Home of the Castle

The 11,000-square-foot French-country residence on the water that Charlotte Place magazine called “The Castle” is a McSpadden home, designed with Christopher Phelps. It sits in Woodland Bay, the gated community on Belmont’s South Point peninsula across South New Hope Road from Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden: about sixty wooded homesites of three-quarters of an acre to five acres, many with main-channel Lake Wylie frontage and private docks. We have built here since the community’s first years, on Woodland Bay Drive, Lakeside Point Drive and Rocky View Court.

Building in Woodland Bay

Woodland Bay’s Architectural Review Board approves every plan, the lots are large and wooded, and many of the best homesites fall steeply to the water. That means foundations stepped to the slope, walkout lower levels, drives that follow the grade, and Duke Energy shoreline permitting for the dock. We price that site work while the design is still on paper, so a steep lot is a known cost rather than a change order.

Questions we hear from Woodland Bay lot owners

Short answers. For anything else, walk your lot with us and ask in person.

Has McSpadden Homes built in Woodland Bay before?

Yes, since the community’s first years, on Woodland Bay Drive, Lakeside Point Drive and Rocky View Court. The 11,000-square-foot French-country residence on the water that Charlotte Place magazine called “The Castle” is a McSpadden home, designed with Christopher Phelps.

What does a steep Woodland Bay lot mean for cost?

Many of the best homesites fall steeply to the water, which usually means a foundation stepped to the slope, a walkout lower level and a drive that follows the grade. We price that site work while the design is still moving, so the itemized budget you see before a construction contract already includes it. Our homes typically run from $1.5 million to $5 million.

Who approves the plan and the dock?

Woodland Bay’s Architectural Review Board approves every plan, and a dock on Lake Wylie frontage needs Duke Energy shoreline permitting. Both are built into our Project Development schedule from the start.
