- Come see this wonderful Historic Equestrian Estate in NC
Keep two horses on your own property in upscale South Charlotte! No need to drive to a distant boarding barn because you will actually be in Charlotte, situated near I-485 and Providence Road, in desirable South Charlotte near Ballentyne, and 3 minutes from the best schools, fine dining and shopping, with quick, easy access to the uptown business district, Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and major highways to horse shows.
This breathtaking 5.45 acre property, with nearly 700 feet of road frontage, is surrounded by trees on every side, insuring privacy. Majestic old oak trees and over 170 azaleas greet you as you drive in. Magnificent landscaping and multiple formal gardens provide a tranquil setting and offer a retreat from the pressures of modern life.
This exquisite antebellum plantation, located at 3503 Tilley Morris Road, was built ca.1840 by James E. Hennigan, a prominent Mecklenburg County planter and local politician. The vernacular Upcountry Transitional Federal/Greek Revival home has been painstakingly restored and maintained to its former glory.
- It is a Mecklenburg County Historic Site, thus receiving a 50% property tax deferment.
Hennigan Place is highly original. The main house is 2205 heated square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths. The design lends itself to adding an ‘El’ behind off the kitchen if additional space, such as a 4th Bedroom/Bath, is desired. Upstairs features a 14’ x 20’ Master Bedroom with Fireplace, Master Bath/Closet complex, and a 2nd Bedroom with another Full Bath and Closet. Wide Center Halls are featured on both floors.
Downstairs includes a large 14’ x 20’ Living Room with Fireplace, a beautiful Formal 14’ x 20’ Dining Room with Fireplace, and a long Country Kitchen with Breakfast Area, as well as a 3rd Bedroom and a Half-bath.. The interior features high ceilings, heart pine floors, beautiful plaster, and hand made moldings. The 3 fireplaces work beautifully. Two new heat pumps were installed in 2005. The house is well insulated throughout and was brought up to code at restoration. It is ready to move in immediately!
This historic equestrian property is zoned for 2 horses with a 2-stall barn with a beautiful paneled tack room and an overhead loft which will hold over 100 bales of hay or straw. An automatic insect spray system is featured. Several water hydrants are scattered throughout the property and the equestrian facilities. Stall floors are Equi-terr tiled with excellent drainage. The breezeway is concrete with a sloping wash area at the rear.
A hand-split locust “snake” fence topped with electric wire surrounds approximately 2 ½ acres, which includes over 2 acres of lush pasture and woods with some trails. The gates are hung from two 12” x 12” posts, providing a 16 feet wide entryway. The pasture has had horses of all sizes throughout the years, and has had ample room for a dressage arena, a jump course, and carriage driving obstacles. The driveways, which weave throughout the property are Concord Pit Gravel, perfect for exercising horses. A large nearby public park features equestrian trails for offsite riding.
A 2-story Carriage House/Garage/Shop with heat and air conditioning is fully insulated and paneled. One end features a 6” wall and through-slab conduit for future addition of plumbing, should the upstairs be converted to living quarters. Currently the structure contains a complete shop and houses the owner’s carriages. A lovely Well House/Potting Shed is convenient to the Formal Gardens behind the house.
This property offers the beauty of the Old South with all the amenities of the New South and is totally unique in the Greater Charlotte Area.
