Grab it now and get instant equity when the lake levels get back to normal. HUGE 1.46 Acre lot on LAKE NORMAN! Buy and build now or buy to hold because we all know the vacant lake lots are limited! Your chance is finally here to own a slice of lake heaven. Welcome to the Long Bay Subdivision where tasteful new construction is happening and where the lake lots are LARGE! Here you are getting two lots for one money! 1725 & 1722 Bay Head Court not only include about an acre and half of land but also that means over 250' of shoreline too! Per the initial plat there are no restrictions on the ability to build a dock but Lake Services through Duke Energy handles all dock permitting so buyer would want to confirm with Lake Services on the type, size and ability to build a dock. This property is currently wooded and the property has been perk tested and has suitable soil for a conventional or 25% reduction gravity fed system (the most economical). The soil scientist also said up to a 4 bedroom home should be supported, possibly more but house location would need to be figured out. The gentle slope allows for an easy walk down to the lakefront compared to many other lots in this area. Don't delay, come see this property today and be ready for summer fun on Lake Norman! Also to note due to drought, Lake Norman is not at full pond yet. That typically occurs in May when there is no drought per Duke Energy however this year we are still waiting on some much needed rain. The lake is up a foot from the time these pictures were taken and should be approximately 2-3 ft higher on average by this time of year.
