waking up each morning to the harmonic sounds of songbirds, babbling creeks and, the occasional gentle rains rustling the leaves...

and later in the day hearing perfectly chimed choruses of frogs and crickets in the woods or finding the unexpected tracks of deer and rabbit.

Imagine that this feeling of sheer serenity and tranquility could be the beginning of an inspiring lifestyle, yours, shared with family and friends, and nature.

Imagine...

A horse lover’s dream property rarely compromises on beauty, harmony and adaptability. Within Wildwood Estates, midst the abundance of mountain-resort type properties and their varied elevations, there are actually two properties ideally suited to becoming personal equestrian estates – Preserves 6 and 14.

Just beyond Wildwood Estate’s 60-foot landmark windmill, where Windmill Lane turns right, the densely woodland acreage of Preserve 6 begins. As its signature split-rail fencing travels along two sides of the property for approximately 1500 feet, the drive with its captivating serenity and beauty is inspiring, but at its destination main entrance, one is truly not prepared for the magnificent expanse of open, well-draining parkland beyond.

Preserve 6 is nearly 13 acres and with minimal clearing, the more open, lower six to seven acres, lined with significant shade trees, can be transformed into grazing pastures, barns, riding arenas and trails. For the non-equestrian, this open, gently sloping land becomes an exceptional opportunity to create sports and recreational areas, flower and vegetable gardens, parks or even the final home building site. Within the upper mountain-like elevations, Preserve 6 woodlands are richly populated with vintage hardwoods, including poplar, oak and birch, where the owner can create a multi-level home with exceptional views of the forest and the parkland or equestrian setting below. There is also a winding spring-fed creek, providing a natural buffer along the rear property line.

Imagine...

The pictorial drive along Pump Jack Way to a quiet cul-de-sac ultimately sets the stage for Wildwood Estates’ most secluded residential property, Preserve 9. This richly wooded property’s 500-foot private drive actually begins its journey at the property’s lowest elevation, traveling in view of its expansive fern-rich valley that becomes a protected buffer and parkland between adjacent preserves.

The private drive eventually crosses the preserve’s natural spring-fed creek that offers approximately 700 feet of creekside ownership and leads to the property’s highest elevation, uniquely private and reminiscent of luxury homesites characteristic of the Western North Carolina’s Blue Ridge mountains.

Preserve 9 at Wildwood Estates offering 10-plus acres, is considered a property of unequaled distinction with its rich inheritance of specimen hardwood trees, including native poplar, sweet gum, white oak, maple, sycamore, hickory and cottonwood. Depending upon the home’s final architectural design and floor plan, outdoor living amenities can be as simple or as luxurious as the desired lifestyle -- decks and patios, pools, spas, ponds and other water features, outdoor kitchens, gazebos, recreational annexes, shops, garages, even tree houses for kids.

Imagine...

Naturally bountiful, Preserve 10 off Wildwood Lane is unlike any other residential property at Wildwood Estates. From its 200-foot cul-de-sac entrance, this expansive, geo-graphically varied 12-plus acre property immediately creates the first and lasting impression of a rich inheritance, a sanctuary where one can live in peaceful harmony with the beauty of natural surroundings.

A long private passage into the Preserve is defined on the left by towering white Sycamore trees and to the right, a lush parkland valley, home to distinctive poplars, ferns and other ground cover.

For approximately 500 feet, the private drive continues beneath the vintage hardwood canopies – hickory, red oak, white oak, maple and beechnut. It follows the property’s distinctive

hillsides and gradually reaches a signature scenic bluff, that sits approximately 80 to 100 feet above the lower parklands.

From this highest point, homeowners have numerous building site choices and uncompromis-ing views to consider. The woodlands are more densely populated here, adding dogwoods, cottonwood and red cedar trees in the mix. Imagination would be the only limiting factor in designing the perfect home in Preserve 10. Approximately two-thirds of the summit is buildable and lends itself to adding outdoor amenities such as outdoor spa pools and ponds, gardens and trails, entertainment centers, outdoor cooking areas, pet havens and workshops.

Of interest on the property is a single overlook tree with the name “Hugo” hand-carved into its trunk -- a reminder of North Carolina history, when hurricane Hugo left its calling card in 1989 throughout the greater Charlotte area.

Imagine...

W hether the hardwood trees are in full canopy or turning brilliant crimson and gold during the fall, Windmill Lane is Wildwood Estate’s longest and most compelling drive along the community’s many residential preserves.

At the final destination of Windmill Lane is a small, cloistered cul-de-sac, where Wildwood Estates’ southernmost and most intriguing estate properties converge. The entrance into Preserve 11 actually begins at this near 11-acre property’s highest elevation. Its grand hardwood trees immediately create a dramatic framework for the mid-level hillside vistas and creek beyond.

