Cardinal Woods Homes for Sale
Established 1999
Weddington's quiet wooded estate enclave
Cardinal Woods luxury homes occupy a small, quiet, predominantly custom-home enclave on the southern Weddington edge — distinguished by deep wooded lot setbacks, tenured ownership, and the community's structural advantage of full Weddington school zoning at sub-Highgate pricing.
Cardinal Woods was built across the late 1990s and 2000s on a previously timbered tract. The result is a community of approximately 110 custom homes on 1–2 acre wooded lots, with a streetscape character that feels meaningfully more rural than Providence Pointe or Weddington Chase despite being inside the same school zoning.
Architecturally, Cardinal Woods carries the late-1990s and 2000s Weddington vernacular — full-brick Georgians, brick-and-stucco customs, and a handful of bespoke estate-scale principal residences. Most homes sit set back from the road behind 30+ year-old hardwood canopy, producing the community's defining wooded-estate character.
Pricing reflects the established footprint, tight inventory, and lot scale. Mid-tier Cardinal Woods customs range from $1.4M to $1.9M. Larger principal residences range from $1.9M to $2.4M. The strongest renovated and bespoke estates clear $2.4M–$2.6M+.

Living in Cardinal Woods
Daily life in Cardinal Woods is intentionally quiet — no community pool, no clubhouse, by design. The community trades amenity volume for natural privacy.
The structural amenity is the wooded estate character. Hardwood canopy, deep setbacks, and tenured ownership produce a streetscape that feels meaningfully more rural than the larger Weddington custom-home communities.
Charlotte access via Providence Road — Uptown roughly 35–40 minutes off-peak, SouthPark roughly 25–30 minutes.
