2371 W Paradise Harbor Drive, Connelly Springs, NC

The architecture of Lake Rhodhiss takes a decisive turn toward modern craftsmanship at this new construction within the gates of Paradise Harbor. Completed in 2024, the residence occupies a prominent position on the main channel, defined by 150 feet of shoreline and a rare private sandy beach. The 4,741-square-foot interior is anchored by a double-height volume featuring floor-to-ceiling stonework and exposed timber, establishing a rigorous design language that carries through to the four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The floor plan prioritizes utility for the host, integrating a sprawling culinary suite with a dedicated primary wing and home office on the main level. While the luxury market in Connelly Springs has historically centered on traditional estates, there is a growing appetite for this specific brand of high-volume, glass-heavy design that maximizes water frontage. This shift suggests a long-term appreciation for properties that successfully merge contemporary aesthetics with the region's natural geography. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
