A Private Ranch in Matthews Under $380K — Is This the One?

If you've been searching for a home that feels tucked away from the world but is still close to everything, 325 Enchanted Drive in Matthews might be worth a serious look.

Listed at $379,000, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch sits on 0.31 acres in the Enchanted Forest neighborhood. At 1,889 square feet, it's all on one level — no stairs, no second floor to worry about. For a first-time buyer, that simplicity is a feature in itself.

What's the situation?

This is an estate sale, which means the purchase is subject to court approval and a 10-day upset bid period. That sounds intimidating, but it's a fairly routine process in NC. It does mean you need to be patient and have your financing in order. The good news: it accepts cash, conventional, FHA, and VA loans.

What you get:

The home was built in 1997 and has just been freshly painted with new carpet throughout. The flooring is a mix of hardwoods and carpet. The kitchen is a good size with an island, and all appliances stay — including the washer and dryer, which is a real bonus when you're already stretching a budget.

Outside, there's a two-tiered deck that backs up to trees, a fenced backyard with privacy fencing, and a storage shed. The driveway is circular gravel, which gives the property a bit of character. No HOA, no dues — none.

For a first-time buyer who wants space, privacy, and a move-in ready home in Union County without blowing past $400K, this checks a lot of boxes.

School district is Indian Trail Elementary, Sun Valley Middle and High.
