335 Catawba Avenue, Davidson, NC

This expansive five-acre acreage in Davidson represents one of the final significant development opportunities within walking distance of the town’s historic Main Street and the retail corridors of Jetton and Griffith Street. The property serves as a historical anchor, anchored by a residence originally constructed in 1901 with mid-century additions, encompassing four bedrooms and one bath. While the structure has remained unoccupied since 2015, the land itself offers seasonal views and direct access to Lake Norman. In a submarket where inventory of this scale is virtually non-existent, the site’s R100 residential zoning provides a rare canvas for a visionary project, provided the design honors the long-standing legacy of the Houston family estate. Buyers should note that Davidson’s restrictive growth policies and the scarcity of contiguous parcels adjacent to the Cornelius border make this particular assembly a strategic long-term acquisition. Private inquiries and requests for the complete property dossier may be directed through Peters & Associates.
