| Horse Property Description |
Historic Country Estate.
Keep two horses on your own property in upscale
south Charlotte! No need to drive to a distant
boarding barn because you will actually be in
Charlotte, situated near I-485 and Providence
Road, in desirable south Charlotte near
Ballentyne, and 3 minutes from the best schools,
fine dining and shopping, with quick, easy access
to the uptown business district, Charlotte
Douglas International Airport (CLT) and major
highways to horse shows.
This breathtaking 5.45 acre property, with nearly
700 feet of road frontage, is surrounded by trees
on every side, insuring privacy. Majestic old oak
trees and over 170 azaleas greet you as you drive
in. Magnificent landscaping and multiple formal
gardens provide a tranquil setting and offer a
retreat from the pressures of modern life.
This exquisite antebellum plantation, located at
3503 Tilley Morris Road, was built ca.1840 by
James E. Hennigan, a prominent Mecklenburg County
planter and local politician. The vernacular
Upcountry Transitional Federal/Greek Revival home
has been painstakingly restored and maintained to
its former glory. It is a Mecklenburg County
Historic Site, thus receiving a 50 per cent
property tax deferment.
Hennigan Place is highly original, as it had
never been modified, heated, wired or plumbed
prior to the current owners acquiring it 38 years
ago.
The interior features high ceilings, heart pine
floors, beautiful plaster and hand made moldings,
providing a wonderful backdrop for any style of
furniture. It features a spacious Living Room
with fireplace, gorgeous Dining Room with
fireplace, large Country Kitchen, and 3 bedrooms
(Master has fireplace!) and 2 ½ baths in the 2205
square feet 2-story house. All 3 fireplaces work
well. The 2 new heat pumps were installed in
2005. The house is well insulated throughout and
was brought up to code at restoration and
qualified for Duke Energy’s then “Energy
Efficiency” Rating. If desired, the design lends
itself to adding an “El” behind off the kitchen
for a 4th downstairs Master Bedroom/Bath.
This historic equestrian property is zoned and
deeded for 2 horses and has a 2-stall barn with a
beautiful paneled tack room and an overhead loft
which will hold over 100 bales of hay or straw.
An automatic insect spray system is featured.
Several water hydrants are scattered throughout
the property and the equestrian facilities.
Stall floors are Equi-terr tiled with excellent
drainage. The breezeway is concrete with a
sloping wash area at the rear. A hand-split
locust “snake” fence topped with electric wire
surrounds approximately 2 ½ acres, which includes
over 2 acres of lush pasture plus woods with some
trails. The gates are hung from two 12” x 12”
posts, providing a 16 feet wide entryway. The
pasture has had horses of all sizes throughout
the years, and been utilized for a dressage
arena,
a jump course, and for carriage driving
obstacles.
A particular feature is a pull-through concrete
trailer parking pad beside the barn, which is
screened by a lattice partition.
A 2-story Carriage House/Garage/Shop with heat
and air conditioning is fully insulated and
paneled. One end features a 6” wall and
through-slab
conduit for future addition of plumbing, should
the upstairs be converted to living quarters.
Currently the structure contains a complete shop
and houses the owners carriages. A lovely Well
House/Potting Shed is convenient to the Formal
Gardens behind the house. This property offers
the beauty of the Old South with all the
amenities of the New South and is totally unique
in the Greater Charlotte Area.
