Chatelaine Homes for Sale

Established 2007

Waxhaw's intimate French-inspired estate enclave

Chatelaine luxury homes occupy a small, gated, custom-only enclave on the western Waxhaw corridor — approximately 70 estate sites on 0.8–1.5 acre lots, distinguished by an architectural canon of French-country and European-inspired customs that makes Chatelaine the most architecturally distinct gated community in Waxhaw.

Chatelaine was built across 2007–2014 on a previously rural infill tract. The community's design covenant nudged builders toward French-country and European vernaculars — limestone and stucco, slate or clay-tile roofs, copper detailing, and formal European garden traditions — meaningfully different from the prevailing Waxhaw brick-and-Lowcountry canon.

The result is a streetscape that buyers relocating from northern Virginia, Connecticut, or Westchester recognize immediately — formal European architectural traditions executed at Carolina estate scale.

Pricing reflects the architectural distinctiveness, gates, and small footprint. Mid-tier Chatelaine customs range from $2M to $2.6M. Larger principal residences range from $2.6M to $3.2M. Bespoke estate-scale customs clear $3.2M–$3.5M+.
