A rare opportunity to create a truly private custom retreat in the lakefront community of Long Bay. Offered as a proposed land/home package, this thoughtfully designed custom residence is planned for two adjoining homesites totaling approximately 2.8 acres, creating a level of privacy and seclusion rarely found within an established community. The property is further enhanced by adjoining HOA-owned acreage, providing a beautiful natural backdrop and additional separation from neighboring homes. Originally designed by the seller/builder for his own family, the proposed home blends timeless rustic architecture with elevated modern living. The design features approximately 3,650 square feet of planned living space, including proposed finished space above the garage, with soaring vaulted ceilings, dramatic exposed timbers, expansive windows, natural stone and wood elements, generous indoor/outdoor living areas, and an open layout designed to embrace the surrounding landscape. The inspiration package reflects the warm, sophisticated lodge-style character envisioned for the home. Construction has not yet begun, creating an opportunity for the future owner to work directly with the seller/builder to personalize selections and certain design elements before construction. Renderings, plans and inspiration photos are representative of the proposed home and are intended to illustrate the overall design vision. Final design, square footage, specifications, features, finishes and pricing are subject to final plans, buyer selections or modifications, builder specifications, site conditions and applicable approvals. Want the land without the proposed build? Both adjoining homesites are also offered separately for $125,000 each, with the seller preferring to sell the lots together to maximize the acreage, privacy, and natural setting. See 7865 Long Bay Pkwy MLS #4424444 and 7877 Long Bay Pkwy MLS #4424456 for the individual land offerings.

PRICE ADJUSTMENT!! Grab this lot while you can. Lake is still not a full pond but due to that you have the opportunity at a great deal on this lot! 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.
