Pharr Family Farm, Charlotte, NC
Jones and Polly Pharr Conservation Easement
The Pharr Family Preserve

564+/- Acres

The Pharr Family Farm is 11 miles East of Charlotte’s I-485 just off the 4 lane Albemarle Road on Rocky River and immediately across from the Reed Gold Mine State Historic Park. Owned and offered by the Pharr Family Limited Partnership, this farm has been cared for by the Jones Pharr family for over 50 years.

Over 500 ac. of very mature and mainly hardwood forest compliment the 125+/- ac. of gently rolling pastures. The Rocky River creates a 8500+/- foot natural boundary and the property has a 6+/- main lake with a half dozen smaller ponds. The main house is an antique brick ranch style country home (3 BR/3BA) on the edge of the big lake with a 2BR/1BA guest house of the same style nearby. Two rental farm homes, a main barn, and large hay barn complete the current building. A nearby 1/2 mile paved driveway runs from Mt. Pleasant Rd. S. to the main house. The deer and turkey hunting on this unique tract are outstanding!

The Pharr Family and the Catawba Land Conservancy closed a successful sale (66 +/- acres of river buffer)and a 348 acre permanent protective easement with retained development rights on 07/25/2011. The Pharr Farm now has a main house and guest home on the big lake with 12 acres of unrestricted property in the middle of 348 acres of protected area. An adjoining 204-acre wooded roadfront tract with no restrictions is also available in total or separate with its own easement option.The 66-acre river buffer will be a future section of the Carolina Thread Trail with a trailhead and access by a separate entrance off Mt. Pleasant Rd. A number of unique opportunities now exist for the investor who appreciates the “forever nature” of a protected natural environment 25 minutes from downtown Charlotte.
