9717 Lancaster Highway

Waxhaw, NC 28173

There are properties designed simply to live in… and there are properties designed for the way people truly want to live. Hidden beyond a winding quarter-mile paved driveway, tucked deep within 21 private wooded acres between Waxhaw, Monroe, and Lancaster, this remarkable estate was created as a place to gather, retreat, celebrate, and reconnect. Long before you reach the home, the outside world begins to disappear. Towering hardwoods line the drive, creating a sense of arrival that feels increasingly rare in this rapidly growing region where finding 20+ private acres has become almost impossible. As the trees open, the home emerges; warm, inviting, and intentionally designed to blend luxury with comfort rather than formality. The current owners reimagined the home in 2024, thoughtfully transforming it into a destination for everyday living and unforgettable moments of entertaining. Their vision was not simply to renovate rooms, but to create spaces where people naturally gather; where holidays spill from the kitchen into the great room, where conversations continue long after dinner on the screened porch, and where summer weekends revolve around swimming, grilling, games, and laughter under the lights of the backyard retreat. At the center of the home is the stunning Sara Lynn Brennan designer kitchen and scullery, equal parts showpiece and workspace. Custom cabinetry, premium Thermador appliances, handcrafted finishes, quartz surfaces, layered lighting, and furniture-style islands create a space that feels sophisticated yet welcoming. Open sightlines into the great room and outdoor living areas allow the cook to remain part of every conversation, football game, birthday celebration, or quiet evening by the fire. Walls of windows and sliding glass doors blur the line between indoors and out, drawing your attention to the backyard oasis that feels more like a private resort tucked into the woods. Designed for connection and entertaining, the outdoor spaces include a heated saltwater gunite pool, travertine terraces, outdoor kitchen, pergola lounge, firepit gathering area, giant chess board, game spaces, and winding trails through the trees. Whether hosting large celebrations or enjoying peaceful mornings with coffee overlooking the pool, every space was designed to be experienced and shared. The home itself balances openness with privacy. The main-level primary suite offers tranquil views of the backyard and pool, while guest bedrooms, flexible living spaces, and a private upper-level office and retreat provide room for work, wellness, hobbies, or quiet escape. The walk-out basement with separate entrance and additional unfinished heated space offers incredible flexibility for multi-generational living, recreation, future expansion, or guest accommodations. What makes this property special is not simply the acreage, the renovations, or the amenities; it is the feeling the property creates. It is the kind of place where children spend summers outdoors instead of inside, where friends linger late into the evening around the firepit, where holidays become traditions, and where privacy, nature, and luxury coexist in a way that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. This is more than a home. It is a retreat, a gathering place, and a legacy property designed for the moments that matter most.
