Foxcroft Custom Home Builder
For nearly a decade, Peters Custom Homes has crafted architecturally significant estates throughout Foxcroft — Charlotte's most secluded and coveted luxury neighborhood, where 1–5 acre lots, mature hardwood canopies, and unmatched privacy define estate living.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Charlotte's Ultimate Private Estate Community
Foxcroft is one of Charlotte's oldest and most exclusive residential neighborhoods, established in the mid-20th century as a retreat for families seeking privacy, space, and proximity to the prestigious Quail Hollow Club. Unlike the walkable streetscapes of Myers Park, Foxcroft offers seclusion — winding, tree-lined roads with no through-traffic, estate-sized lots, and a density so low it feels rural despite being minutes from SouthPark.
Today, Foxcroft commands some of the highest land values in the Carolinas, with lots regularly trading between $800,000 and $3 million+. The neighborhood's strict architectural covenants and generous setbacks ensure every home sits as a private estate, surrounded by mature oaks, dogwoods, and meticulously maintained grounds.
Peters Custom Homes has been building and renovating in Foxcroft since 2016, earning the trust of discerning homeowners who understand that building in this neighborhood requires a builder who respects both the land and the legacy of the community.

HOW A FOXCROFT INQUIRY BECOMES A RESIDENCE
The path from a Foxcroft address to a finished Peters home
Most Foxcroft conversations begin with a single question — what should be built here, and what shouldn't. Whether the answer is a generational seat designed under The Peters Legacy or a private custom home shaped to your family, the work begins long before drawings — with a careful read of the lot, the neighborhood fabric, and the life you intend to live inside it.
From there, every Foxcroft project we accept moves through The Peters Method — our five-step arc from vision to completion — guided by the design language outlined in our Architectural Vision. For owners who prefer to think slowly, our Private Client Advisory quietly shepherds homesite evaluation, architect selection, and pre-construction stewardship months before a shovel meets the ground.
When the conversation turns to investment, the cost calculator gives a directional read on what a residence in Foxcroft should cost to build well, while the Charlotte Custom Home Building Guide and our neighborhood comparison place Foxcroft in context against Charlotte's other elite enclaves — so the decision is made with clarity, not pressure.

CASE STUDIES
Residences behind the Foxcroft conversation
Each study below documents an actual Peters residence — its architecture, its materials, and the decisions that shaped it. Read them to understand how a Foxcroft project would be planned and executed.
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA · MODERN ESTATE
Winged Bourne
Winged Bourne is a bold modern estate that marries dramatic architectural gestures — cascading crystal chandeliers, a sculptural spiral staircase, and soaring double-height volumes — with a refined material palette of dark hardwoods, polished stone, and blackened metal. The residence is designed for entertainment at scale, with a resort-level rear elevation featuring pool, sport court, and arched loggias illuminated at twilight.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA · TRANSITIONAL ESTATE
Highland Forest
Highland Forest stands as a remarkable private estate set within approximately three wooded acres in Charlotte—an extraordinary residence envisioned as both an elevated family retreat and a defining expression of architectural scale, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. Constructed by Peters Custom Homes with interior design leadership from Emerald & Oak Design Studio, the estate was conceived as a contemporary residence of rare experiential richness: refined, dramatic, and deeply personal. From the earliest design conversations, the vision for Highland Forest extended far beyond that of a traditional luxury home. The intention was to create a residence capable of delivering both intimate everyday living and grand, memorable experiences. Each space was carefully composed to feel purposeful, immersive, and visually compelling—from expansive entertaining environments and curated architectural moments to spa-inspired wellness amenities, recreational spaces designed for gathering, and outdoor living areas that unfold seamlessly across the wooded landscape. The result is a home where architecture, craftsmanship, and lifestyle converge. Throughout the residence, carefully selected materials, refined proportions, and layered design elements create a sense of cohesion and quiet sophistication. Highland Forest ultimately represents a home designed not simply to impress, but to enrich the lives of those who inhabit it—an estate where every environment tells part of a larger architectural story.
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA · GOLF COURSE ESTATE
S Baltusrol
Baltusrol is a distinguished golf-course estate set within Charlotte's renowned Quail Hollow community, where mature landscapes, winding fairways, and tranquil water features define one of the city's most established residential settings. Positioned on a beautifully proportioned 1.09-acre homesite, the residence enjoys sweeping views across the course and surrounding greenspace while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and quiet refinement. Originally constructed in 2005, the home underwent a comprehensive to-the-studs renovation completed by Peters Custom Homes in 2021, transforming the property into a fully modernized luxury residence while preserving the scale and architectural presence that define estate living. Every major system, finish, and living space was reconsidered during the renovation, resulting in a residence that feels both timeless and completely renewed. Spanning 7,995 square feet, Baltusrol is thoughtfully composed to support both everyday family life and elegant entertaining. The home offers five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, with a sequence of gracious living spaces that unfold from the moment of arrival. From the dramatic marble foyer and sweeping architectural staircase to the expansive kitchen and outdoor entertaining terraces, the residence balances grandeur with warmth, creating an environment that feels equally suited to quiet mornings or large gatherings of family and friends. Large windows and carefully positioned living spaces frame views of the golf course and water beyond, allowing the landscape to become an integral part of the home's daily experience. The result is a residence that feels deeply connected to its surroundings while maintaining the comfort, privacy, and polish expected of a premier Charlotte estate.
