A RARE LAKE HICKORY GEM—Privately nestled on 1.84 acres across two parcels, this one-of-a-kind waterfront retreat offers the extraordinary combination lake buyers dream of: an exceptionally level lot, an effortless walk to the water, and breathtaking main-channel views.
From the moment you step inside, the open foyer and impressive picture windows draw your attention straight to the lake. Expansive water views continue throughout the generous main-level floor plan, filling the home with natural light and providing an unforgettable backdrop for everyday living, entertaining, and hosting overnight guests. Built in 1941 and offering more than 5,000 square feet, the home is rich with character, remarkable space, and exceptional potential. Ready for your vision and personal updates, it presents a rare opportunity to create a truly spectacular waterfront residence tailored to your lifestyle.
Outdoors, an expansive lakeside patio invites you to gather, grill, dine, and entertain while taking in the surrounding beauty. Peacefully tucked within a quiet cove yet opening to sweeping main-channel views, the property offers the perfect setting for morning coffee, sun-soaked afternoons, and colorful sunsets over the water.
The easy, level walk to the covered stationary dock makes every lake day effortless. Built in 2023, the dock features low-maintenance composite decking and a convenient storage closet for floats, fishing gear, and lake toys. Simply bring your boat and begin creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Properties offering this much acreage, usable waterfront, living space, privacy, and magnificent Lake Hickory views are exceptionally rare. Whether thoughtfully updating the existing home or transforming it into your ultimate lakefront retreat, the possibilities are as impressive as the setting. This is more than a home—it is an opportunity to experience Lake Hickory living at its very best. Schedule your private tour and discover why this unforgettable waterfront gem must be experienced in person!
