9208 Flying Eagle Lane, Charlotte, NC

Characterized by its rare Poplar Bark Shingle exterior, this 2014 residence in The Sanctuary at Lake Wylie represents a deliberate departure from conventional suburban architecture. The choice of antimicrobial, sustainably produced siding offers a maintenance-free lifespan exceeding 75 years, reflecting a commitment to permanence mirrored in the interior’s reclaimed barn wood and solid walnut cabinetry. Spanning 3,512 square feet, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom layout is anchored by a kitchen featuring an AGA Legacy range. While the main level emphasizes refined texture through stone tile and engineered hardwoods, the upper floor includes 1,030 square feet of framed and plumbed unfinished space, allowing for a seamless expansion of the private quarters. Positioned on 2.27 wooded acres, the property addresses a growing demand within the Lake Wylie submarket for significant acreage that balances secluded natural surroundings with high-specification construction. The potential to increase the footprint without compromising the home’s structural integrity offers a unique value proposition for long-term ownership. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.

About the home

Set on 2.27 wooded acres in The Sanctuary at Lake Wylie, this distinctive residence combines privacy, thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and exceptional potential for future expansion and instant equity. The home’s exterior is finished with authentic Poplar Bark Shingle siding—a maintenance-free, antimicrobial, sustainably produced material with an anticipated lifespan of more than 75 years. The structure was wrapped and roof-felted beneath the bark for added protection and durability. Inside, the home features a curated blend of reclaimed barn wood, stone tile, engineered hardwood flooring, solid walnut cabinetry, and custom architectural details. The well-appointed kitchen includes an AGA Legacy range and offers a welcoming setting for both daily living and entertaining. The main level provides a comfortable, functional layout filled with warmth and character, while the upper level includes two secondary bedrooms, each with its own full bath. An additional 1,030 square feet of framed and plumbed unfinished space upstairs offers valuable flexibility for future expansion. The unfinished space is well suited for a bedroom with an en suite bath, along with a bonus room or additional bedroom featuring a half bath. Beyond the home, the wooded grounds provide a peaceful and private setting for the heated saltwater pool and relaxed outdoor living. A 114-square-foot greenhouse with plumbing supports year-round gardening and cultivation. Residents also enjoy access to The Sanctuary’s 17-acre waterfront amenity area, which includes a resort-style pool, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, 24-hour fitness center, community boat slips, and scenic walking trails along Lake Wylie. With its distinctive materials, artistic design, privacy, amenities, and expansion potential, this exceptional property truly must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
