About this home

Welcome to 433 Highland Forest Drive—an extraordinary estate set on approximately 3 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with mature trees, offering over 15,000 square feet of meticulously designed living space. This one-of-a-kind residence seamlessly blends grand scale with refined elegance, delivering an unparalleled lifestyle of comfort, entertainment, and wellness.

Upon entry, soaring 12-foot ceilings on both the main and lower levels, striking architectural details, and expansive living areas create a dramatic first impression. Designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining, the home showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout.

The fully finished lower level is an entertainer’s dream, complete with a private 12-seat theater, indoor bowling alley, arcade, billiards area, and golf simulator. A stunning bar with backlit pink onyx serves as the centerpiece of this space.

The main level includes a separate recreation room for more casual gatherings, featuring a Galley Workstation and True Residential drink refrigerator and a 84" fireplace.

Outdoor living rivals a private resort, showcasing an infinity-edge pool, hot tub, and full-size basketball court. Two outdoor kitchen areas are equipped with dual grills, a pizza oven, and a flat-top grill—ideal for elevated entertaining. Additional features include a fenced dog run, invisible fence, and built-in holiday lighting.

A dedicated wellness wing offers a true spa experience with heated floors, massage room, steam room, dry sauna, indoor pool, and a fully equipped gym with cork flooring.

The gourmet kitchen is anchored by a La Cornue Château 60" range and features custom white oak cabinetry, premium integrated appliances, and a Galley Workstation. A fully equipped Scullery includes a True Residential refrigerator, while a dedicated coffee bar features a built-in Miele coffee machine.

The primary suite provides a private retreat with heated floors, spa-like finishes, and expansive dual closets. A separate guest house with one bedroom and one-and-a-half baths offers comfortable, private accommodations.

With unmatched scale, world-class amenities, and exceptional attention to detail, this estate stands among Charlotte’s most distinctive luxury properties.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.
