Beautiful Opportunity in Matthews! This established micro-estate pairs a thoughtfully designed home with nearly five acres of private land, offering the freedom and flexibility you’ve been seeking. The Charming, two bedroom bungalow embodies modern-rustic charm and deliberate design. So many details reflect quality: tile work throughout the bath, thoughtful upgrades, and single-level living that feels effortless and welcoming. The home's intimate footprint makes great use of space with a flow that just feels right. Step outside to discover the true lifestyle magic. A covered front porch offers Southern hospitality and curb appeal, while your generous screened porch becomes an all-season sanctuary—perfect for morning coffee, afternoon refuge, or evening conversation. An expansive back deck further extends your living space into the landscape, ideal for large gatherings or quiet sunsets framed by mature trees. Beyond the main residence, a wired studio with its own sitting porch awaits—ready to serve as a creative sanctuary, dedicated home office, peaceful guest retreat, or artist's studio. A rustic and colorful outbuilding currently functions as storage and offers practical utility and authentic country character. Mature trees and open clearings combine to create an ideal setting for organic gardening, small-scale homesteading, fruit orchards, or outdoor recreation. Whether you dream of a creative compound or simply preserving pristine natural buffer, this acreage is ready for your creativity. What truly distinguishes this property are three separately deeded parcels unified under single ownership. This land assemblage offers genuine options that ordinary properties cannot: Maximize your sanctuary on five private acres preserving a natural buffer of land as permanent protection against future development; Build a second residence or family compound on the expanded acreage; Develop individual parcels while keeping your home's serene setting intact; OR Create a multi-generational family estate with defined living spaces. As undeveloped land near Charlotte becomes increasingly fragmented and scarce, this contiguous assembly represents both immediate lifestyle value and enduring investment potential. The flexibility built into this property's structure grows more valuable every year. This property is for those who value quiet mornings, genuine privacy, and the freedom to shape life on their own terms. Whether you seek a creative retreat, homesteading haven, multi-generational home, or simply a peaceful place to breathe, 1105 Union Road offers something rare near a thriving city: real land, real privacy, and real possibility.
