Prime 67+ acre opportunity consisting of 3 parcels on Highway 49 N in a rapidly growing corridor of Cabarrus County. Zoned CR (Countryside Residential) and located outside city limits, this property is well-positioned for future development. The Town of Mt. Pleasant’s updated 2025 Future Land Use Map designates the property as Employment Center, a classification intended to support existing industry as well as future light industrial development and major employers.

There are properties that command a price, and there are properties that justify one. 3200 Beaty Road does both. Set on 54.93 private acres in Gaston County, outside city limits and bordering the protected edge of the Catawba Land Conservancy, this 2020 custom estate represents one of the most compelling value propositions in the greater Charlotte luxury market. To replicate the home alone at today's construction costs would exceed $3.4 million. Add the land, the barn, and the infrastructure, and the replacement cost climbs past $6 million. It is offered at $5,450,000. Bob Rouse Custom Homes delivered 8,174 square feet of meticulously crafted living space with a level of finish that is immediately apparent from the gated entry forward. A porte-cochere announces the arrival sequence. Inside, the residence is appointed with the intention and material quality expected of a home of this caliber, designed for full-time luxury living, not weekend approximation. The pool and outdoor kitchen extend the living environment seamlessly into the landscape. The 2,585-square-foot barn and carriage house, equipped with four stalls, serves the equestrian buyer as readily as it does the car collector or the working farm operation. The acreage itself is the kind of land that disappears from this corridor: deep, private, and productive, with a stocked pond, cleared vehicle and ATV trails throughout, and a level of pasturescaping that is rare for the area. Situated just outside city limits, the property allows hunting, sporting arms, and clays — a combination that is increasingly difficult to find this close to Charlotte. This is land that earns its acreage. Twenty minutes to Charlotte Douglas. Minutes from Gastonia Country Club, Gaston Day School, and Gaston Airport. Country club polish meets country life. For the right buyer, this is equally a legacy hold. As Charlotte's growth corridor continues its westward march through Gaston County, 54.93 acres on this address carries long-term exit strategy potential that few luxury estates can offer. The lifestyle is immediate. The upside is patient. This is a sportsman's paradise with the grace of a custom gated estate, tailored for the buyer who recognizes what can't be found twice.

Two boat lifts provide convenient access for multiple watercraft, making spontaneous days on the lake beautifully effortless. Collectors and adventure enthusiasts will appreciate the oversized garage with a dedicated third-bay RV garage, offering exceptional space for vehicles, boats, and recreational equipment. Set behind a private gated entrance with no HOA restrictions, this estate offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility, and shoreline scale that is increasingly difficult to find on Lake Norman. The expansive waterfront setting, sandy beach frontage, and sweeping views create an unforgettable sense of arrival and a lifestyle defined by both elegance and recreation. From sunset gatherings along the shoreline to mornings launching directly from your private pier, every element of this residence reflects intentional design and effortless luxury. With remarkable shoreline presence, Mediterranean architectural character, dual boat lifts, a fully equipped dockside kitchen, private guest quarters above the RV garage, ensuite accommodations throughout, and unmatched privacy, this exceptional Sherrills Ford waterfront estate represents a rare opportunity to own a true Lake Norman legacy property.
