Have you ever seen the Charlotte skyline and Blue Ridge Mountains from one breathtaking vantage point? Perched atop Pasour Mountain on more than 100 private acres, 605 Recore Ridge delivers an extraordinary perspective few properties in the Carolinas can offer. Over a mile of paved private driveway across the top of Pasour Mountain providing separate gated access to main roads on both sides of the property. With panoramic sky views stretching from the glittering Charlotte skyline to the distant peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this mountaintop sanctuary is among the region’s most remarkable luxury estates. Built in 2012, the residence was thoughtfully designed to blend refined luxury, self-sufficiency, and unmatched natural beauty. The main level features a luxurious primary suite alongside a gourmet chef’s kitchen appointed with premium Bosch, Viking, and Sub-Zero stainless steel appliances. Expansive living spaces are framed by endless vistas and designed for both intimate living and exceptional entertaining. The upper level offers additional guest suites, while the fully finished lower level includes a private guest retreat, sauna, fitness room, and direct access overlooking the resort-style saltwater pool and mountain views beyond. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a pool house complete with full kitchen and bath, outdoor kitchen, covered overlook pavilion, serene pond, barn, and unforgettable sunset views that transform every evening into an experience. Designed with long-term sustainability and preparedness in mind, the estate features solar panels supporting heat and water systems, heated floors throughout, whole-house generator, and infrastructure intentionally built to function independently during natural emergencies. The attached three-car garage is complemented by upper-level recreation and living quarters with a Murphy bed, plus a separate workshop garage offering exceptional flexibility. From the professional workshop spaces to the expansive grounds and private retreat-like setting, every detail was carefully considered to create a property unlike anything else in the region. Offering complete privacy while remaining a convenient drive to Charlotte, this is more than a luxury home — it is a fully realized mountain estate designed for elevated living without compromise.

Northwest Gastonia, located between I-85 and Crowders Mountain State Park, is a residential and commercial Gastonia neighborhood with a wooded backdrop and a car-friendly street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Franklin Blvd (US-74) and Cox Rd corridor, where auto shops, local diners, and big-box retail create a steady, daytime hum. Nearby, Webb Custom Kitchen anchors the local food scene with a polished, chef-driven menu. The Schiele Museum of Natural History & Planetarium adds a cultural counterpoint with galleries and sky shows. Housing trends toward mid-century ranches and newer subdivisions, with pockets of mature trees and rolling terrain. Weekends often point toward trailheads and overlooks west of town.

The purpose of this district is to accommodate single-family site built and modular construction. The minimum lot size allowed in this district will be dependent on the provision of public or community water and sewer facilities. Although areas may be served with such utilities, most of these areas are located beyond existing or anticipated utility service coverage areas. The minimum lot size for residential uses in this district is therefore larger than in other residential zoning districts.
