and Location

Despite its secluded ambiance, Devon provides relatively easy access to major Raleigh destinations. It sits just north of the I-540 beltline, allowing a quick 10-15 minute drive to downtown Raleigh's urban amenities. For commuting, Research Triangle Park can be reached in under 10 minutes by car. Raleigh-Durham International Airport is approximately a 20 minute drive away.
