This unparalleled lakefront opportunity offers a stunning, full acre of private, unrestricted land in Cornelius, complete with stately trees and direct Lake Norman access.

The generous one acre lot offers privacy while being conveniently close to local shops, restaurants, I-77, and the lake's best spots. The site presents flexible options: build one magnificent dream home, remodel or tear down existing home, or potentially subdivide and construct two separate half-acre waterfront residences (if subdivided, please note that only one pier is permitted). An existing dock is in place for immediate enjoyment of boating, jet skiing, kayaking, and lounging while having immediate access to the main channel. Essential utilities are readily available, with city water and sewer access at the street, ensuring modern convenience for future development.

The backyard of the lot has an irrigation system in place that has a pump pulling water from the lake.There are 2 boat launches in the community (one on Whispering oaks) and HOA dues are $0.
