Description

**SELLER CALLING FOR BEST AND FINAL OFFERS BY 12 PM ON 03/10/26**RARE Lake Norman waterfront property with sunset views in Cornelius! This is your opportunity to own 0.53 acres with NO HOA, over 125 feet of shoreline, a private boat ramp, extensive dock infrastructure, and single-level living with a finished walk-out basement. Properties offering this level of shoreline frontage andprivate ramp access are exceptionally difficult to secure. This home offers 3,000+ square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The main level provides comfortable one-story living, while the finished walk-out basement adds valuable flexible space for guests, recreation, entertaining, or multi-generational living with direct access to the backyard and water. What truly sets this property apart is the turnkey lake setup. Enjoy your own private boat ramp into Lake Norman, two covered boat lifts, a floating dock, and a covered gazebo. The pier and rear deck feature new PVC decking installed in 2025, designed for durability, low maintenance, and positioned to capture incredible year-round sunset views! Significant improvements have already been completed, giving the next owner peace of mind and the ability to focus on personal updates. The home features a new architectural roof installed in 2024, new roofs on the dock gazebo and boat lift covers, a new hot water tank in 2024, and new six-inch gutters with leaf guards and downspouts. In 2025, a high-efficiency 19 SEER variable speed DC heat pump system was installed along with a Halo whole-home air purification system and whole-house filtration system to enhance indoor comfort and energy efficiency. Kitchen hardwood floors were refinished in 2025, and energy-efficient windows were installed throughout most of the home. The oversized 2-car garage is designed with integrated workshop space and flexible depth, comfortably accommodating two vehicles with ample room for watercraft accessories, golf carts, or recreational equipment. Owned and meticulously maintained for over 20 years, this property reflects pride of ownership while offering an opportunity for a buyer who wants to modernize cosmetic finishes and build equity in a highly desirable Cornelius waterfront location. Currently on well and septic, with city water and sewer available for connection, the property offers flexibility for future expansion or additional outdoor enhancements. Conveniently located near marinas, waterfront dining, shopping, and Charlotte access, this is more than a lake house. It is a strategic Lake Norman waterfront investment with private ramp access, dual covered lifts, walk-out basement living, and over half an acre of shoreline in one of Cornelius’ most sought-after areas. Opportunities with this amount of shoreline and private dock infrastructure do not last!
