The gated enclave of Courance represents a disciplined study in French Country architecture, defined by a scale and provenance rarely found in Charlotte’s later developments. Constructed in 1998 as a personal residence for the community’s developer, the property occupies a significant position within the neighborhood, framing intentional views of the water. The 5,123-square-foot interior is characterized by authentic material choices, including wide-plank pine flooring and bespoke millwork that anchors the four-bedroom, four-bathroom layout. A main-level primary suite functions as a private wing, offering direct terrace access. For the discerning collector of real estate, this submarket remains a bastion of stability; these homes are frequently held for decades, making the availability of such a foundational estate a noteworthy event. The residence balances formal proportions with the warmth of natural stone and expansive glazing, creating a sophisticated environment for both quiet reflection and large-scale hosting. Private viewings of this estate are arranged exclusively through Peters & Associates.
About the home
A French Country estate of remarkable character, craftsmanship, and provenance awaits behind the gates of Courance. Originally built as the developer’s personal residence, this home occupies a special place within this distinctive Charlotte community, offering an exceptional combination of architectural beauty, gracious living, and serene lake views. From the moment you enter, the quality is unmistakable. Handcrafted millwork, wide-plank pine floors, soaring ceilings, natural stone, and expansive windows give the home a sense of warmth and authenticity rarely replicated in newer construction. Elegant formal rooms transition naturally into comfortable gathering spaces, creating a home equally suited to quiet evenings and memorable entertaining. At its heart, the beautifully appointed kitchen opens to inviting living areas where abundant natural light and picturesque views of the lake and landscaped grounds become part of the everyday experience. The main-level owner’s retreat is a private sanctuary with direct access to the upper terrace—a wonderful place to begin the morning or unwind at day’s end. Generously proportioned guest suites provide exceptional comfort and privacy, while thoughtful architectural details throughout the home reflect the craftsmanship and care with which it was originally created. Outside, covered terraces, manicured gardens, mature landscaping, and tranquil water views create a setting that feels remarkably private and removed, yet the best of Charlotte’s dining, shopping, and amenities are only minutes away. Courance residents and their guests also enjoy access to Pellyn Wood Lake, adding another dimension to this exceptional setting.Distinctive architecture. Beautiful surroundings. An extraordinary Charlotte location. This house is more than an impressive home—it is a property with a story, a sense of place, and a character all its own.
