Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a home where art, nature, and thoughtful design come together. The centerpiece of this extraordinary property is the Japanese garden, personally designed and created by sculptor Charles Pilkey—a peaceful, inspiring retreat that gives this Mint Hill home a character unlike anything else on the market. The grounds continue to enchant with dedicated vegetable and butterfly gardens and an impressive collection of established fruit trees and bushes, including blueberries, blackberries, peach, pear, plum, fig, and Japanese persimmon. Tucked away at the rear of the property is perhaps its most fascinating feature—Charles Pilkey’s original sculptor’s studio, the creative space where he spent countless hours working, finding inspiration, and bringing many of his remarkable works to life. Rich with artistic history and possibility, the studio offers the next owner an extraordinary space to continue that creative legacy—whether as an art studio, woodworking or craft workshop, creative retreat, garage, or versatile hobby space. Inside, significant recent improvements blend modern comfort with the home’s distinctive character. The kitchen was updated last year, both second-floor bathrooms were recently renovated, the HVAC has been updated, and a new roof was installed last year. More than a residence, this is a one-of-a-kind Charlotte property with an artistic soul and remarkable garden setting—a home where creativity was nurtured, masterpieces were imagined, and nature became part of everyday life. Now, it is ready to inspire its next chapter.
