Ballantyne

The affluent Charlotte neighborhood of Ballantyne combines suburban curb appeal with metropolitan access amenities across a 2,000-acre tract of land running along the South Carolina border.

 

Ballantyne’s attractive streets and refined air are the product of careful planning over two decades of steady growth and development. Originally a hunting reserve until the 1990s, much of Ballantyne’s development since then has been steered by the Ballantyne Corporate Park, resulting in one of the nation’s finest master-planned communities.

 

The Ballantyne Hotel and 610-acre Ballantyne Country Club are symbolic of this community’s prestige and refinement. The neighborhood is also home to upscale retail complexes, with plentiful dining options.

 

Another prominent symbol of Ballantyne’s growth and development is the four 30-foot monuments located at the intersection of Ballantyne Commons and Johnston Road. Created by Yugoslavian artist Boris Tomic, the four monuments represent finance, transportation, technology, and humanity.

 

These four qualities can be found everywhere within this beautifully-landscaped community. Ballantyne’s outstanding South Charlotte location and proximity to Interstate 485 place a wide array of shops, restaurants, and other conveniences within easy reach, while Uptown Charlotte is a mere 15-minute drive away.

 

Housing options within Ballantyne range from modern apartments and townhomes to extravagant multi-million dollar estates representing the finest in contemporary luxury real estate.

 

Some of Ballantyne’s most sought-after properties can be found within the revered setting of Ballantyne Country Club, among other gated communities. These lavish homes occupy lots extending to as much as 5 acres in size, with incredibly curated grounds including swimming pools, cabanas, and guest houses. Each of these homes boasts its own distinctive architectural style, including grand Mediterranean-style villas.

 

Expect the very best in fixtures, fittings, and amenities, with attention lavished on every detail both inside and outside the home. These attractive homes have been used as filming locations for films and television series, including a season of reality TV show The Bachelorette being filmed at a Ballantyne mansion.

 

Ballantyne is perfectly situated for accessing all manner of metropolitan and rural attractions. Residents enjoy excellent shopping, outstanding restaurants, five golf courses, endless walking and biking trails, and luxurious spa treatments at the Ballantyne Resort, all within a short distance of their homes.

 

Exceptional restaurants within the neighborhood include 131 Main situated in Blakeney and Zeutouni Meditterranean Grill. 

 

There are a variety of unique shops within the community, including charming antique stores and other specialty shops catering to various niches.

 

The Ballantyne Hotel offers a rarefied selection of upscale spa treatments and recreational facilities. There are more than 100 different spa treatments on offer here, as well as the chance to enjoy high tea or a champagne toast. Dining options include progressive Southern twists on contemporary American cuisine, while there’s also a bar offering an incredibly extensive whiskey selection.
