Highgate
Craving the peace and serenity of the country but reluctant to leave the conveniences of the city? Then visit Highgate, located in the Town of Weddington , two miles south of I485 access, minutes from shopping, major employment centers such as Ballantyne, SouthPark, Fort Mill as well as uptown Charlotte. The highly rated Weddington School System and low Union County taxes are added benefits of this popular neighborhood.
Once you turn down the streets of Highgate, you’ll be charmed by the period architecture reminiscent of a bygone era. Turrets, stone and tumbled brick exteriors create a picturesque streetscape, adding to the ambiance of the neighborhood itself. Acres of open space, walking trails, ponds with fountains and estate-sized lots will give you the room to breathe you desire.
MacNeil Homes uses the timeless exteriors created by award-winning architects with functional floorplans designed to meet the needs of today’s families. Mahogany front doors, covered verandas, mudrooms, chef’s kitchens complete with the latest in home appliances, custom cabinetry, and walk-in pantries are just a few of the features you will love about our homes. Your family will love the convenience of having their own private bath and walk-in closet that comes standard in all our plans. Please see a sample of the new homes offered in Highgate under our Sample Floor Plans menu.
Sanctuary & Chapel Cove
Escape to a higher level of peaceful living along the shores of Charlotte’s own scenic Lake Wylie.
Award-winning developer, Crescent Resources, has created two environmentally sensitive neighborhoods; both The Sanctuary and more recently Chapel Cove, combine the tranquil backdrop of nature and the lake with popular amenities desired by the even the most discriminating buyers.
The Sanctuary:If you’ve dreamed of a home in the country... a place to get way from it all with room to breathe, this 1,300 nature reserve affords ample opportunity to build a tranquil “escape” yet is minutes away from all of the conveniences of a vibrant city. Home sites or “Private Preserves” aptly named for their size, range from over 2 to over 13 acres and are priced from the mid $200,000’s for interior Preserves.
Amenities include:
20 miles of nature trails
200 acres of natural areas
7 miles of shoreline along the lake
“The Camp” – a 17 acre waterfront amenity area and amphitheater, enjoy boating, picnicking, tennis, or sunning by one of the pools. There’s also a fitness center, kitchen and kid’s room in The Lodge.
Chapel Cove:
Inspired by the success of The Sanctuary, nearby Chapel Cove continues the eco-friendly approach to development. Here, large wooded lots range from ½ to over 2 acres with prices starting from the low $100,000’s for interior lots.
Amenities include:
A five-acre amenity park complete with a family activity center, junior Olympic pool, kid’s splash pool, and 5 tennis courts
