18212 & 18210 Pompano Place, Cornelius, NC

A rare assembly of two contiguous parcels on the Lake Norman shoreline, this gated Cornelius estate offers a level of privacy and scale seldom found in the region. Situated on approximately 1.38 acres with 430 feet of water frontage, the property encompasses two distinct residences built in 1996, totaling six bedrooms and seven bathrooms across 4,218 square feet of living space. The primary residence is defined by custom craftsmanship, featuring cherry wood millwork and Pella windows that frame the lake. The adjacent parcel includes a guest house and a lakeside basketball court, anchored by a double-decker dock with a covered slip. In a submarket where restrictive covenants often dictate the scope of development, this property is notable for its lack of an HOA, providing an uncommon degree of autonomy for the owner. Such expansive, multi-structure holdings are increasingly scarce as Lake Norman inventory continues to tighten. Private viewings of the Pompano Place estate may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
