A Gardener’s Estate

Set on two private acres in North Carolina, this custom-built estate is defined not just by the home itself, but by the grounds that surround it. 

Located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just minutes from Lake Hickory Country Club and downtown Hickory, and within easy reach of Blowing Rock, Charlotte, and Asheville, the estate balances privacy with accessibility.

All brick. 7,000+ square feet. European-inspired grounds and landscaping. Professional art studio, greenhouse, and wine cellar. Custom architectural details sourced from around the globe. Brand new roof and skylights. High-end fixtures and appliances. Stunning solarium and impressive home theater. Private yet connected. And the list goes on… This is not simply a residence— it’s a fully realized estate, where architecture, landscape, and lifestyle come together with intention.

The grounds are thoughtfully designed and fully realized with manicured hedges, curated plantings, and winding paths that lead to a freshwater pond and private road. A professional greenhouse surrounded by a rose garden anchors the experience, offering both beauty and function for year-round cultivation. A commercial-grade 300 square foot walk-in wine cellar completes the romantic aesthetic of the grounds.

The chef’s kitchen is built for serious use, centered around a custom-installed 10-burner BlueStar range and double ovens with a copper and carved wood hood vent sourced from Thailand. The kitchen also boasts dual islands, designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. An expansive dining area framed by a wall of windows overlooks the gardens and rear terrace, bringing the outdoors fully into view. Other notable mentions are the Bosch dishwasher and Thermador refrigerator.

The main level includes a vaulted primary suite with cathedral-inspired architecture, highlighted by arched ceilings, decorative glass and wood detailing, and expansive windows. The room’s other unique features include two separate his-and-hers bathrooms with custom walk-in closets.

The home has a secondary primary suite upstairs with an ensuite bathroom, multiple closets, and a fireplace, and a third living area/in-law suite located in the lower level. Multigenerational living made easy! This house offers flexibility for both living and hosting.

This estate is an entertainer’s dream, an artist’s paradise, and a gardener’s retreat. So many beautiful, unique features you have to see to believe. A once in a lifetime property. Come see it and fall in love!
