8626 Longview Club Drive, Waxhaw, NC 28173

Some homes are built. This one was composed. Set behind the gates of Longview Country Club, this Arcadia-built estate announces itself through a canopy of mature trees before the stone turret even comes into view. The winding paver approach and private porte cochere - sheltering four garage bays - offer a sense of arrival that never grows ordinary.

At 7,545 square feet across two levels, the architecture tells the story before a single door opens. Hand-laid stone, herringbone brickwork, intricate rooflines - every detail speaks to a standard of craftsmanship that simply isn't built anymore. Inside, the scale is grand but the feeling is warm.

A two-story living room frames sweeping views across two Longview fairways through floor-to-ceiling glass. The turret library - paneled walls, built-in shelving, a fireplace - is the kind of room that stops conversation. Five ensuite bedrooms are generously proportioned, with the primary suite offering a fireplace, private balcony and flex space for fitness or retreat.

Two staircases speak to how thoughtfully this home was designed for real life - equally suited to raising a family or hosting one. The upper-level recreation room, complete with a full bar and private balcony, flows naturally toward the outdoor world below.

Here, the property opens into a resort-caliber backyard: a freeform pool and spa set against travertine terraces, golf course views, multiple covered and uncovered gathering spaces, and a fully equipped pool cabana with a full kitchen, fireplace, and bath.

It is, in every sense, a second home within the home. Golf course views from nearly every angle. A community that needs no introduction. Longview Country Club is one of South Charlotte's most coveted addresses - a Jack Nicklaus signature course, tennis, fitness, dining, and a member community unlike any other. This estate is offered privately within its gates.
