Garage
This is the property for buyers who need serious space—inside and out. Set on roughly 1.53 acres, 752 Sam Brown Rd pairs a thoughtfully expanded and comfortable 2,884 SF home with extraordinary automotive and workshop infrastructure. You’ll appreciate the full-length porch and circular drive on arrival, but the real story is the garage and shop setup: an insulated three-bay attached garage plus a separate three-bay, climate-controlled workshop that includes an air compressor, half bath, and a commercial-grade 25,000 lb vehicle lift—perfect for car restorers, fabricators, contractors, or anyone with large projects.
Indoors the floorplan is practical and expanded: four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including an owner’s suite addition that reads like its own wing—double walk-in closets, a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, and direct entry into a roomy laundry with sink. Two additional room additions expand the living footprint and provide flexible spaces for office, exercise, or hobby rooms. The finishes are comfortable and neutral, ready for the new owner to personalize.
Outside offers multiple concrete covered parking pads, ample room to stage an RV, boat, or trailers, and mature trees including a pecan that gives the site character. The detached workshop is a standout asset: insulated and heated/cooled, plumbed with a half bath, and outfitted for heavy lifts and compressed-air tools—this is a turnkey production space that would otherwise cost tens of thousands to replicate.
Location is rural-residential but very convenient—there are no HOA fees and the listing notes “no city taxes,” and the property is just a short drive to Lake Wylie public boat launches and recreation. Whether you want a homeowner’s compound with room for toys and business, or a specialized property that supports a trade or hobby, this home delivers a rare combination of acreage, living space, and workshop capability. Schedule your showing—this type of property moves quickly.
South Gastonia near Lake Wylie is a mix of larger-lot residences, hobby farms, and low-density subdivisions. Residents value outdoor access—particularly boating and fishing—and the area offers a quieter pace while remaining within an easy drive of Gastonia’s retail centers and the Charlotte employment market. Expect a blend of longtime owners and newer buyers seeking space for RVs, boats, and workshops.
South Gastonia (zip 28056) sits on the edge of the Charlotte metro but retains a greener, lower-density character that appeals to buyers seeking more outdoor and parking space. Median single-family prices in the broader area are roughly in the low-to-mid $300Ks; properties with large detached shops or acreage command a noticeable premium. Inventory in the Gastonia submarket has trended toward balanced—roughly 2–3 months of supply—so well-priced, specialty properties like this typically attract both owner-occupant hobbyists and small-business buyers. The current list price of $385,000 is competitive for a 2,884 SF home with turnkey workshop improvements; buyers should expect reasonable activity within the first few weeks if marketed to niche channels (auto groups, contractor networks, and lake-access buyers).
