Deerpond Plantation, a 7-bedroom, 16-acre estate and wedding venue, asks $1.49M

Deerpond Plantation, 7917 Hood Road, is a 16-acre wedding venue and 7-bedroom home in northeast Charlotte, near I-485.

Kristi Hand at Titan Realty has the listing.

Deerpond Plantation has served as a wedding venue.

Host to many weddings over the years, the special event portion of the property includes a 1,200-square-foot gazebo, a large pond, gardens, lots of tropical landscaping including palm trees, a 2,500-square-foot detached reception building, a gravel drive and lots of parking.

The owner ceased holding weddings there this month.

The house isn’t historic but was built in the style of plantation homes found in Louisiana.

With 7 bedrooms, 7 full baths and 2 half baths, it’s easy to imagine someone taking down the mortgage a notch by renting much of it out via Airbnb to wedding guests.

Or maybe a whole bunch of wedding and special events people could all live here together. There’d be inevitable roommate drama during the week, but everyone would have to put it aside to achieve special event joy on the weekends. I would watch that reality show.
