John Replogle, the former CEO of Durham-based Burt’s Bees and founder of One Better Ventures, and his wife have listed their 8,000-square-foot home in Raleigh’s Drewry Hills subdivision.
Built in 2006 and renovated in 2014, it’s on a .45-acre lot at 445 Drummond Drive, and offers six en-suite bedrooms, a lounge and gaming area, in-home gym, and “chef’s kitchen” with 500-bottle tasting room.
Outside, landscaping includes mature trees, pool, sauna and an original sculpture by Raleigh-based artist Thomas Sayre.
The price tag: $4.75 million — excluding the sculpture. (It’s available for sale separately, along with other art and furnishings, according to the listing.)
“There’s everything one could ask for in a home,” teased Melanie Jones, a Realtor with Hodge & Kittrell Sotheby’s International.
Triangle Business Journal first reported the listing.
Replogle is well-known on the Triangle startup scene. From 2006 to 2011, he served as chief executive of Burt’s Bee’s, a natural personal-care brand founded in Maine and headquartered in Durham.
In 2011, he founded Seventh Generation, a brand of eco-friendly house products. In 2016, it was acquired by Unilever for an estimated $700 million.
The next year, Replogle served as a founding partner of One Better Ventures, a Raleigh-based venture capital firm that supports consumer-product startups across the Triangle.
In its first two years, it made six investments worth $50 million, ranging from infusions of capital at Durham-based Disruptive Enterprises, a company making food products for the ketogenic diet, to Raleigh’s Slingshot Coffee, which makes premium cold brew coffee drinks, The News & Observer previously reported.
According to Replogle’s LinkedIn account, he is now living in Hanover, New Hampshire, where he graduated from Dartmouth College.
TBJ reported three of his four daughters also went to the school, and one is currently in graduate school there.
