Some Lake Norman properties offer waterfront. Others offer acreage. Few offer both while providing the infrastructure and flexibility to begin enjoying the property immediately. Encompassing approximately 12.77 private acres across two adjoining parcels, this exceptional offering presents a rare opportunity to create a custom waterfront estate without starting from scratch. Positioned behind a gated entrance at the end of Whispering Winds Drive, the property combines approximately 9.26 acres of improved land with an adjoining 3.51-acre waterfront homesite, creating one of the most unique estate opportunities available on Lake Norman. Gently rolling, predominantly wooded terrain, established trails, a year-round creek, abundant wildlife, and approximately 213 feet of riprapped Lake Norman shoreline that transitions into a continuously flowing creek forming part of the property's boundary, with long water views and immediate access to the main channel, create an exceptional setting for a legacy property. An adjoining subdivision common area provides an additional natural buffer, enhancing the property's privacy and preserving the natural surroundings. The waterfront parcel has already been thoughtfully prepared for its next chapter with a cleared homesite and an active, transferable four-bedroom septic improvement permit, providing an outstanding starting point for a future custom primary waterfront residence. Whether your vision is a private estate, weekend retreat, or multigenerational property, the setting offers the space, privacy, and flexibility to bring it to life. Unlike traditional vacant land offerings, this estate includes substantial existing improvements on the adjoining parcel that dramatically reduce the time between closing and enjoying the property. Completed in 2023, the newly constructed accessory residence provides approximately 700 square feet of heated living space with one bedroom, one full bath, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area. The residence is served by its own private well and septic system, allowing comfortable accommodations while the future primary residence is designed and constructed. An approximately 1,800-square-foot insulated garage and workshop further distinguishes the property, featuring approximately 14-foot ceilings, two 12-foot overhead doors, polyurea epoxy flooring, Galvalume interior wall and ceiling finishes, custom cabinetry, utility sink, ice maker, propane ceiling heater, air compressor plumbing, overhead storage, and exceptional workspace. Additional improvements include covered lean-to storage, a storage building, concrete wash pad, and a 500-gallon propane tank. A private dock and boat lift (currently without electrical service) provide immediate access to Lake Norman, allowing buyers to enjoy the waterfront from the day they take ownership. With no HOA, no CCRs, exceptional privacy, existing improvements, and one of the rarest combinations of acreage and waterfront remaining on Lake Norman, this is far more than a vacant homesite, it is an opportunity to immediately enjoy an extraordinary property while creating a custom waterfront estate designed for generations to come.

Encompassing approximately 12.77 private acres across two adjoining parcels, this exceptional offering presents a rare opportunity to own an extraordinarily private Lake Norman property where much of the groundwork has already been completed and the next chapter is yours to create. Tucked behind a gated entrance at the end of Whispering Winds Drive, the property unfolds across gently rolling, predominantly wooded acreage with established trails, a year-round creek, abundant wildlife, and approximately 213 feet of riprapped Lake Norman shoreline that transitions into a continuously flowing creek forming part of the property's boundary, with long water views and immediate access to the main channel. An adjoining subdivision common area provides an additional natural buffer, enhancing the property's privacy and preserving the surrounding setting. A thoughtfully cleared waterfront homesite has already been established, providing an ideal setting for a future custom primary waterfront residence while preserving the property's remarkable privacy and natural beauty. Unlike purchasing raw waterfront land, this property can be enjoyed from the day you close. Completed in 2023, the newly constructed accessory residence offers approximately 700 square feet of heated living space featuring one bedroom, one full bath, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area. Served by its own private well and septic system, the residence provides comfortable accommodations while plans for a custom waterfront home move forward. Complementing the residence is an approximately 1,800-square-foot insulated garage and workshop designed for collectors, hobbyists, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Finished with approximately 14-foot ceilings, two 12-foot overhead doors, polyurea epoxy flooring, Galvalume interior wall and ceiling finishes, custom cabinetry, utility sink, ice maker, propane ceiling heater, air compressor plumbing, overhead storage, and generous workspace, the building offers exceptional versatility. Additional improvements include covered lean-to storage, a storage building, concrete wash pad, and a 500-gallon propane tank. The adjoining waterfront parcel further enhances the property's value with an active, transferable four-bedroom septic improvement permit already in place for the future primary residence. A private dock and boat lift (currently without electrical service) provide immediate access to Lake Norman while plans for the estate come to life. With no HOA, no CCRs, exceptional privacy, existing infrastructure, and a rare combination of acreage, waterfront, and immediate usability, this property offers opportunities seldom found on Lake Norman. Whether enjoyed as a private retreat today or transformed into a custom waterfront estate over time, it provides the flexibility to create something truly lasting. Properties combining this level of privacy, acreage, waterfront, and future potential are increasingly difficult to replicate on Lake Norman.

