Why wait on new construction when you can have walk-in perfection today…For less! Situated on a premium, private homesite backing to trees, this better-than-builder-grade Fenwick floor plan by Eastwood Homes has been enhanced with more than $129,000 in upgrades — many of which aren't even available through Eastwood Homes. With nearly $530,000 invested, it's now offered at just $495,000, giving buyers a rare chance to own possibly the most upgraded home in the neighborhood for tens of thousands less than it would cost to recreate today. And unlike a lot of Laurelbrook's homesites, this backyard offers a real sense of privacy — mature trees along the rear property line create a peaceful, secluded feel rarely found in new construction. Inside, a first-floor office offers flexible work-from-home space, and the primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor — no stairs required for everyday living. It features a tray ceiling and a spa-inspired bath. Upstairs, the optional second floor adds a spacious loft, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath — perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or a dedicated media room — and the secondary bath was upgraded to match the primary, including an oversized 4-foot shower with seat. The designer kitchen anchors the home with 42-inch cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry throughout, an upgraded tile backsplash, and a full Frigidaire Gallery appliance suite including a gas cooktop. Wide-plank flooring flows through the main living areas, loft, and primary suite, complemented by upgraded carpet, premium paint, and an upgraded trim and lighting package throughout. Beyond Eastwood's extensive builder upgrade list — paver patio, transom windows, designer light fixtures, and more — this home was further customized after closing with the addition of a fully fenced yard, professional landscape lighting, custom laundry and drop-zone cabinetry, statement fandeliers in the family room and primary bedroom, and beautiful Pottery Barn lighting in the entryway, breakfast area, and island pendants. Do your homework. Tour every home currently available in Laurelbrook that fits your criteria — new construction included — and save this one for last. Once you see the level of finish and upgrades against the price, it will be clear why this home outshines anything else currently on the market in the neighborhood. Sherrills Ford is quickly becoming one of the most desirable new communities on Lake Norman, with major retail and commercial growth underway just minutes away — including the expanding Village at Sherrills Ford, Farm North, and Farm South. Commuters enjoy an easier route to Uptown Charlotte and Charlotte Douglas International Airport via NC-16, without the expense of the costly I-77 Toll Lanes or the traffic that comes with it. For added peace of mind, the seller is providing a 2-10 Home Warranty, so buyers can move in with confidence for years to come. This isn't just a home — it's the opportunity to own potentially the nicest property in one of Lake Norman's fastest-growing communities, for less than it cost the original owners to build it.

Some Lake Norman properties offer waterfront. Others offer acreage. Few offer both while providing the infrastructure and flexibility to begin enjoying the property immediately. Encompassing approximately 12.77 private acres across two adjoining parcels, this exceptional offering presents a rare opportunity to create a custom waterfront estate without starting from scratch. Positioned behind a gated entrance at the end of Whispering Winds Drive, the property combines approximately 9.26 acres of improved land with an adjoining 3.51-acre waterfront homesite, creating one of the most unique estate opportunities available on Lake Norman. Gently rolling, predominantly wooded terrain, established trails, a year-round creek, abundant wildlife, and approximately 213 feet of riprapped Lake Norman shoreline that transitions into a continuously flowing creek forming part of the property's boundary, with long water views and immediate access to the main channel, create an exceptional setting for a legacy property. An adjoining subdivision common area provides an additional natural buffer, enhancing the property's privacy and preserving the natural surroundings. The waterfront parcel has already been thoughtfully prepared for its next chapter with a cleared homesite and an active, transferable four-bedroom septic improvement permit, providing an outstanding starting point for a future custom primary waterfront residence. Whether your vision is a private estate, weekend retreat, or multigenerational property, the setting offers the space, privacy, and flexibility to bring it to life. Unlike traditional vacant land offerings, this estate includes substantial existing improvements on the adjoining parcel that dramatically reduce the time between closing and enjoying the property. Completed in 2023, the newly constructed accessory residence provides approximately 700 square feet of heated living space with one bedroom, one full bath, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area. The residence is served by its own private well and septic system, allowing comfortable accommodations while the future primary residence is designed and constructed. An approximately 1,800-square-foot insulated garage and workshop further distinguishes the property, featuring approximately 14-foot ceilings, two 12-foot overhead doors, polyurea epoxy flooring, Galvalume interior wall and ceiling finishes, custom cabinetry, utility sink, ice maker, propane ceiling heater, air compressor plumbing, overhead storage, and exceptional workspace. Additional improvements include covered lean-to storage, a storage building, concrete wash pad, and a 500-gallon propane tank. A private dock and boat lift (currently without electrical service) provide immediate access to Lake Norman, allowing buyers to enjoy the waterfront from the day they take ownership. With no HOA, no CCRs, exceptional privacy, existing improvements, and one of the rarest combinations of acreage and waterfront remaining on Lake Norman, this is far more than a vacant homesite, it is an opportunity to immediately enjoy an extraordinary property while creating a custom waterfront estate designed for generations to come.

Some Lake Norman properties offer waterfront. Others offer acreage. Few offer both with the ability to begin enjoying the property immediately while creating a custom waterfront estate. Encompassing approximately 12.77 private acres across two adjoining parcels, this exceptional offering presents a rare opportunity to own an extraordinarily private Lake Norman property where much of the groundwork has already been completed and the next chapter is yours to create. Tucked behind a gated entrance at the end of Whispering Winds Drive, the property unfolds across gently rolling, predominantly wooded acreage with established trails, a year-round creek, abundant wildlife, and approximately 213 feet of riprapped Lake Norman shoreline that transitions into a continuously flowing creek forming part of the property's boundary, with long water views and immediate access to the main channel. An adjoining subdivision common area provides an additional natural buffer, enhancing the property's privacy and preserving the surrounding setting. A thoughtfully cleared waterfront homesite has already been established, providing an ideal setting for a future custom primary waterfront residence while preserving the property's remarkable privacy and natural beauty. Unlike purchasing raw waterfront land, this property can be enjoyed from the day you close. Completed in 2023, the newly constructed accessory residence offers approximately 700 square feet of heated living space featuring one bedroom, one full bath, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area. Served by its own private well and septic system, the residence provides comfortable accommodations while plans for a custom waterfront home move forward. Complementing the residence is an approximately 1,800-square-foot insulated garage and workshop designed for collectors, hobbyists, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Finished with approximately 14-foot ceilings, two 12-foot overhead doors, polyurea epoxy flooring, Galvalume interior wall and ceiling finishes, custom cabinetry, utility sink, ice maker, propane ceiling heater, air compressor plumbing, overhead storage, and generous workspace, the building offers exceptional versatility. Additional improvements include covered lean-to storage, a storage building, concrete wash pad, and a 500-gallon propane tank. The adjoining waterfront parcel further enhances the property's value with an active, transferable four-bedroom septic improvement permit already in place for the future primary residence. A private dock and boat lift (currently without electrical service) provide immediate access to Lake Norman while plans for the estate come to life. With no HOA, no CCRs, exceptional privacy, existing infrastructure, and a rare combination of acreage, waterfront, and immediate usability, this property offers opportunities seldom found on Lake Norman. Whether enjoyed as a private retreat today or transformed into a custom waterfront estate over time, it provides the flexibility to create something truly lasting. Properties combining this level of privacy, acreage, waterfront, and future potential are increasingly difficult to replicate on Lake Norman.
