Centrally located to several trail systems & many other equestrian properties, this 8.86 acre horse farm has been set up to satisfy the most discerning equestrian. Not only are the horses well housed the owners can enjoy many comfortable hours enjoying the well built quality brick home. Upon entering the property, you are immediately impressed by orderliness and design of the grounds. New & mature landscaping accents the driveway, front entrance and back patio area. Enter the home through a covered porch area into a large foyer with two coat closets and an open view of the great room with cathedral ceilings. Many upgrades throughout the home include hardwood and tile floors, recessed lighting, surround sound, columns and lots of trim and moldings. The gourmet kitchen offers corian counter tops, stainless steel appliances, double oven, gas range, pantry & breakfast area. The kitchen is open to the great room and screened in tile & brick porch. There is lots of opportunity for everyone to enjoy their own space, either in the great room, bright sunroom, upstairs bonus room or office/guest room. The elegant master suite has tray ceilings, French doors, large walk-in closet and a generous master bath with dual vanities, tile surround garden tub and separate shower. There is a great view of the barn and arena from the raised back patio. You can tell the owner is a true equestrian, since a lot of thought went into the layout of the 20m x 40 m arena, particularly the extensive drainage system, rock free sand footing and board fencing. The barn set-up is ideal with concrete aisleway, stall mats, agricultural barn fans, outdoor covered hay storage, run-in shed with hay feeders and a tack/feed room. Stalls vary in size with some large enough for foaling. Two field fenced pastures, both offer some trees providing shade and the rest planted in quality pasture. Two creeks border the property with equestrians on either side. A three car detached garage would make an ideal workshop, equipment storage, or easily convert it to an apartment. It currently has a large room finished and climate controlled. Several different towns and shopping areas can be reached within minutes, including Mathews, Mint Hill, Locust, Oakboro and Monroe. Also, just a 15 minute drive to the new I-485. This property is ideal for the equestrian that desires both a quality facility and home.
