There are properties that command a price, and there are properties that justify one. 3200 Beaty Road does both. Set on 54.93 private acres in Gaston County, outside city limits and bordering the protected edge of the Catawba Land Conservancy, this 2020 custom estate represents one of the most compelling value propositions in the greater Charlotte luxury market. To replicate the home alone at today's construction costs would exceed $3.4 million. Add the land, the barn, and the infrastructure, and the replacement cost climbs past $6 million. It is offered at $5,450,000. Bob Rouse Custom Homes delivered 8,174 square feet of meticulously crafted living space with a level of finish that is immediately apparent from the gated entry forward. A porte-cochere announces the arrival sequence. Inside, the residence is appointed with the intention and material quality expected of a home of this caliber, designed for full-time luxury living, not weekend approximation. The pool and outdoor kitchen extend the living environment seamlessly into the landscape. The 2,585-square-foot barn and carriage house, equipped with four stalls, serves the equestrian buyer as readily as it does the car collector or the working farm operation. The acreage itself is the kind of land that disappears from this corridor: deep, private, and productive, with a stocked pond, cleared vehicle and ATV trails throughout, and a level of pasturescaping that is rare for the area. Situated just outside city limits, the property allows hunting, sporting arms, and clays — a combination that is increasingly difficult to find this close to Charlotte. This is land that earns its acreage. Twenty minutes to Charlotte Douglas. Minutes from Gastonia Country Club, Gaston Day School, and Gaston Airport. Country club polish meets country life. For the right buyer, this is equally a legacy hold. As Charlotte's growth corridor continues its westward march through Gaston County, 54.93 acres on this address carries long-term exit strategy potential that few luxury estates can offer. The lifestyle is immediate. The upside is patient. This is a sportsman's paradise with the grace of a custom gated estate, tailored for the buyer who recognizes what can't be found twice.

THE RANCH AT FAIRES RD: A Modern Equestrian Estate. Set quietly beyond the pace of Charlotte, this 69+ acre modern ranch estate offers a rare expression of architectural intention and landscape harmony. Conceived by Frank Smith after years of immersive study in contemporary design, and brought to life with interiors by Barrie Benson and craftsmanship by Kingswood Custom Homes, the home is both a personal retreat and a considered work of modern architecture. The approach is deliberate—a sweeping motorcourt, anchored by a sculptural fountain, sets a tone of understated grandeur. Inside, the residence unfolds through volumes of glass and stone, where light becomes a defining material. Floor-to-ceiling storefront windows and pivoting glass doors dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape, opening to a composition of water, sky, and rolling acreage. At the heart of the home, materials are both tactile and restrained—wide-plank black walnut floors, flamed leathered granite, and precision-crafted cabinetry that reveals itself at the touch. A curated Miele kitchen suite balances performance with quiet elegance, designed as much for gathering as for function. The primary suite is conceived as a private pavilion, complete with a steam shower and an intimate outdoor bathing terrace—an experience that invites stillness and connection to the surrounding landscape. Beyond the walls, the estate unfolds as an immersive environment. A heated pool with integrated current system allows for both leisure and training, while a private pond—stocked for bass and brim fishing—reflects the changing light of day. A driving range introduces a refined recreational element, complemented by expansive acreage suited for skeet shooting, four-wheeling, and dirt biking along established trails. Thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, the property offers a dynamic outdoor lifestyle—equally suited for quiet moments in nature and more active pursuits across the land. The equestrian component is equally considered, designed to resonate with discerning equestrians and those drawn to a refined rural lifestyle. A well-appointed barn serves as both a functional working stable and a natural extension of the estate, offering four stalls, a dedicated tack room, and lofted hay storage for efficient daily operation. A covered equipment shed provides seamless access to vehicle storage and groundskeeping implements, supporting the stewardship of the land. The surrounding acreage lends itself naturally to multiple fenced pastures and paddocks, allowing for thoughtful rotation, while rolling terrain and open sightlines create an ideal setting for private riding trails—suited for both leisurely rides and more focused training within the privacy of the estate. Enhancing the experience, the barn also incorporates a gym and a thoughtfully appointed kitchen and outdoor lounge space with fire pit, allowing for an effortless transition between training, care, and relaxation. Integrated technology—via a Savant whole-home system—operates discreetly in the background, orchestrating lighting, climate, and security with precision. A Generac generator, underground propane reserves, and whole-home water filtration reinforce a sense of self-sufficiency. An additional guest house, offered as-is, presents an opportunity for further personalization. Located within convenient reach of Charlotte, yet intentionally removed from its immediacy, this estate offers a compelling duality: accessibility and escape. It is a place defined not only by its design, but by the experience it creates—quiet, expansive, and enduring.
