Firethorne.A private luxury golf community in Waxhaw & Marvin, NC
A private community of estate homes and championship golf, quietly tucked between mature hardwoods just south of Charlotte.
Approximately 1,200 estate homes gathered around a championship golf course, generations of oaks, and a country club that anchors the day.
Firethorne sits at the crossroads of Waxhaw and Marvin, in Union County, North Carolina — an easy drive to Uptown Charlotte, the Ballantyne corridor, and Charlotte-Douglas International. Behind its gates: a private championship course, tennis and pickleball, a resort-scale pool, a fitness center, member dining, and the calm rhythm of tree-lined streets that have grown into the landscape.

A community defined by four enduring qualities.
Championship Golf
A private, tree-lined championship course at the Country Club of the Carolinas — the heart of daily life in Firethorne.
Estate Homes
From gracious transitional estates to timeless brick-and-stone manors, Firethorne's homes are among the region's most enduring.
Interior Design
Whole-home design programs, custom furnishings, and quiet luxury interiors thoughtfully tailored to each family.
Smart Home Technology
Concealed audio, cinematic theaters, motorized shades, and secure networks — technology that disappears into the architecture.
The club is the anchor of daily life.
Championship golf. A resort-scale pool with a poolside grill. Har-Tru clay tennis and dedicated pickleball. A full fitness center with group programming. Member dining that carries a family from Saturday breakfast to a Friday-evening wine dinner.
Firethorne is a family-first community, and the club is engineered around that: junior golf clinics, swim team, summer camps, and holiday programming that anchors the calendar year after year.
