A North Carolina Megamansion With a Safe Room and Two Elevators Lists for $10 Million
A Raleigh, North Carolina, megamansion—replete with amenities, from a safe room to a wine-tasting room—is set to hit the market early next year for $10 million.
Sitting on nearly 2 acres overlooking the 18th green at North Ridge Country Club, the 16,856-square-foot home has a Texas cream limestone facade with a slate roof trimmed in copper, according to the listing with Martin Verdi and Elena Stoyanova of Engel & Volkers Raleigh.
“One of the home’s most distinct features is a wine cellar with an actual bank vault door,” Stoyanova said. “The home’s original owner, Dean Painter, sold his computer leasing company, CLG, to Centura Bank in 1996 and is said to have negotiated the vault door as part of the deal.”

The main living and entertainment area is more than 5,000 square feet, with a 1,000-square-foot foyer. Design details include nine fireplaces with gas logs, Brazilian cherry wood doors and cherry paneling throughout—including the two elevators—and hydronic heated limestone floors, the listing said.
The huge great room offers double-height vaulted ceilings framing views of the grounds, an imperial staircase and two fireplaces, listing photos show. There’s a family kitchen—complete with a dumbwaiter that leads to the heated four-car garage, according to the listing—as well as a fully equipped catering kitchen, along with cooking and dining areas outside.
“This property is also ideal for hosting … It’s truly a gem in Raleigh,” Stoyanova said.
There are eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms and six half bathrooms, the listing said. The primary bedroom suite has a cedar closet and a private balcony spa.
Other amenities include a wine cellar with a tasting room, a sauna, a workout room and a safe room, the listing said. There are also two laundry rooms and a “floor plan conducive to live-in staff.”
Outside, there are 2,900 square feet of covered porches and verandas with views of the saltwater pool and spa, two outdoor bars, a fire pit and plenty of outdoor areas for lounging, the listing said.
Mansion Global could not determine when the property last traded or when, although it was last listed in 2015 for $7.8 million, according to records.
The home is owned by Tatyana Teyf, who has a checkered past. In 2018, the FBI raided the home, and her husband, Leonid Teyf, eventually pleaded guilty to money laundering and a series of related offenses. They could not be reached for comment.
The USC Trojans are in pursuit of flipping two class of 2025 recruits, Nela Tupou and Alex Payne. Can the Trojans flip one or both of these players before national signing day?
Nela Tupou Player Profile
Nela Tupou is a 6-4, 220 pound tight end/defensive end out of Folsom, California. He is rated as a three-star recruit and ranked as the 43rd-best ATH in the class of 2025 per 247Sports.
Tupou committed to the Utah Utes in February of 2024, but he just recently visited USC last weekend for the Trojans’ 28-20 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
On3 is now predicting that Tupou will likely flip this commitment from Utah to USC.
Alex Payne Player Profile
Alex Payne is a 6-5, 265 pound offensive tackle out of Gainesville, Florida. He is rated as four-star recruit and ranked as the 16th-best offensive tackle in the class of 2025.
Payne committed to the North Carolina Tar Heels in January of 2024, but he as well as Tupou, visited USC last weekend.
In 247Sports recruiting analyst Tom Loy’s updated crystal ball prediction, he had Payne flipping his commitment from North Carolina to USC. Loy has a good track record of predicting where recruits will end up as his all-time hit rate for predicting recruits’ final destinations is 81.64 percent.
USC Bolstering Up Offensive Line to Go Along With Weapons
One of the glaring holes for the USC Trojans this season has been the offensive line. For USC to bounce back next season, they will have to get much better in the trenches. This has been exposed in their first season in the Big Ten. Landing Tupou, who can both be a factor in the run blocking scheme as a blocker, and Payne, one of the top tackle prospects in the country, would go a long way for next season and the future of the program.
Barring a flurry of transfer portal decisions, the Trojans will have an abundance of skill position talent coming back next season.
Freshman running back Quinten Joyner has been the second best back this season behind senior running back Woody marks.
Four of the Trojans five leading receivers are sophomores. Makai Lemon, Zachariah Branch, Ja’Kobi Lane, and Duce Robinson all have shown flashes of potentially being a number one wide receiver next season.
Add in the Trojans starting sophomore quarterback Jayden Maiava and they have one of the youngest teams in the Big Ten. If USC continues to address the offensive line in the last days of the 2025 recruiting cycle and in the transfer portal this offseason, the Trojans could be a dangerous team next season.
