The Community
Acreage lots, equestrian facilities, and custom Southern homes minutes from The Point.
History
Carved from a working horse farm on the western edge of Mooresville in the early 2000s, The Farms preserved its agricultural bones — white four-board fencing, rolling pastures, and a working equestrian center — and layered in a custom-home community of two- to five-acre estate parcels. The result is one of the few Lake Norman communities where you can keep horses on your property without leaving school district boundaries.
Lifestyle
Mornings start at the barn or on the riding trail, school runs route through downtown Mooresville, and weekends are a mix of horse shows, country-club golf two miles east at The Point, and Sunday lunch on the lake. The cadence is unmistakably country — generous land, mature pastureland, and a culture organized around horses, dogs, and acreage.
Architecture
Custom Southern farmhouses, low-country traditionals, and a handful of refined transitional homes — typically 4,500 to 8,000 sq ft on two to five acres, several with private stables, riding rings, and run-in sheds.
