12300 Mccord Road, Huntersville, NC

The scale of the 11.27-acre estate on McCord Road represents a significant departure from the traditional suburban density often found in the Lake Norman periphery. Built in 1998, the primary residence is a custom log structure spanning 6,033 square feet, offering a disciplined blend of rustic materiality and modern utility. The seven-bedroom floor plan is anchored by a chef’s kitchen featuring Viking appliances and a substantial prep island, while a dedicated second living quarter provides versatility for multi-generational requirements or live-in staff. While much of Huntersville has transitioned toward master-planned developments, this specific corridor remains one of the few areas where substantial acreage and privacy are still attainable within a reasonable commute to the city’s financial center. The inclusion of six bathrooms and an expansive great room with integrated cabinetry ensures the home functions as effectively for large-scale hosting as it does for a private retreat. Acquisitions of this magnitude in the north Mecklenburg submarket are increasingly rare as land becomes a premium commodity. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
