country, privacy... (Charlotte, Waxhaw, Bath: for sale, rentals, condo)

[KThomas]

are there outlying areas around Charlotte where it is possible to purchase a home on a more private lot, perhaps wooded lot, or where privacy fences are permitted. I just keep seeing these beautiful homes online, and then you get to the 'outdoor' shot and all you see is the backs of everyone else's home.

also, is it any cheaper to live more out 'in the country' in the charlotte area?

thx bunches!

Yes, there are many places to find what you are looking for. We have that.

It all depends on what your price range is as to where to start looking. Waxhaw seems to be a good place to go.

I would also get a realtor and explain what you are looking for so he/she can send you better listings.

When you go to a website like allentate.com, fill in the section where it asks for acreage and put in whatever you are looking for and you will eliminate the "shared backyard" areas you want to avoid.
