The Oaks.  An extraordinary gated estate on 88 beautiful acres with extensive manicured landscaping.  With two primary homes, multiple ancillary buildings, rolling open meadows and private forest, it defines itself with tranquility and privacy.  Just 15 minutes from downtown Salisbury and 45 minutes from Charlotte Airport, The Oaks is what you desire - whether a relaxing private compound or an income producing venture.  

Currently a private estate and wedding venue, The Oaks has incredible potential for equestrian facilities (whether private or professional), bed & breakfast or continue its track record as a successful wedding venue.  With 88 acres, new owner/developers are invited to consider establishing additional homesites.

Upon entering the grand gates, one traverses the newly paved main drive through the canopy of trees where a fork will direct you to individual private driveways: 7755 on the right and 7765 on the left.  Each home has it's own private drive and address.  Each home is completely private from the other.  Both are modern and gorgeous. Each home is unique from the other.
