Imagine owning an home and 3 - 4.9 acres in Mecklenburg county with drastically reduced taxes. Being offered with 3 acres, also available with 4.9 acres at $1,650,000. Survey to be completed prior to closing and recorded at closing, see photo of map. This extraordinary Victorian-era farmhouse, known as the McElroy House (c. 1883), seamlessly combines historic charm with modern luxury on 5 acres of pristine land. Unlike the typical and conservative I-house architecture of the time, the McElroy House is an outstanding example of the T-shaped two-story farmhouses built after the Civil War. The restored home bridges the gap between period significance and modern, functional living and includes the creation of a designer gourmet kitchen ideal for entertaining, as well as updated bathrooms. The incremental renovations occurred while preserving character, the 4-bedroom home boasts original hardwoods, ornate woodwork, a stunning staircase, 8 fireplaces (1 functional with woodstove insert) and outdoor living spaces ideal for morning coffee or evening breezes while enjoying the farm and animal views. The grounds are shaded by mature oaks and like the home, have a mixture of historical and modern elements featuring curated landscaping designed and created by a Master Gardener, a saltwater in-ground pool, bocce ball and hobby farm amenities built to accommodate farm animals of your choice with fencing, pastures, and a traditional barn. Adjacent to the home is a garage wired to charge electric vehicles. A fieldstone chimney stands behind the home (perhaps the remains of a summer kitchen). Nearby a tack house (now used as a tool/pool shed) stands on granite slabs. In the background is an 8-stall traditional barn with 2nd floor hay loft and adjoining chicken coop, all complemented by a round pen and Ramm cross-fenced pastures, ideal for equestrian/farm animal use. Situated in the Lake Norman area, the property is near Latta Nature Preserve, offering easy access to 16 miles of equestrian, hiking, and biking trails. Enjoy peaceful country living just minutes from Birkdale Village, I-77/I-485, and a short drive to Charlotte and Douglas International Airport. For generations the McElroy Home has been occupied by the family and direct descendants. Only the third non-family owners, the current owner as well as the previous, were outstanding stewards of this historical gem. They understood that they were the “temporary keeper” balancing the preservation of the home's original character with the need for modern functionality for future generations. Currently searching for the next steward of the home and land, one that wants to embrace history and a time when we lived off the land, spent the majority of our time outdoors working the gardens, taking care of the livestock and putting food on the table. Considering a lifestyle reminiscent of times that have passed us by, and a more natural lifestyle yet appreciate access to modern amenities and cultural activities, McElroy House and farm may be the answer. Detailed Brochure Available. Tax value reflects current parcel.

Set on just under 25 acres in Lincolnton, this property brings together usable land, water access, and a setup that's hard to find all in one place. With open pastures, two stocked ponds, and roughly 631 feet of frontage along the South Fork Catawba River, it's built for someone who wants space, function, and something a little different from the typical. The setting opens up to long-range views across the property that are hard to replicate. The home was custom-built by the builder as their personal residence and is move-in ready with a layout that makes sense for everyday living. On the main level, you'll find the primary bedroom along with the kitchen, dining area, living room, and laundry room. The bedrooms are generously sized, and a second bedroom and full bathroom are also on the main floor, while the upper level, which is currently being finished, adds a third bedroom. Just off the living room, a screened-in back porch overlooks the property and gives you a place to take in the land and gorgeous evening sunsets. A rocking chair front porch adds another spot to sit and enjoy the setting. The basement gives you additional flexibility with a large family room, a full bathroom, and an unfinished workshop with its own garage door. The home also includes an oversized two-car garage for added storage and functionality. Beyond the home, approximately 17 acres are fully fenced and laid out in open pasture with the two stocked ponds positioned within the fields. The barn is already set up with six stalls, a tack room, a feed room, a wash pit, and additional storage upstairs. It also includes an office or sitting room with a half bath, along with two lean-tos on each side for additional covered storage space. A separate gravel road provides direct access to the barn, making it easy to come and go without running through the main homesite. The land, layout, and improvements all work together in a way that's hard to recreate. Closer to the house, the in-ground pool is set up to be used, with a covered patio, plenty of concrete deck space for furniture, and a fenced area finished with brick columns and iron fencing. It's a setup that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for entertainment. With its combination of acreage, water features, and functional improvements, this is one of those properties that stands out because of how much it offers in one location. And while it feels private and spread out, you're still just a short 5-minute drive from Downtown Lincolnton for everyday needs.
