8470 Marina Lane, Catawba, NC

Sited along the northern reaches of Lake Norman, this waterfront residence in Catawba captures the expansive perspectives of the main channel. Constructed in 1993, the 3,116-square-foot structure is thoughtfully arranged for multi-generational utility, featuring dual independent living levels each equipped with a full kitchen. The five-bedroom interior transitions to an exterior designed for significant scale, centered around a poolside terrace capable of accommodating more than two dozen guests and a double dock with integrated boat lifts. For those arriving by air, the property’s proximity to the Long Island Airport (NC26) across the cove provides a logistical advantage rarely found in standard lakefront inventory. The northern submarket continues to attract acquisitions from those seeking the serenity of open water without the density of the southern basins, maintaining a steady demand for parcels with gentle topography. Private viewings of this residence and discussions regarding the Catawba shoreline may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
