Estate with horse barn, saltwater pool and indoor arena lists for $9.95M near south Charlotte

This Western chic ranch, which sits on 63 acres in Monroe, is listed for $9,950,000.

Why it matters: According to property records, the residence belongs to Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of the Ethereum cryptocurrency.

Hoskinson is also the founder of the public blockchain platform Cardano, and its cryptocurrency, ADA, which President Trump recently announced would be a part of a cryptocurrency reserve.

Between the lines: This is not the primary residence for Hoskinson, a Wyoming resident.

Originally built in 2022, the home's architecture resembles houses in Denver, eXp Realty listing agent Bill Wagenseller tells Axios.

"This is for a buyer that desires privacy and tranquility. You don't hear any trains, fire trucks. It's so peaceful," Wagenseller said.

Layout: At 7,439 square feet, the house has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and three half baths.

The open-concept home features a chef's kitchen with a copper farmhouse sink, sliding wood barn doors, stone fireplaces, large walk-in closets, a man cave with a wet bar and a pet washing station.
The property also has a 2,000-square-foot guest house with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a full kitchen.

Features: The fully fenced and gated property has plenty of additional spaces to unwind, including a saltwater pool, hot tub and large fire pit.

The main suite has direct access to the pool house with an outdoor shower and an indoor bathroom.

Bonus: The private family compound also comes with an equestrian center that includes a 20-stall horse barn with a caretaker apartment.

Plus, there is a 20,000-square-foot indoor arena and outdoor paddocks surrounding a pond with a fountain.
"If you're not into horses, you can make the arena into anything. The indoor arena could be used as a basketball court, pickleball court or football training facility," Wagenseller said.
