Hidden behind a stone-columned gated entrance in the prestigious Farms at Heartwood, this exceptional custom-built equestrian estate offers a rare combination of timeless architecture, luxury finishes and thoughtfully designed horse facilities on 11.6 private acres in the heart of Waxhaw.
Designed by renowned architect Jim Phelps and built by Arcadia Builders, the European-inspired residence spans more than 4,400 heated square feet across three levels, all connected by elevator access. From the moment you step into the herringbone stone foyer beneath the tongue-and-groove ceiling, the quality of craftsmanship is unmistakable. Hickory hardwood floors, extensive custom millwork, solid wood doors, granite countertops, custom cabinetry and designer finishes create a home that is both elegant and comfortable.
The dramatic great room serves as the centerpiece of the home, showcasing soaring cathedral ceilings with suspended timber trusses, a stunning 22-foot floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, custom built-ins and walls of windows overlooking the surrounding pastures. The adjoining kitchen was designed for everyday living and entertaining alike, featuring custom cherry cabinetry, Viking gas cooktop with griddle, double KitchenAid convection ovens, built-in refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, oversized island and generous pantry storage. French doors open to the screened porch and covered deck, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The main-level primary suite is privately positioned and offers peaceful pasture views, French doors to the screened porch, an oversized custom walk-in closet and a luxurious bath with heated tile floors, frameless shower, rain head, stained glass window and custom dual vanity. The lower level provides two spacious ensuite guest bedrooms with private outdoor access, a tiled mudroom with dog shower, abundant storage and an oversized garage. Upstairs, a large bonus room, billiard/media area, exercise room and walk-in attic provide exceptional flexibility for family and guests.
Outside, the property has been extensively enhanced to create an exceptional equestrian environment. Board-fenced pastures, a professionally constructed 66′ x 166′ arena with compressed clay base, washed sand footing and retaining wall, a custom center-aisle barn, newly constructed three-stall shed row barn, round pen, riding trails and access to community trails provide outstanding facilities for both recreational and serious horse owners. Extensive grading, drainage improvements and carefully planned paddocks reflect the significant investment made by the current owners.
The grounds are equally impressive, featuring mature hardwoods, a winding creek, professionally landscaped gardens, stone retaining walls, irrigated lawns, paver patios and a stone fire pit, creating beautiful outdoor spaces throughout every season.
Recent improvements include a newly paved driveway, refinished hardwood flooring, updated LVP flooring, refinished exterior doors, new main-level HVAC system, well control panel, wireless gate system and numerous equestrian improvements, allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy.
Located just minutes from the boutiques, restaurants and charm of downtown Waxhaw, with convenient access to Charlotte, this is far more than a luxury home. It is an exceptional country estate where timeless design, privacy and an equestrian lifestyle come together in one remarkable property.
