315 Brief Road W, Indian Trail, NC

Establishing a significant presence in Indian Trail, this forty-three-acre equestrian estate represents a rare scale of private landholding within reach of the Charlotte metropolitan corridor. The 6,106-square-foot residence, originally constructed in 2005, underwent a comprehensive transformation in 2023 that elevated the four-bedroom, five-bathroom interior to contemporary standards. Beyond the aesthetic updates to the masonry and hardwoods, the renovation focused on substantial infrastructure, incorporating closed-cell foam insulation, full crawl space encapsulation, and entirely new climate control systems. The property is designed for the serious horseman, featuring multiple barns and extensive perimeter fencing, balanced by a refined outdoor program including a recently automated, re-plastered pool. As large-acreage parcels in Union County face increasing pressure from residential development, estates of this magnitude offer a stable hedge for buyers seeking long-term privacy without sacrificing proximity to urban amenities.

About the home

A rare opportunity to own one of the region’s premier luxury equestrian estates, set on 43+/- private acres just minutes from Charlotte. Behind a coded gated entrance, a winding drive opens to a completely remodeled over 6,000 sq. ft. residence, multiple barns, and resort-style amenities—crafted for both refined living and equestrian pursuits. The main home was extensively updated in 2023 with thoughtful attention to every detail. Exterior improvements include a new roof, fresh stucco finish, a new concrete driveway, repaired and painted roofs on all outbuildings, and fully updated fencing with added aluminum sections. Inside, the home has been transformed with new hardwood floors, custom molding, designer lighting, new countertops, modern appliances, spa-like bathrooms with re-tiled showers, a steam unit in the primary suite, and an expanded walk-in closet. A custom dog shower brings convenience, while mechanical upgrades such as all-new AC units with ductwork, foam insulation, a water-softening system, endless water heater, and a fully encapsulated crawl space with humidifier provide lasting comfort. Outdoor living was also reimagined with a re-plastered pool and new automated equipment, a built-in grill, enhanced drainage and landscaping, and the addition of new exterior lighting and a comprehensive camera system. Elegant living spaces feature a home theater, chef’s kitchen, and generous walk-in closets—designed for both comfort and practicality.
