Looking for privacy, acreage, and a shop all in one property near Maiden, NC? This one has it all. Tucked away down a long, winding gravel driveway, this 16.5 acre property delivers the kind of total privacy that's nearly impossible to find these days, along with options most buyers only dream about. As you turn in, you'll notice two separate 2-acre lots that have already been surveyed off the main acreage, giving you the flexibility to build a second home, add a guest house, or sell those lots separately down the road. Coming over the hill, you're greeted by a peaceful, fully stocked fishing pond and a massive 1200 sq ft Morton building, perfect for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone who needs serious space to store equipment, boats, or toys. Walk up to the house and a charming covered front porch welcomes you inside to a bright, open floor plan. The family room steals the show with soaring cathedral ceilings and a huge cathedral window made for watching wildlife right from the couch. It flows effortlessly into the dining area and a clean, simply designed kitchen that still offers plenty of storage. Down the hallway you'll find a convenient powder room and a large laundry room with its own door out to the back deck. The main-floor second bedroom connects seamlessly to both the primary suite and the laundry room and includes sliding glass doors to the outside, making it a great fit for a nursery or home office. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the main living space and leads to a private third bedroom with its own full bath. Outside truly feels like a private retreat. Relax on the back deck in your fenced backyard, soak in the hot tub (complete with a brand new cover), or spend the afternoon fishing in your own stocked pond. The 1200 sq ft detached Morton garage/workshop is built to last, with a fully insulated roof, 50-year warranty, concrete floor, cold running water, a large fan for summer, and a wood stove to keep things cozy all winter.

With an easy 45-minute commute to Charlotte, groceries just 10 minutes away, and retail stores less than 15 minutes out, this Maiden, NC acreage property with a shop, pond, and extra buildable land is the one you've been waiting for.
