176 Meek Road, Gastonia, NC

The preservation of a nineteenth-century estate requires a rare convergence of scale and utility, a balance achieved within this 1876 residence. Set across 7.61 acres in Gastonia, the property serves as a functional compound for the serious collector or equestrian. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home spans 3,296 square feet, though the site’s true gravity lies in its extensive infrastructure. A 10,000-square-foot barn serves as the primary anchor, housing a lighted indoor riding arena, thirteen stalls, and three-phase power. Beyond the equestrian facilities, the estate provides significant capacity for vehicle collections, featuring garage and covered storage for approximately eight vehicles alongside a private pond and dock. As large-acreage parcels with established utility become increasingly scarce within the greater Charlotte perimeter, properties of this configuration offer a unique insulation against suburban density. This estate represents a versatile land holding for those requiring specific technical amenities without sacrificing proximity to the city center. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.

About the home

A truly rare opportunity awaits on 7.61 acres offering an exceptional combination of country living, equestrian amenities, incredible garage and storage space, and convenient access to the greater Charlotte region. Whether you are an equestrian enthusiast, car collector, RV owner, hobbyist, or simply looking for acreage and room to spread out, this one-of-a-kind property offers possibilities that are increasingly difficult to find. At the heart of the approx. 10,000 sq ft barn is an impressive lighted indoor riding arena, allowing you to ride, train, and work with horses throughout the year. The extensive barn facilities include 13 stalls, a large one for birthing, a tack room, office, bathroom, hay storage, and three-phase power, creating a well-equipped setup for serious equestrian use. Multiple fenced pastures provide plenty of room for horses and livestock, while the property's pond with its own dock adds another peaceful outdoor feature to enjoy. Need space for vehicles, equipment, tractors, mowers, boats, trailers, or toys? This property delivers. There is enough garage and covered parking for approximately eight vehicles, along with additional covered storage and parking areas. 30 & 50-amp motorhome hookups provide excellent accommodations for RVs, guests, or additional recreational needs. The acreage also offers the potential for an additional homesite, providing an exciting opportunity for a second residence, guest home, multigenerational living arrangement, or future expansion, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and approval requirements. The residence itself has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, offering comfortable living spaces surrounded by the privacy and tranquility of the acreage. Step outside and enjoy your own private retreat with a hot tub and above-ground swimming pool, along with plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, recreation, gardening, animals, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting from the rear deck or wraparound covered porch. What makes this property even more remarkable is its location. Situated near the state line, you can enjoy the space and privacy of acreage without giving up convenient access to the surrounding region. Gastonia, Charlotte, Rock Hill, I-85, and I-485 are all within convenient reach, with Uptown Charlotte and Charlotte Douglas International Airport approximately 30-35 minutes away, depending on traffic and route. Schools, shopping, dining, healthcare, and everyday conveniences are also nearby. Properties offering this combination of 7.61 acres, an indoor riding arena, extensive barn facilities, fenced pastures, pond and dock, tremendous garage and covered parking, RV hookups, three-phase power, and the potential for an additional homesite simply do not come along often. For the horse enthusiast, this could be the property you've been waiting for. For the buyer who needs serious space for vehicles, equipment, RVs, hobbies, or a home-based lifestyle, the possibilities are equally impressive. Bring the horses, bring the RV, bring the cars, bring the toys—and discover a property with the space and versatility to accommodate them all.
