About the home

Custom-built four-story lakefront home on one of the flattest lots on Lake Hickory! Designed and lovingly maintained by its original owner as a private vacation retreat, this exceptional property offers panoramic main-channel lake views from nearly every room. The unfinished main level provides endless possibilities and features a one-car garage, spacious storage/workshop area, and a recreational room with two garage doors that open just steps from the water’s edge. A short flight of stairs leads to the first living level, where an open-concept floor plan showcases breathtaking lake views throughout the great room and dining area. Multiple doors open onto the wraparound covered deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen features a one-of-a-kind center island sourced from a feed store in Taylorsville, NC — so substantial that a crane was required for installation during construction. This level also includes one bedroom and a full bathroom. The second level offers two ensuite bedrooms along with the spacious primary suite, complete with a private deck overlooking the lake. The luxurious primary bath features a large walk-in shower and soaking tub. A conveniently located laundry room is also on this floor. The third level includes a cozy sitting room with spectacular lake views, plus a large bonus room featuring an open kid-sized half bath — perfect for a playroom, bunk area, or flex space. This incredible custom home combines unmatched lakefront living with no restrictions and no HOA, making it a rare opportunity on Lake Hickory.