Protected for generations, Preserve 11 has retained its rich inheritance of century old hardwoods – especially hickory, poplar and white oak. The winding spring-fed creek runs

through the core of the preserve and is surrounded by native ferns and ground cover. Hill-sides sloping down to the property’s eastern border create incredible views, reminiscent of resort areas of the Western North Carolina mountains. These natural lowlands in all their beauty become natural buffers between the adjacent properties.

Preserve 11 is considered Wildwood Estate’s most secluded sanctuary. Its variable terrain provides opportunity to create exceptional multi-level home designs as well as outdoor living amenities, from pools, gardens and water features to outdoor kitchens, entertainment centers and pet quarters.

There are similar land features shared with Preserve 13 bordering the property’s north side, but Preserve 11 has the distinction of home building site choices either side of the creek.

Imagine...

From the towering windmill at Davis Road, Windmill

Lane follows Wildwood Estate’s rustic split-rail fence line to the community’s furthermost point, a secluded cul-de-sac, where three distinctive private preserves command the community’s highest elevations.

As one enters Preserve 12, the graduated uphill terrain and dense foilage remind one of resort properties found in the rolling hills of the western North Carolina Piedmont area. There are 10-plus acres of undisturbed woodlands – a true back-to-nature experience for discovery and preservation. Yet this captivating property has a much grander sense of inheritance and purpose.

The panoramic landscape atop Preserve 12 is an architect’s inspiration to create a one-of-a-kind residential sanctuary,

where home and nature can be designed in harmony.

Midst the dramatic canopies of hardwoods – statuesque oaks, hickory and poplar – min-gled with evergreens and flowering dogwoods, the gradual sloping terrain either side of the property’s highpoint ridge can be adapted to miles of walking or cart trails, for wildlife habitat or simply left undisturbed.

Multi-level home designs and outdoor decks and patios can take advantage of the property’s magnificent sightlines through the trees and sloping hillsides. Additional outdoor living areas can shelter the best of homestead amenities, including pools and spas, gardens and decks, playhouses and tree houses, pet havens and sports centers.

Imagine...

A t the cul-de-sac culmination of Windmill Lane is Preserve 13, one of Wildwood Estates most treasured and unique residential properties. Initially defined by its 1,000 feet of road frontage and split-rail fencing, the property further celebrates arrival with its grand tree-canopied entrance at the property’s highest elevation point.

Just a short distance from the main entrance, the private drive connects you to several ideal home sites, each offering dramatic views through the dense woodlands of hardwood trees, comprised of white oak, maple, hickory and poplar, down to picturesque lowlands, richly popu-lated with lush ferns, river birch and cottonwoods. These lowlands are essentially preserved parklands that buffer the adjacent properties.

Throughout its 10-plus acres, Preserve 13 also features a natural spring-fed creek that meanders through the property, with approximately 800 feet of creek enjoyed from both sides. An underground spring also allows the creation of ponds and other water features, which can be added along the road frontage sections.

Preserve 13 at Wildwood Estates is considered an architect’s dream project, where a one-of-a-kind design can ensure a sanctuary lifestyle for its owners. The graduated terrain lends itself to spacious, multi-level interiors and exteriors, with a basement option, expansive decks with tree-top views, patios, natural gardens and ponds, outdoor spas and cooking/entertainment areas.

PRESERVE 13




Imagine...

The split-rail fencing along Windmill Lane defines the long road frontage for Preserve 14 , whose cul-de-sac offers a grand tree-canopied entrance to this 10-plus acre property. Considered one of Wildwood Estates most intriguing, and flexible, the property historically once supported cotton farming and proudly showcases a small landmark cotton barn along the fenceline.

Preserve 14 with its varied terrain is not only an architect’s dream project, but an horse lover’s rare find.

The property’s private drive crosses a large spring-fed creek that also defines approximately 400 feet of the prop-erty’s scenic Northeast border. The drive then gradually climbs to a higher elevation, finding a scenic bluff with a grand overlook to the lower parklands, heavily

populated with large signature oaks, maples, cottonwoods, hickory and birch trees.

Atop Preserve 14’s overlook are several homesite choices, ideal for the simplest or most innovative of multi-level custom home designs. Only limited by imagination, the outdoor living amenities can also include in-ground pools and spas, ponds, decks and patios, gardens and greenhouses, even pet havens and tree houses.

For the equestrian-minded owner, behind the higher-elevation homesite are approximately seven acres in small caliper pine trees that can be cleared and fenced for grazing pastures, barns, outbuildings and riding areas. If horses are not part of the lifestyle, then these areas could remain wooded or cleared to create small gardens and recreational areas.
