8178 Island Point Road, Sherrills Ford, NC

The assembly of significant acreage within the Lake Norman corridor has become an increasingly complex undertaking, marking this 66.55-acre contiguous tract in Sherrills Ford as a notable exception. Located along Island Point Road, the property integrates two distinct parcels to form a substantial land position in a submarket defined by rapid residential expansion and a tightening supply of developable area. The site currently features a 14,000-square-foot structure, offering a versatile foundation for a private estate, a conservation-minded enclave, or a master-planned community. Positioned eight miles from Denver and within thirty-six miles of center-city Charlotte, the location balances rural privacy with proximity to the region's primary economic hubs. For the institutional developer or private investor, the value here lies in the rarity of the scale; assembling nearly 67 acres in this specific quadrant of the lake market is a prospect that seldom repeats. Inquiry regarding the portfolio and its development potential may be directed to Peters & Associates for a private consultation.

About the home

Rare 66.55± acre land assemblage in booming Sherrills Ford, minutes from Lake Norman! This exceptional offering combines 8178 & 8084 Island Point Rd into one contiguous tract, giving a builder or developer a sizable, scarce land position in one of the fastest-growing lake markets in the Charlotte region. Nearly 67 contiguous acres of this scale is increasingly difficult to assemble in this submarket, making it a compelling candidate for a single-family subdivision, estate lot community, cluster/conservation-style development preserving open space, or a phased master-planned community, subject to county approval. The property sits just 8 miles from Denver, 12 miles from Mooresville, and roughly 36 miles from Charlotte, offering the scale and privacy of a large acreage parcel while remaining within easy reach of established Lake Norman towns and the greater Charlotte metro. Sherrills Ford has experienced sustained residential growth, driven by relocation into the Charlotte metro and continued demand for lake-adjacent living, positioning this land for strong long-term value. An existing 14,000 SF structure sits on the property and may be incorporated, adapted, or removed as part of a future residential plan. Buyers are encouraged to independently confirm zoning classification, allowable density, required setbacks, floodplain and environmental constraints, and utility extension requirements with Catawba County prior to submitting an offer contingent on development feasibility. Offered at $3,327,500 ($50,000/acre), fee simple, with no lease or tenant encumbrances. Property sold as-is. Buyer to perform independent due diligence on all zoning, land-use, engineering, and environmental matters. Don't miss this rare opportunity to secure a large, contiguous land position in one of Lake Norman's most sought after growth corridors!
