You cannot see it from the road. That is the first thing to understand about this one.
A log home — wood inside and out — sits a thousand feet back behind a single gate, at the end of a gravel drive that runs the whole way under hardwood canopy. A post-and-rail fence follows you in. Nothing else on this land touches pavement. Then it opens.
8.84 deeded acres, held as one assemblage across four recorded parcels in two counties, where Mint Hill meets the Union County line. Fenced pasture. Open lawn under mature hardwoods. Mown ground running back from the house to a fire pit, and woodland beyond it to the horizon. A stable with stalls, a barn, and outbuildings — the structures are standing, the fencing is in, and the pasture is already cleared and enclosed. Shelter for animals and equipment is already here. You are not starting from an empty field.
The county line runs through the property, which is why it exists in this form at all. Four parcels, recorded and taxed separately in Mecklenburg and in Union, assembled and held together by one owner. Land like this takes decades to put together and an afternoon to break apart. It is being sold the way it was assembled — as one piece.
This much land changes what a day looks like. Horses in the pasture the fencing was already built for. Equipment out of the weather. A garden that is not a raised bed. Distance between you and the next set of headlights — and quiet that is not a marketing word here, it is a thousand feet of gravel between the house and the road, which is something no amount of landscaping buys on a smaller lot.
The canopy does different work in every season. Full and closed over the drive through the summer, open in winter so you can read the shape of the ground underneath it. Late in the day the light comes in low across the pasture and the whole place turns gold.
Inside, the house keeps the promise the drive makes. Log walls and hardwood floors in a great room that opens two stories to a loft above. Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. French doors from the dining room to a stone-faced deck. A kitchen with a window over the sink that looks at trees. Three bedrooms — two of them upstairs, taking dormer light — two baths, one renovated with a tiled surround, and a dedicated laundry. 1,554 square feet, built in 1983, owner-occupied since 2010 and lived in the whole time.
Then the porch. Covered, running the full length of the house, facing nothing but trees. Sit on it once and square footage stops being the conversation.
The house is not new and does not pretend to be. It is a log home of its era, maintained and used. You are welcome to live there while you build your dream home. What cannot be reproduced here is the land.
Private well. Septic with pump. All-electric heat pump and furnace.
Charlotte mailing address, Mint Hill, on the Union County line — three miles from I-485 at Lawyers Road. Charlotte grew out to meet this land and it stayed whole. Contiguous acreage this close to the loop is not being made anymore, and what is left of it is being divided, not assembled.
Every parcel here is a matter of public record in both counties, and the corners are marked on the ground. Bring a surveyor. Bring someone who knows land. Bring the questions you would ask about the well, the septic, the access and the acreage, and ask them here — nothing about this property needs to be taken on faith.
Offered together. Never divided. Come walk it before you decide what it is worth to you.
