THE RANCH AT FAIRES RD: A Modern Equestrian Estate. Set quietly beyond the pace of Charlotte, this 26+ acre modern ranch estate offers a rare expression of architectural intention and landscape harmony. Conceived by Frank Smith after years of immersive study in contemporary design, and brought to life with interiors by Barrie Benson and craftsmanship by Kingswood Custom Homes, the home is both a personal retreat and is considered a work of modern architecture. The approach is deliberate—a sweeping motorcourt, anchored by a sculptural fountain, sets a tone of understated grandeur. Inside, the residence unfolds through volumes of glass and stone, where light becomes a defining material. Floor-to-ceiling storefront windows and pivoting glass doors dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape, opening to a composition of water, sky, and rolling acreage. At the heart of the home, materials are both tactile and restrained—wide-plank black walnut floors, flamed leathered granite, and precision-crafted cabinetry that reveals itself at the touch. A curated Miele kitchen suite balances performance with quiet elegance, designed as much for gathering as for function. The primary suite is conceived as a private pavilion, complete with a steam shower and an intimate outdoor bathing terrace—an experience that invites stillness and connection to the surrounding landscape. Beyond the walls, the estate unfolds as an immersive environment. A heated saltwater pool with integrated current system allows for both leisure and training, while a private pond—stocked for bass and brim fishing—reflects the changing light of day. A driving range introduces a refined recreational element, complemented by expansive acreage suited for skeet shooting, four-wheeling, and dirt biking along established trails. Thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, the property offers a dynamic outdoor lifestyle—equally suited for quiet moments in nature and more active pursuits across the land. The equestrian component is equally considered, designed to resonate with discerning equestrians and those drawn to a refined rural lifestyle. A well-appointed barn serves as both a functional working stable and a natural extension of the estate, offering four stalls, a dedicated tack room and lofted hay storage for efficient daily operation. A covered equipment shed provides seamless access to vehicle storage and groundskeeping implements, supporting the stewardship of the land. The surrounding acreage lends itself naturally to multiple fenced pastures and paddocks, allowing for thoughtful rotation, while rolling terrain and open sightlines create an ideal setting for private riding trails—suited for both leisurely rides and more focused training within the privacy of the estate. Enhancing the experience, the barn also incorporates a gym, half bath and a thoughtfully appointed kitchen and outdoor lounge space with fire pit, allowing for an effortless transition between training, care, and relaxation. Integrated technology—via a Savant whole-home system—operates discreetly in the background, orchestrating lighting and climate with precision. A Generac generator, underground propane reserves, and whole-home water filtration reinforce a sense of self-sufficiency. Additional adjacent parcels are being offered. A 33.88-acre tract (MLS#4410822) is available with an additional guest house, offered as-is. Expansion to the southeast is also possible with a wooded 9.27-acres (MLS#4410815), making for a total possible 69.58-acre compound. Located within convenient reach of Charlotte, yet intentionally removed from its immediacy, this estate offers a compelling duality: accessibility and escape. It is a place defined not only by its design, but by the experience it creates—quiet, expansive, and enduring.

Some houses just have a story behind them. This one has a real one, and papers to back it up. Built in 1952 and set on just over 3 acres in the city of Newton, this mid-century modern brick home was built by Dr. and Mrs. Frank Jones, who first called it home. Their name is still on a 1957 blueprint kept with the property, drawn by the architecture and landscape firm Tashiro and Bolick out of Hickory, for the conservatory that still stands on the land today. That kind of documented history is hard to find, and it makes this place more than just another listing. The home is integrated into the landscape and provide privacy, conservation of the native trees and would provide a sanctuary for a gardening afficionado. This is a rare chance to own a piece of Newton's architectural history, and with the paperwork to prove where it came from. This home is an architectural masterpiece, and offers a buyer the opportunity to restore/enjoy this mid-century modern piece of art. Inside, you'll find 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths spread across 3,626 square feet. The two basements add another approximately 1600 sq ft. Professional measurements are forthcoming. The primary bedroom has its own full bath. Two more bedrooms share a jack and jill bath between them. And a guest bedroom (previously would have been a maid or butler suite), set up like its own private suite, has a full bath all its own, good for visitors, guests or anyone who needs their own space under this roof. The primary bedroom has an ensuite that has two separated toilets, vanity rooms with built in closets/shoe racks and are separated by a soaking tub and separate shower. A half bath sits right in the middle of the home near the living room and library, so guests never have far to go. Speaking of the library, it's a full room of its own, a real spot for books, quiet work, or just a place to close the door for a while. The niche specific features of this home are a full butler's pantry, wet-bar adjoining the library and a cedar lined coat closet. This home was built when entertaining with the life of the home, and this house has that flow. Walk into the foyer and you're greeted by a water feature built right into the entrance, a first impression you won't find in many homes on the market today. The living room is where this house really shows off. Picture windows line the room, framing the landscaping outside like a piece of art you never have to hang. A two sided fireplace sits right between the expansive living room and dining room, warming the room from both angles. The kitchen comes with a gas stove, the kind of feature that gets real cooks excited. Radiant heat runs through the floors, and each side of the house has its own separate heating and cooling system, so everybody can set the temperature the way they like it. This home has two basements, both with exits outdoors. One is set up as a wood shop, one has all the boiler/furnace/power units. Plenty of room for storage or activities. Step outside and you've got three separate porches to choose from, depending on the light or the season. There's a masonry garage and built in irrigation system to maintain the mature landscaping. And then there's the conservatory itself, a gas powered greenhouse made of metal and glass, standing since the 1950s and tied straight back to that original Tashiro and Bolick blueprint.
