Located along NC 18 Highway in Catawba County, North Carolina, this one-of-a-kind country estate combines luxury living, productive farmland, wooded acreage, multiple residences and buildings, abundant water and outstanding recreational opportunities. Convenient to Hickory, Morganton and Asheville, the property offers an exceptional blend of country living, farming, hunting, fishing and income-producing potential in the Western North Carolina Foothills.
Built in 2022, the approximately 5,000-square-foot custom home features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and two half bathrooms with an open floor plan designed for everyday living and entertaining. The custom kitchen offers a large island with beverage cooler, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, walk-in pantry and farm sink. Seven-inch-wide hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, while the living and dining area features an approximately 20-foot ceiling with exposed wood beams, gas fireplace with granite hearth and large windows overlooking the pool.
The spacious primary suite includes a tray ceiling, walk-in closet and pool views. The primary bathroom features heated tile floors, custom cabinetry and a large tiled shower. Covered front and rear porches provide additional outdoor living space overlooking the property and pool.
The attached four-car garage with epoxy floors includes an approximately 15-by-10-foot walk-in, climate controlled gun safe room with electronic vault door. Above the garage is a finished bonus room configured as a home theater with a 100-inch screen TV, custom sound, theater seating and lighting, along with a home office and additional storage.
Outdoor living centers around an approximately 35,000-gallon heated gunite pool featuring two waterfalls, a hot tub and travertine decking. A covered outdoor kitchen pavilion includes a custom grill, smoker, sink and bar seating, while a propane fire pit provides a gathering area with views of the open fields and South Mountains. Pool functions, sound, lighting and security can be controlled remotely by phone. Additional features include professional landscaping, irrigation and lighting, a Generac generator, tankless propane water heater, underground propane tank, zoned Trane HVAC systems, perimeter cameras and fire alarm system.
An approximately 6,500-square-foot barndominium built in 2023 has its own well and septic system and features epoxy floors, large garage doors, covered workspace/storage and mezzanine storage. It also includes a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment with an open kitchen and living area. Additional improvements include a 40-by-40-foot barn and a second home at 4009 NC 18 Highway, being sold as-is, offering approximately 1,200 square feet with three bedrooms and one bathroom.
The land is equally impressive, with approximately 40 acres of crop ground with farm leases in place and approximately 70 wooded acres featuring hardwood and pine timber. Multiple creeks wind through the property, while an approximately two-acre stocked pond offers fishing and valuable wildlife habitat.
Whitetail deer are abundant, with crop fields, mature woods, creek corridors and dependable water creating excellent habitat for deer and other wildlife. An established road system provides convenient access throughout the acreage for farming, land management, hunting and recreation.
A long private paved drive leads into the estate, where views of the South Mountains and Western North Carolina sunsets complete the setting. Few properties combine a custom luxury residence, resort-style outdoor living, large barndominium, additional residence, working farmland, timber, creeks, stocked pond and exceptional recreational opportunities in one offering. This is a truly distinctive Catawba County estate that would be difficult to duplicate.
