About this home

RARE 2-ACRE BUILDABLE LOT IN MATTHEWS! A unique opportunity to build on a spacious, private homesite just minutes from Downtown Matthews, Mint Hill, and Charlotte. Unlike many infill lots, this parcel offers generous usable, flat land with flexibility for a variety of home sizes, footprints, and positioning, allowing you to thoughtfully design around privacy, yard space, and outdoor living. The property can accommodate monolithic slab construction, offering flexibility and potential cost advantages for new construction. City water and sewer are available at the street, making this an especially attractive opportunity for a custom home, spec build, or long-term investment. Two acres provides the space and privacy increasingly difficult to find in Matthews while still offering convenient access to shopping, dining, schools, and major roadways. Mature surroundings and a generous building envelope provide the opportunity to create a home that feels private and spacious without sacrificing proximity to town. No HOA. A rare chance to create something special in Matthews. Also available as a package with the beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home on the adjoining 1.76-acre parcel—creating a combined 3.76-acre opportunity.
