687 Sam Poole Lane, Taylorsville, NC

Positioned on an elevated vantage point overlooking Lake Hickory, this 2004 Cape Cod residence prioritizes architectural restraint and an intimate connection to its waterfront environment. The property encompasses 1.39 acres and offers 214 feet of shoreline, featuring a private dock equipped with a boat lift and a sun deck designed for active lake use. The 3,033-square-foot interior includes three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with a walk-out lower level configured for seamless transitions between the water and a dedicated kitchenette and family room. An ironwood wraparound porch provides a durable, high-utility space for observation, while the grounds are maintained by a comprehensive irrigation system and marked by a stone waterfall feature. In the Taylorsville submarket, parcels of this scale with significant water frontage are increasingly scarce, representing a stable opportunity for those seeking privacy without the density of nearby metropolitan hubs. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
