LUXURY MAIN-CHANNEL LAKE HICKORY WATERFRONT HOME—NO CITY TAXES! Experience exceptional waterfront living from this distinctive custom home situated on nearly two private acres with approximately 285 feet of main-channel shoreline. Located outside the Hickory city limits yet only minutes from town, the property combines expansive lake views, mature landscaping, exceptional privacy, and extraordinary outdoor living.
The waterfront infrastructure is one of the property’s most impressive features. Positioned in deep water along Lake Hickory’s main channel, the substantial two-level private dock provides dependable boating access during normal lake-level fluctuations. The dock features all-aluminum construction supported by galvanized-steel posts, offering exceptional durability and reduced maintenance compared with conventional wood-framed docks.
A 15,000-pound hydraulic platform boat lift with a Trex-finished platform allows the owner to lower the boat and conveniently get underway directly from the property. The dock’s second level provides additional space for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying unobstructed lake views. Quality construction continues throughout the home’s exterior with HardiePlank fiber-cement siding, traditional hard-coat stucco, Ipe hardwood decking, wrought-iron railings, extensive retaining walls, elevated mechanical equipment, and a commercial-style rainwater management and drainage system designed to direct stormwater throughout the property.
The home was designed for comfortable one-level everyday living and entertaining. The main floor brings the kitchen, dining area, and great room together around the lake views and includes a spacious primary suite with a large walk-in closet (with stackable washer/dryer) and a beautifully appointed bath. Vaulted and beamed ceilings, Brazilian cherry and other hardwood flooring, extensive custom cabinetry, and detailed millwork reflect the craftsmanship found throughout the residence. A private upper-level guest bedroom/office with a half bath provides comfortable accommodations for family and visitors. The lower level expands the home’s entertaining and specialty spaces with an additional bedroom suite, a dedicated home theater professionally designed and installed by Audio Advice of Charlotte, a climate-controlled wine room, a dedicated hobby and gift-wrapping room, built-ins, additional laundry connections, a dog-washing station, and a separate climate-controlled secure storage room. An ERV fresh-air ventilation system further reflects the attention given to the home’s mechanical systems and indoor comfort. Outdoor living includes covered decks and patios, an outdoor kitchen, a wood-burning fireplace, expansive lawn and gathering areas, and a natural connection between the home, shoreline, and dock. The spacious private grounds provide abundant room for pets to enjoy the outdoors, while the lower-level dog-washing station makes the home especially accommodating for pet owners. Whether enjoying morning coffee overlooking the lake, entertaining beside the outdoor fireplace, allowing pets to enjoy the expansive grounds, or leaving the deep-water dock for a day of boating, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to experience the Lake Hickory lifestyle every day!
