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.

Welcome to Caldwell Acres, a Lake front community with an Airstrip. The runway was constructed in 1962. The current owner's father purchased this property in 1979. Not much information is available. We do have a survey for the Long Island Airport Homeowners Association along with a letter dated July 20, 2002. To my Sellers knowledge there is not an HOA or CCR's for their section of Caldwell Acres. The new Buyer is welcome to the history documentation regarding this community and the airport/runway. The Seller is in the process of obtaining a new survey to make sure there are no encroachments. You can always make your offer contingent on obtaining a copy of a new survey. This is a wooded lot that when the new owner Clears and cleans up will soon discover a diamond in the rough and a beautiful site to build their new custom home. Shoreline management requires that you have 100 feet of waterfrontage to build 1000 feet dock shadowed over the water. The way this lot is shaped there is 78.10 x 50 feet giving you 128.10 feet. Please check with Shoreline Management due to the way the lot is shaped. The requirements also state you can't take up more than a third of the cove.

PRICE ADJUSTMENT!! Grab this lot while you can. Lake is still not a full pond but due to that you have the opportunity at a great deal on this lot! Grab it now and get instant equity when the lake levels get back to normal. HUGE 1.46 Acre lot on LAKE NORMAN! Buy and build now or buy to hold because we all know the vacant lake lots are limited! Your chance is finally here to own a slice of lake heaven. Welcome to the Long Bay Subdivision where tasteful new construction is happening and where the lake lots are LARGE! Here you are getting two lots for one money! 1725 & 1722 Bay Head Court not only include about an acre and half of land but also that means over 250' of shoreline too! Per the initial plat there are no restrictions on the ability to build a dock but Lake Services through Duke Energy handles all dock permitting so buyer would want to confirm with Lake Services on the type, size and ability to build a dock. This property is currently wooded and the property has been perk tested and has suitable soil for a conventional or 25% reduction gravity fed system (the most economical). The soil scientist also said up to a 4 bedroom home should be supported, possibly more but house location would need to be figured out. The gentle slope allows for an easy walk down to the lakefront compared to many other lots in this area. Don't delay, come see this property today and be ready for summer fun on Lake Norman! Also to note due to drought, Lake Norman is not at full pond yet. That typically occurs in May when there is no drought per Duke Energy however this year we are still waiting on some much needed rain. The lake is up a foot from the time these pictures were taken and should be approximately 2-3 ft higher on average by this time of year.
