A rare opportunity to purchase and build on one of the last remaining lakefront lots in Cornelius. This land has not exchanged owners since Lake Norman was created. Discreetly situated near the end of Bethel Church Rd, this exceptional lot offers long-range, year-round water views and a serene setting, well suited for a custom lakefront residence. The property includes approximately 105 feet of shoreline with a natural beach. Waterfront lots suitable for custom construction are scarce, making this a compelling opportunity to create a thoughtfully designed estate in one of Lake Norman’s most established areas. The last five photos are historical photos shortly after Lake Norman was built. The barn currently on the property was built in 1956, and the property has remained in the family since before the barn was built. This is a great opportunity to purchase some very special waterfront.
