The value of this ten-acre Union County estate lies in its rare balance of rural seclusion and immediate proximity to the amenities of downtown Matthews. Established in 2001, the property currently features an 1,816-square-foot residence with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, supplemented by a substantial workshop. However, for the discerning collector of real estate, the site serves primarily as a significant land play. In a submarket where large, contiguous parcels are increasingly scarce, this acreage offers the infrastructure—including existing septic and nearby sewer access—necessary to anchor a substantial private compound or a bespoke residential development. The site carries a distinct local heritage, yet its future is defined by the potential for a contemporary architectural legacy. Buyers in the current Matthews corridor are increasingly prioritizing these expansive transition properties that offer lower county taxes without sacrificing urban convenience. Private consultations regarding the acquisition of this estate and its remaining outbuildings are available through Peters & Associates.
