Contemporary architecture finds a rare, disciplined expression on the shores of High Rock Lake, North Carolina’s second-largest inland body of water. Completed in 2024, this 5,495-square-foot residence prioritizes geometric precision and an intimate connection to the waterfront. The floor plan is thoughtfully composed for long-term residency, featuring four bedrooms, each accompanied by its own en-suite bath, alongside a kitchen defined by marble surfaces and a concealed pantry for seamless entertaining. Outside, the property transitions to a private beach and a substantial 1,000-square-foot pier, designed for the scale of contemporary watercraft. For the Charlotte-based professional, this submarket offers a significant value proposition, providing expansive acreage and deep-water access within a sixty-minute drive of Douglas International Airport. While the regional market often leans toward traditional lakefront aesthetics, this estate represents a shift toward modernism that remains scarce in the Piedmont. Private consultations regarding this property and the High Rock Lake enclave are available through Peters & Associates.
