Chatelaine

An intimate enclave of European-styled estates on wooded acreage.

MarvinApprox. 80 homes1 – 3 acres

Chatelaine is small by design. Eighty estates spread across heavily wooded acreage off New Town Road, each one approved through one of the strictest architectural review committees in the region. Streets curve to preserve specimen oaks; rooflines stagger so no two homes face each other directly.

Chatelaine is for those who want quiet — old families, retired executives, surgeons who keep odd hours. It is a community that, by its own design, asks you to slow down.

Chatelaine is searched most often by people who have driven past its approach and want to know what it is: a low-density estate enclave on the Waxhaw–Mineral Springs edge where lot sizes and setbacks, not amenities, define the product. There is no resort clubhouse here, and that is the point — the value proposition is land, quiet and long sightlines.

Because the neighborhood sits near the boundary between attendance areas and near the transition from town water and sewer to well and septic on some parcels, two checks matter more here than in a typical subdivision: confirm school assignment for the exact address with Union County Public Schools, and confirm utility service, septic permitting and any well records for the specific lot.
