Upstairs, the oversized owner’s suite includes a study, spa-like bath with heated tile floors, Jacuzzi tub, custom cabinetry, and a generous walk-in closet, complemented by four additional bedrooms and a versatile recreation room. The lower level serves as the perfect guest or teen retreat with its own bedroom, bath, and kitchenette. Outdoors, the property offers resort-style living with a saltwater pool, tennis court, gazebo, firepit, maintained trails, and a flowing creek. An exceptional outdoor kitchen and pool house complete the experience, featuring professional-grade appliances, cabinetry, and thoughtful amenities — ideal for entertaining year-round.
A magnificent 23-acre estate. Affectionately known to locals as the "Old Burris Home" in Lincolnton, NC. Built in 1976, it was the hub of entertainment and was often visited by celebrities such as Mickey Mantle. Every detail of this home was meticulously designed and crafted. Majestic wooden beams are prominent throughout the home; each beam was carefully salvaged and preserved from old local schools and churches. The house is a fortress in that its frame consists of 2'x6' solid cedar. There are 4 spectacular stone fireplaces. Expansive outdoor entertaining area complete with gorgeous in-ground pool, pool house/bar and fire pit. The home is magical. The walls are alive with love and the nature that surrounds it. The home is currently an artist's retreat but could naturally be converted back to a single-family residence.
