3192 Farm View Lane , Iron Station, NC 28080(Lincoln County)

This 8 acre farm has just enough acreage and pasture to accommodate your horses, yet not too much for the Gentleman or Gentlewoman to easily maintain while enjoying retirement, children and/or career. An easy commute to Charlotte or the Lake Norman area means you wont spend all day commuting. The 2007 custom built Craftsman home offers many upgrades and extra architectural details creating a charming environment, both inside and out. The stone columns gracing the front porch, picture frame the view of the white vinyl fencing and your horses grazing in the pastures. The landscaped flower beds accent the Hardi-board and stone exterior. The heavy wood and glass double front doors greet your guests and invite them into the bright open floor plan. Crown molding, bead board wainscoting, hardwood floors and warm colors are perfect the way they are; with no need for change. Floor to ceiling windows, custom drapes, built-in book shelves and cabinets in the two story great room encourage relaxation and entertaining. Enjoy sharing meals with family and friends in the formal dining room or large breakfast dining area. The open floor plan allows the cook to socialize with everyone while preparing gourmet meals in the large kitchen. An abundance of Cherry cabinets and a walk-in pantry provide the storage all great chefs require while the granite counter tops, tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances provide the appropriate environment any cook would appreciate.

The windows in the master suite, located on the main floor take advantage of views of the back yard, barn and front pastures. The tray ceiling with rope lighting creates an intimate setting for tranquil, restful nights after soaking in the whirlpool garden tub or long hot showers in the tiled shower. Check on the pasture activity in the mornings while getting ready for the day from your large walk-in closet windows. Quality is carried through to all the bathrooms with tile floors and Corian counter tops.

Family and guests have the choice of three guest bedrooms. One guest bedroom suite offers a private bath and the other two share a Jack-n-Jill bath on the second floor. Utilize the bonus room as an office or game room. All of your seasonal decorations can be stored in one of several attic storage areas.

The 2013 36x40 three stall barn is ready for your horses or easily converted for your alpacas. Stalls are 12x12; have sliding stall doors and windows allowing the farm animals a view and breeze. There is room for additional stalls or finish the barn to your preference with a wash stall, tack room and hay storage. Store equipment under the shed row roof or utilize it as a run-in shelter. Large sliding end doors allow breezes during the warmer days of summer or can be closed up to help with the chill of winter. Not an equestrian or farmer, then take advantage of already having the perfect size building for your workshop or mechanics building.

Cut some riding or walking trails in the 3 acres of hardwoods and enjoy riding along the creek. Those of you with show horses will be glad to know there is an area already graded for an arena, just waiting for your choice of footings and fencing.

It is hard to find the ideal size acreage with the right size quality home and barn this close to Charlotte; therefore, it wont stay on the market long before it gets snatched up by one lucky buyer.
