126 Lake Mist Drive, Belmont, NC

The emergence of 126 Lake Mist Drive marks the final and most substantial addition to an exclusive four-residence enclave in Belmont. Constructed by Preston Wilson of BowerTraust, this 4,313-square-foot home is positioned on a nearly one-acre parcel, oriented to capture views of Lake Wylie. The architecture prioritizes texture and organic light, featuring a three-bedroom, five-bathroom program defined by coffered ceilings, quartzite surfaces, and bespoke cabinetry. The 2026 completion includes an expansive garage designed for larger vehicle collections and a screened porch integrated for seamless transition between the interior and the lakeside landscape. In the current Gaston County submarket, discerning buyers are increasingly seeking these specific new-construction estates that offer the privacy of significant acreage alongside immediate water proximity. This property represents the definitive conclusion of the Lake Mist development, offering a level of custom craftsmanship rarely available in such a concentrated footprint. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
