Teneriffe is one of Hendersonville's notable historic estates, where architectural provenance, expansive grounds and remarkable versatility come together.

THE RANCH AT FAIRES RD: A Modern Equestrian Estate. Set quietly beyond the pace of Charlotte, this 26+ acre modern ranch estate offers a rare expression of architectural intention and landscape harmony. Conceived by Frank Smith after years of immersive study in contemporary design, and brought to life with interiors by Barrie Benson and craftsmanship by Kingswood Custom Homes, the home is both a personal retreat and is considered a work of modern architecture. The approach is deliberate—a sweeping motorcourt, anchored by a sculptural fountain, sets a tone of understated grandeur. Inside, the residence unfolds through volumes of glass and stone, where light becomes a defining material. Floor-to-ceiling storefront windows and pivoting glass doors dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape, opening to a composition of water, sky, and rolling acreage. At the heart of the home, materials are both tactile and restrained—wide-plank black walnut floors, flamed leathered granite, and precision-crafted cabinetry that reveals itself at the touch. A curated Miele kitchen suite balances performance with quiet elegance, designed as much for gathering as for function. The primary suite is conceived as a private pavilion, complete with a steam shower and an intimate outdoor bathing terrace—an experience that invites stillness and connection to the surrounding landscape. Beyond the walls, the estate unfolds as an immersive environment. A heated saltwater pool with integrated current system allows for both leisure and training, while a private pond—stocked for bass and brim fishing—reflects the changing light of day. A driving range introduces a refined recreational element, complemented by expansive acreage suited for skeet shooting, four-wheeling, and dirt biking along established trails. Thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, the property offers a dynamic outdoor lifestyle—equally suited for quiet moments in nature and more active pursuits across the land. The equestrian component is equally considered, designed to resonate with discerning equestrians and those drawn to a refined rural lifestyle. A well-appointed barn serves as both a functional working stable and a natural extension of the estate, offering four stalls, a dedicated tack room and lofted hay storage for efficient daily operation. A covered equipment shed provides seamless access to vehicle storage and groundskeeping implements, supporting the stewardship of the land. The surrounding acreage lends itself naturally to multiple fenced pastures and paddocks, allowing for thoughtful rotation, while rolling terrain and open sightlines create an ideal setting for private riding trails—suited for both leisurely rides and more focused training within the privacy of the estate. Enhancing the experience, the barn also incorporates a gym, half bath and a thoughtfully appointed kitchen and outdoor lounge space with fire pit, allowing for an effortless transition between training, care, and relaxation. Integrated technology—via a Savant whole-home system—operates discreetly in the background, orchestrating lighting and climate with precision. A Generac generator, underground propane reserves, and whole-home water filtration reinforce a sense of self-sufficiency. Additional adjacent parcels are being offered. A 33.88-acre tract (MLS#4410822) is available with an additional guest house, offered as-is. Expansion to the southeast is also possible with a wooded 9.27-acres (MLS#4410815), making for a total possible 69.58-acre compound. Located within convenient reach of Charlotte, yet intentionally removed from its immediacy, this estate offers a compelling duality: accessibility and escape. It is a place defined not only by its design, but by the experience it creates—quiet, expansive, and enduring.

Where high-design industrialism meets a world-class botanical sanctuary, you'll find this Fairview masterpiece. Conceived by the visionary founders of the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, this estate is more than a home, it is a 1.89-acre pollinator paradise and a triumph of Modern Industrial Timberpeg architecture, a symphony of steel, glass and timber. Guided by a passion for light and natural geometry, the creators utilized sustainably harvested Douglas Fir timbers and soaring glass to blur the line between interior and the wild. The 3,512-square-foot residence pulses with artisanal energy such as exotic zebra wood cabinetry, walnut wainscoting and hand-forged lighting from Hubbardton Forge and Sonneman. From the chef's kitchen with Fisher & Paykel appliances to the 19th-century German hunting lodge library hutch, every inch reflects a life dedicated to curated beauty. The living landscape is true to the owners' legacy and the grounds are a masterclass in eco-stewardship. This isn't just a garden, it's a thriving ecosystem. Two buried 5,000-gallon cisterns harvest rainwater to sustain lush perennial beds designed to explode with seasonal color. A climate-controlled timber-frame greenhouse allows for year-round cultivation, while a tranquil waterfall and rockwork set a meditative tone. Even the workspace is inspired, a reimagined metal silo serves as a private office, clad in poplar and walnut. Resort living from home is the theme the creators manifested to create a perfected indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The primary suite dissolves into a pool terrace featuring a water feature, hot tub, and gas fire bowls surrounding the pool and anchored by an oversized gas fire pit. Host beneath a chandelier outdoor dining pavilion or the kitchen terrace, complete with a wood-fired pizza oven and professional-grade outdoor appliances. Guests will find sanctuary in the NY-style ADU perched above the three-bay garage, offering a sleek, modern loft experience with its full kitchen and artisan concrete finishes.
