About this home
Nestled on 29.1 private acres in Concord, 8680 Hills Dell Drive presents a rare opportunity to own a secluded estate where the land is every bit as remarkable as the home itself. Rolling terrain, mature hardwoods, and expansive views create an atmosphere that feels worlds away, while Uptown Charlotte is less than 30 minutes away. Located in the heart of North Carolina's historic Gold Rush region, this property offers a unique connection to one of America's earliest mining legacies and invites its next owner to continue the story. Whether you envision a private equestrian estate, a multi-generational family compound, a hobby farm, a peaceful retreat with room to grow, or a subdivision with multiple estate lots, this property provides an exceptional foundation for your vision. The land currently benefits from forestry tax status, offering potential long-term tax savings while preserving its natural beauty. With no HOA and abundant privacy, you'll enjoy the freedom and space that are increasingly difficult to find this close to Charlotte. A grand, long private driveway sets the tone from the moment you arrive, creating a sense of privacy, prestige, and anticipation before the home even comes into view. Timeless craftsmanship defines every room, with rich hardwood floors, extensive custom millwork, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, elegant formal spaces, a handsome executive office, and a flowing open-concept kitchen and family room-all designed to embrace the surrounding natural beauty. Whether enjoyed as your primary residence, a weekend escape, or the centerpiece of your private estate, the home is both comfortable and functional. Additional improvements include a swimming pool (added in 2006) with a hot tub, a greenhouse, and a lily pond on the front, providing valuable infrastructure from day one. Every window frames serene, wooded views, creating a sense of tranquility throughout the home. Imagine waking up to peaceful, wooded views, spending the afternoon riding horses, tending a garden, exploring your own trails, or relaxing by the pool—all while remaining within an easy commute to Charlotte. Large, contiguous acreage this close to the city is becoming increasingly rare. Offered at $2.1 million, this property represents an exceptional opportunity to own a significant tract of land with a quality custom home already in place, offering the privacy, flexibility, and lifestyle that are nearly impossible to recreate today.
