Rare Opportunity! Wake up to the shimmer of Lookout Shoals Lake, where the water stretches wide and peaceful, framed by wooded coves and quiet skies. Tucked in a private, beautifully maintained setting at the end of a dead-end street, this custom-built home offers year-round big water views and a lifestyle that feels like vacation—every single day. Known locally as Lake Lookout, this 1, 300-acre reservoir along the Catawba River is one of North Carolina’s best-kept secrets. With nearly 40% of its shoreline preserved and the rest dotted with spacious homesites, the lake feels open, natural, and unhurried. Residents enjoy boating, kayaking, jet skiing, fishing, and sunset cruising, all without the crowds of larger lakes. Seller will include rebuilding a kayak launch area from your backyard with an acceptable offer plus you’ll find two public launch areas, and nearby Riverbend Park’s 12 miles of hiking and nature trails—just minutes away. Back at home, the beauty continues. Enjoy easy one-level living, a full-length screened-in back deck to take advantage of your private water views, plus a walk-out finished basement with over 800 heated square feet for guests, hobbies, and extra living space. The basement area cannot count towards square footage, however, due to the ceiling height of 6'10". Every inch of this well-built, lovingly cared-for home reflects quality and comfort. Whether you’re searching for a primary residence, a weekend escape, or a short-term rental investment, this property delivers unbeatable value for lake living under $500K. And when you’re ready for a round of golf or dinner with friends, Rock Barn Country Club is just 9 minutes away and Charlotte about 1 hour for your out-of-town visitors. Here, the days are brighter, the pace is slower, and the water is always just outside your window. This is Lake Lookout living — private, peaceful, and perfectly within reach.