Welcome to DeFarm on Blueberry Hill, a one-of-a-kind opportunity on 11.48 +/- Acres in Catawba, North Carolina, where country living meets established income potential. This remarkable property features a thriving U-pick blueberry farm, a well-known farm stand, and a fully equipped jam kitchen, along with a herb garden and mushrooms. This unique offering allows the opportunity to continue a successful agricultural business from day one. The farm is being offered with two rental homes that provide dependable income, creating multiple revenue streams while you enjoy all the benefits of farm ownership. Whether you’re looking to expand an existing operation, launch an agritourism venture, or invest in a productive farm, DeFarm on Blueberry Hill offers endless possibilities. With plenty of room to build your dream home, you can create your own private country retreat while enjoying income from the established blueberry operation, farm stand, jam kitchen, and rental houses. Surrounded by the beauty of Catawba’s countryside, this exceptional property blends lifestyle, investment, and legacy into one rare offering. Included in the offering! -The business name and brand equity & Social media presence. -The Primary Blueberry Field: The land was cleared and naturally amended with cover crops to achieve the perfect soil profile for blueberries. Because blueberry bushes require three years to fruit and five to reach full maturity, a buyer bypasses years of zero-income development. Last year, this field harvested 5,000 pints with ease. This mature field will maintain this high-producing average with minimal ongoing labor. -Built-In Expansion Field: To meet overwhelming demand, an additional 145 properly cared-for bushes were planted two years ago. They will begin their first fruit production this year, immediately increasing the farm’s baseline yield. -Forest-Grown Mushroom Operation:Utilizing the original ancient woodlands, an established mushroom business grows premium mushrooms on inoculated logs. These logs last 3 to 5 years with two harvests annually. The currently inoculated logs will automatically produce for the next several years. -Nursery Plant Revenue Stream: The blueberry bushes produce their own offspring. Pruned in February, they create a highly economical source of secondary income. A large supply of plastic nursery pots is included in the sale to support this branch. -Beehives & Raised Bed Extravaganza:The sale includes two established beehives, which serve as essential pollinators to guarantee high crop yields. Additionally, there are 20 fully soiled, low-maintenance galvanized raised beds for flowers, spices, and vegetables, beautifully surrounding a central pond built from repurposed stones from the property's original homestead. -Certified Jam Kitchen: The farm's homemade jam is wildly popular. The barn was built to all required standards for a certified jam kitchen. To support this growing branch, fields of blackberries, strawberries and figs have also been successfully established. Certified Jam Kitchen & Processing 16-foot stainless steel food processing counter with four built-in sinks. Four (4) refrigerators, Commercial dehydrator. -Historic Retail Station: For customer purchases, the farm features a stunning antique market wagon—a beautiful nod to local history and the Piedmont Wagon Company. To protect this asset, a custom open shed with a metal roof has been built and stained to match the farm's aesthetic. -Two Modern Rental Properties/ With tenants in place: The property features two appealing rental units that provide immediate financial stability. Both homes are less than 10 years old, virtually maintenance-free, and come fully furnished with refrigerators, stoves, and washers/dryers. 3BR/2BA 1,579 +/- HLA SQFT, 1BR/1BA 719 +/- HLA SQFT
