0001-0004 Bolton Road | Catawba, NC 28609 42.4 Acres | Private Road | Wooded Estate Tract | Lake Norman Corridor "PRIVATE ROAD" "OPTION TO DIVIDE" Escape the ordinary and claim your own piece of the Carolina countryside. Tucked away along a private road in one of Catawba County's most coveted rural corridors, this extraordinary 42.398-acre parcel offers the kind of seclusion, space, and natural beauty that's nearly impossible to find at any price - let alone this close to Lake Norman, Charlotte, and Hickory. Whether you're dreaming of a private family estate, a working horse farm, a multi-generational retreat, or simply a sanctuary where the only neighbors are deer and songbirds - this land delivers. Mature hardwoods and lush native vegetation create a natural canopy throughout the property, offering year-round privacy and a peaceful, park-like atmosphere that you simply cannot manufacture. This is the kind of land that feels like it was waiting for the right steward. The private road access sets this property apart from the moment you arrive. No through traffic. No strangers passing by. Just you, your land, and the quiet that comes with truly owning your space. The acreage lends itself beautifully to a custom estate home set deep within the trees, a barn and paddock layout with room for horses to roam, or a compound-style development where family members can each build their own home without ever feeling crowded. Speaking of flexibility - this parcel is also available as a divided offering, with the option to split into two tracts of approximately 21 acres each, or four individual tracts of roughly 10 acres each. Whether you're buying to build your dream and keep the rest as a private buffer, investing for future resale, or partnering with family members to each claim a piece - the options are here and they're compelling. Bring your horses, your architect, your builder, and your blueprints. Livestock, outbuildings, barndominiums, and custom homes are all welcome here. Centrally located with quick access to I-40 and Hwy 16, putting Charlotte, Hickory, Mooresville, and Statesville all within an easy commute. Lake Norman State Park is just minutes away for hiking, fishing, and year-round outdoor recreation. This is rural living at its finest - private enough to feel like your own world, connected enough to never feel remote. Opportunities like this don't stay on the market. Large, contiguous, wooded acreage on a private road in the Lake Norman corridor is a rare find - and buyers who recognize that tend to act decisively.
