About this home

A rare opportunity to own a private gated estate on 12.77 acres in Wildwood Estates, just minutes from downtown Waxhaw. Designed for those who value space, privacy, craftsmanship, and an extraordinary indoor-outdoor lifestyle, this exceptional property offers more than 4,300 SF of beautifully appointed living space with a distinctive one-story-plus-loft design and separate living quarters above the oversized 3-car garage. Built in 2020, the home beautifully blends timeless craftsmanship with sophisticated finishes. The post-and-beam showcases Eastern White Pine, exposed beams, dramatic ceilings, and an exceptional owner's suite featuring a luxurious walk-in shower, leathered serpentine stone, copper soaking tub, and custom details. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is designed to impress with a Viking 6-burner gas range, quartzite countertops, farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, and an abundance of natural light. The great room invites you to slow down and stay awhile, with a wood-burning stove, custom built-ins, and expansive tri-fold doors opening to a covered tongue-and-groove porch stretching the length of the home. Beyond the porch, the estate unfolds into a private retreat with a 12' x 40' in-ground pool, creek, river house, garden shed, and multiple outbuildings offering endless possibilities for storage, hobbies, equipment, workshops, or recreational pursuits. The oversized garage provides both a 2-car front-load and separate side-load bay, while the finished living quarters above offer flexibility for guests, extended family, or private accommodations. With RA-40 zoning and nearly 13 acres of land, this is more than a home it is a lifestyle rarely found so close to Waxhaw's vibrant downtown. A private sanctuary where exceptional craftsmanship, natural beauty, and space come together to create something truly special.
