A truly unique, special piece of paradise on 9 acres of woods and open spaces - yet only about 10 minutes from the restaurants, shops and activities of historic downtown Waxhaw. Hike down the property to scenic Waxhaw Creek, or relax at home surrounded by nature. The kitchen boasts a large island, granite countertops and twin pantry areas. The open living and dining areas feature a soaring double-height ceiling and wood-burning stove, leading to an expansive deck with a 264-SF sunroom overlooking the pond. A smaller koi pond cascades into the main pond, which features a dock and covered gazebo-a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the beauty. The main-level primary suite features a large walk-in closet and ensuite bath, with a door leading directly to the sunroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, an office that has served as a bedroom, and a generous bonus/game room. Horse lovers will appreciate the fenced pastures and corral, while gardeners will enjoy the fenced garden, shed and covered seating area. A 500-gallon buried propane tank serves the kitchen range, and there's plenty of firewood for the wood-burning stove. A detached one-bedroom cottage with full kitchen and bath adds flexibility. The cottage was created without permits and is being offered as-is. Privacy, water, woods, pasture, gardens and room to roam-this is a property you must experience to appreciate.
