This extraordinary Victorian-era farmhouse, known as the McElroy House (c. 1883), seamlessly combines historic charm with modern luxury on 5 acres of pristine… Read More land. Unlike the typical and conservative I-house architecture of the time, the McElroy House is an outstanding example of the T-shaped two-story farmhouses built after the Civil War. The restored home bridges the gap between period significance and modern, functional living and includes the creation of a designer gourmet kitchen ideal for entertaining, as well as updated bathrooms. The incremental renovations occurred while preserving character, the 4-bedroom home boasts original hardwoods, ornate woodwork, a stunning staircase, 8 fireplaces (1 functional with woodstove insert) and outdoor living spaces ideal for morning coffee or evening breezes while enjoying the farm and animal views. The grounds are shaded by mature oaks and like the home, have a mixture of historical and modern elements featuring curated landscaping designed and created by a Master Gardener, a saltwater in-ground pool, bocce ball and hobby farm amenities built to accommodate farm animals of your choice with fencing, pastures, and a traditional barn. Adjacent to the home is a garage wired to charge electric vehicles. A fieldstone chimney stands behind the home (perhaps the remains of a summer kitchen). Nearby a tack house (now used as a tool/pool shed) stands on granite slabs. In the background is an 8-stall traditional barn with 2nd floor hay loft and adjoining chicken coop, all complemented by a round pen and Ramm cross-fenced pastures, ideal for equestrian/farm animal use. Situated in the Lake Norman area, the property is near Latta Nature Preserve, offering easy access to 16 miles of equestrian, hiking, and biking trails. Enjoy peaceful country living just minutes from Birkdale Village, I-77/I-485, and a short drive to Charlotte and Douglas International Airport. For generations the McElroy Home has been occupied by the family and direct descendants. Only the third non-family owners, the current owner as well as the previous, were outstanding stewards of this historical gem. They understood that they were the “temporary keeper” balancing the preservation of the home’s original character with the need for modern functionality for future generations. Currently searching for the next steward of the home and land, one that wants to embrace history and a time when we lived off the land, spent the majority of our time outdoors working the gardens, taking care of the livestock and putting food on the table. Considering a lifestyle reminiscent of times that have passed us by, and a more natural lifestyle yet appreciate access to modern amenities and cultural activities, McElroy House and farm may be the answer.
