Elegant $4.5M North Carolina Estate Showcases Sophisticated Design and Classic Grandeur
Set within the prestigious gated community of Longview Country Club, 8500 Longview Club Dr in Waxhaw, North Carolina, offers a rare blend of timeless sophistication and state-of-the-art amenities. Listed at $4,500,000, this European-inspired estate represents one of the finest homes currently available in Waxhaw Real Estate. With 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and 8,696 square feet of luxurious living space, the home is a testament to superior craftsmanship and intentional design.
Custom-built in 2004 by Unique Homes of Charlotte, the residence is sited on a quiet cul-de-sac lot spanning 1.45 acres. The grounds are graced by a saltwater pool, outdoor stone fireplace, putting green, and two double garages joined by a porte-cochere. Inside, the estate unfolds with elegance—soaring ceilings, warm stone and wood finishes, and an open plan that accommodates grand entertaining and private retreats alike.
“This is not just a house; it’s a fully curated living experience,” said Lisa McCrossan of Ivester Jackson Distinctive Properties in an interview with Luxury Houses Magazine. “The owner spared no expense turning 8500 Longview Club Dr into a private sanctuary.”

Refined Interiors Meet Resort-Level Amenities
The home’s interior is rich with thoughtful details and luxury finishes. A gourmet kitchen anchors the main level, featuring quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a cozy fireplace—a rare and dramatic centerpiece. Skylights above the breakfast nook flood the space with natural light, while the adjacent formal areas and library create a rhythm of intimacy and grandeur.
The main-level owner’s suite includes heated bathroom floors, a spa-style soaking tub, and an expansive walk-in closet. Upstairs, each additional bedroom is en-suite. The fully finished walk-out basement brings entertainment to the forefront with a theater room, bar, gym, sauna, and a self-contained guest suite complete with a private entrance and laundry.
“We’ve had buyers tell us this home feels like a boutique resort,” McCrossan shared with Luxury Houses. “The gym, sauna, and media room bring five-star living right to your door.”
This luxury residence also includes a full-house generator, multiple fireplaces, a wet bar, and zoned HVAC systems to ensure maximum year-round comfort.

A History of Increasing Value
The estate’s sales history mirrors its exceptional quality. Purchased in 2021 for $1.725 million, 8500 Longview Club Dr has undergone extensive renovations that justify its current $4.5 million list price—a staggering 160% increase in value. These improvements, along with the neighborhood’s desirability, have positioned the home as a standout within the North Carolina Real Estate market.
Though the owner has requested anonymity, McCrossan noted: “They’re a successful entrepreneur who prioritized peace, security, and quality. Their vision was always to create something that feels both timeless and personal.”
The appreciation in value also reflects Longview’s status as one of the Charlotte area’s most elite enclaves. Properties here rarely come to market—and when they do, they command attention.

The community’s gated entry, security patrol, and lush landscape elevate its status further, offering a balance of privacy and prestige unique to Waxhaw Real Estate.
“There’s nothing quite like Longview in the region,” McCrossan told Luxury Houses Magazine. “Between the golf, the privacy, and the architecture, it’s a lifestyle few places can match.”
For buyers seeking elegance, space, privacy, and resort-level amenities, 8500 Longview Club Dr offers an unparalleled opportunity. This is more than a home—it’s a personal retreat woven into one of the Southeast’s most distinguished communities.
