Skyecroft
A Gated Enclave of European-Inspired Estates in Waxhaw
Skyecroft is a gated enclave of European-inspired custom estates tucked off Providence Road in the Waxhaw and Weddington area of Union County. Homes here sit on generous, wooded lots, most a half-acre to over an acre, built out gradually since the mid-2000s by a small roster of custom builders including Simonini, Arcadia Homes, Conger Builders, New Tradition Homes, and Dwight Hunter Custom Homes. The result is a neighborhood of large, architecturally detailed homes rather than a single production-builder look, with a castle-style guardhouse marking the gated entrance on Skyecroft Way.
Inside the gates, lantern-lit streets wind past a lake and several ponds with fountains, and a resort-style clubhouse anchors community life with a junior Olympic pool, lighted tennis courts, and pickleball. Residents describe it as a socially active, close-knit community despite the scale of the homes, helped along by walking trails, six pocket parks, and more than 40 acres of green space woven through the development. It's a quiet, private retreat that's still only a short drive from Charlotte's outer loop.
