“During my very first field excursion to Summerwood, then simply an old farm and woodlands, I was very impressed with the abundant natural features of the land. Observations in my notebook included the magnificent woodlands covered with thousands of hardwoods to the sentinel, lone oak tree..which I would estimate to be over 150 years old, standing in the rising meadow. Then, there were the gently rolling hillsides leading to the spectacular vistas of a serene country pond framed by a backdrop of oaks and hickories leading down to a scenic stone-bottomed brook. With such features, nature itself created a land plan that begs to be called “home”. ~Land Planner Sam Williams

Enter a world of days past, with the serenity of an untouched landscape…. the shade of mature hardwoods, the beckoning stone-bottomed Clear Creek. Preserving this is so important that over 125 acres have been designated for common lands. Introducing the first conservation district for Mint Hill, North Carolina: The Summerwood. In addition to the full 36% of protected wetlands and stream beds, gently rolling hillsides, and towering hardwoods, beautiful homes complement this picturesque environment.

Each of Summerwood’s four unique neighborhoods will remain abundant with magnificent woodlands and natural areas. Edged with conservation areas and meandering stream beds, The Elms at Summerwood consists of 49 exclusive homesites, with sculpted 105 foot frontage granting each home an intimate setting. Shea Homes will construct their most recent Prestige series, at a premium level of design, craftsmanship, and elaborate detailing. Homes at Summerwood range from 2,636 to 4,935 square feet. At The Elms, each homes will feature four sides of brick, side garages, and crawl space foundations.

The Summerwood’s 18-acre amenity area is crowned with a grand clubhouse, overlooking the pristine waters of the lake. Here, water sports will abound: canoeing, kayaking, fishing. The sports complex is state-of-the-art, including tennis courts and a Junior Olympic pool with water slide. Rustic trails and nature paths wind throughout the property.

The Summerwood’s Mint Hill locale is an ideal one, within Mecklenburg County, just on the outskirts of Charlotte. Right off of Interstate 485, the convenience of nearby shopping centers meet everyday needs, and the dining, shopping, and entertainment of Concord Mills is a quick ride up the beltline. First settled in 1750, Mint Hill has retained a small-town ambience. The area remains primarily residential, but each year more and more businesses move in as they discover the great potential of the area. Mint Hill education is highly desirable, with three excellent elementary schools, two middle schools, three high schools, and the Queens Grant Charter School. There are also quite a few churches, recreational facilities, and more amenities. The Summerwood brings South Charlotte a fresh new approach to real estate. Come experience life in these new homes for yourself.
