Private, waterfront retreat on Lyon's Creek, Lake Gaston surrounded by undeveloped land. Historic property and renovated 5-bedroom home blends timeless character with modern comfort and style, including a primary suite on the main, a new metal roof, new HVAC systems for each floor, new Andersen windows and doors, Hardie Plank siding, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Gorgeous waterfront views, quiet natural beauty, exceptional boathouse, dock, and deck for soaking up sun, relaxing in shade, or enjoying sunsets at cocktail hour. Just minutes by boat to waterfront restaurants and seasonal fireworks, yet tucked away from the main channel so the soundtrack here is more often birds, frogs, and rustling trees than boat traffic. Watch deer, herons, and other wildlife from your own peaceful lakeside oasis. Beautifully updated kitchen features vaulted ceilings, quartz counters, a chef's range, two refrigerators, and stylish finishes, while multiple living areas provide space for gathering as well as quiet retreat. Full-length screened porch invites long afternoons reading, napping, games, or simply taking in the water. Detached garage with upper level, is ideal for a workshop, studio, office, hobby space, home business, or future guest/add'l living. Heating, cooling, electricity, and water for easy conversion. Conveniently 1.5 hours from the Triangle and Richmond, equally great weekend getaway or full-time residence. Also exciting destination property potential, weddings, private events, short-term rentals. High-speed 500 Mbps fiber internet throughout the house, garage, and boathouse. A premium lake feature. Option to buy fully furnished, complete with boat, to enjoy from day one. For an even more private escape or compound, expand and purchase additional adjoining acreage.
