Positioned on a premier main channel point within the gates of Swift Island Plantation, this Lake Tillery estate represents a deliberate study in waterfront symmetry. Constructed in 2006, the 5,900-square-foot residence is anchored by a three-story elevator and a formal circular staircase, connecting five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The architecture prioritizes the long-range vista, particularly within the primary suite which occupies a private level and features a dedicated covered balcony. Outside, the transition to the water is handled with restraint, featuring a heated pool with a waterfall spa and a gentle gradient leading to a two-bay covered boathouse set in deep water. In the Mount Gilead submarket, point lots of this caliber are increasingly rare, as discerning buyers continue to migrate toward the privacy and deep-water access found in the Uwharrie region. This property offers a level of seclusion and infrastructure that remains difficult to replicate on the lake’s main channel. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
