Rarely does a property offer this much flexibility in such a convenient Hickory location. Situated at 2607 20th Street Lane NE, this approximately 8.77-acre tract presents an exceptional opportunity for a buyer seeking privacy, space, and the freedom to create a custom estate, while also offering compelling potential for a builder or developer exploring a residential subdivision. For the individual buyer, the acreage provides the setting to design a home around the way you want to live. Create a private retreat surrounded by natural space, position the residence to take advantage of the land, and reserve room for outdoor living areas, gardens, recreational space, a pool, additional garage space, a detached workshop, or other future improvements. With nearly nine acres, there is room to establish a true sense of separation and privacy while retaining convenient access to the shopping, dining, employment centers, medical services, and everyday amenities available throughout Hickory. The scale of the property allows a future owner to think beyond the footprint of the home itself. A long driveway, landscaped entrance, expansive lawn, wooded buffers, outdoor gathering areas, or a combination of open and natural spaces may all be part of the vision. Rather than adapting to the limitations of a typical residential lot, the next owner can begin with land, flexibility, and the opportunity to shape the property around specific priorities. For builders and developers, the property offers a sizable tract with the potential to support multiple homesites or a thoughtfully planned residential community. The acreage, established location, and proximity to the amenities of Northeast Hickory may make this an attractive option for future residential development. Whether envisioned as a small collection of custom homes, a boutique neighborhood, or a phased development opportunity, the property provides a versatile canvas for further evaluation and planning. The parcel may appeal to local and regional builders seeking their next land acquisition, particularly those interested in creating a smaller-scale project in an established market. Depending on site design and applicable approvals, the acreage could offer opportunities for individual lots, a private road concept, shared infrastructure, or another residential layout suited to current buyer demand. This is also an appealing opportunity for an investor seeking to acquire land in an established area and hold it for future appreciation, development, or resale. Larger tracts within the Hickory market can be difficult to find, particularly those offering the ability to appeal to both an end user and a development-minded buyer. That versatility creates multiple possible paths for ownership and long-term value. A buyer may choose to build now, hold the property for a future project, or explore a development strategy over time. The property should be evaluated based on the buyer’s intended use, and all development potential is subject to zoning, governmental approvals, access, utility availability, soil evaluation, topography, environmental considerations, engineering, and other applicable requirements. Buyers are encouraged to complete independent due diligence regarding subdivision potential, infrastructure needs, allowable density, road requirements, utility connections, stormwater considerations, and site planning. No representation is made regarding a specific number of lots or guaranteed development outcome. Whether your vision is a private custom home surrounded by acreage or a new residential development designed to serve future homeowners, 2607 20th Street Lane NE offers the space, location, and flexibility to bring that vision into focus. Explore the possibilities of approximately 8.77 acres in Northeast Hickory and consider what could be created on one of the area’s most adaptable land opportunities.

Some Lake Norman properties offer waterfront. Others offer acreage. Few offer both while providing the infrastructure and flexibility to begin enjoying the property immediately. Encompassing approximately 12.77 private acres across two adjoining parcels, this exceptional offering presents a rare opportunity to create a custom waterfront estate without starting from scratch. Positioned behind a gated entrance at the end of Whispering Winds Drive, the property combines approximately 9.26 acres of improved land with an adjoining 3.51-acre waterfront homesite, creating one of the most unique estate opportunities available on Lake Norman. Gently rolling, predominantly wooded terrain, established trails, a year-round creek, abundant wildlife, and approximately 213 feet of riprapped Lake Norman shoreline that transitions into a continuously flowing creek forming part of the property's boundary, with long water views and immediate access to the main channel, create an exceptional setting for a legacy property. An adjoining subdivision common area provides an additional natural buffer, enhancing the property's privacy and preserving the natural surroundings. The waterfront parcel has already been thoughtfully prepared for its next chapter with a cleared homesite and an active, transferable four-bedroom septic improvement permit, providing an outstanding starting point for a future custom primary waterfront residence. Whether your vision is a private estate, weekend retreat, or multigenerational property, the setting offers the space, privacy, and flexibility to bring it to life. Unlike traditional vacant land offerings, this estate includes substantial existing improvements on the adjoining parcel that dramatically reduce the time between closing and enjoying the property. Completed in 2023, the newly constructed accessory residence provides approximately 700 square feet of heated living space with one bedroom, one full bath, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area. The residence is served by its own private well and septic system, allowing comfortable accommodations while the future primary residence is designed and constructed. An approximately 1,800-square-foot insulated garage and workshop further distinguishes the property, featuring approximately 14-foot ceilings, two 12-foot overhead doors, polyurea epoxy flooring, Galvalume interior wall and ceiling finishes, custom cabinetry, utility sink, ice maker, propane ceiling heater, air compressor plumbing, overhead storage, and exceptional workspace. Additional improvements include covered lean-to storage, a storage building, concrete wash pad, and a 500-gallon propane tank. A private dock and boat lift (currently without electrical service) provide immediate access to Lake Norman, allowing buyers to enjoy the waterfront from the day they take ownership. With no HOA, no CCRs, exceptional privacy, existing improvements, and one of the rarest combinations of acreage and waterfront remaining on Lake Norman, this is far more than a vacant homesite, it is an opportunity to immediately enjoy an extraordinary property while creating a custom waterfront estate designed for generations to come.

Your Own 29-Acre Compound — Minutes from Charlotte Some properties give you a house. This one gives you dominion. Perched on 29.1 uninterrupted acres in Concord, 8680 Hills Dell Dr is that rare find — a true private estate where the land isn't just a lot, it's the point. Rolling terrain, mature hardwoods, and long sightlines create a setting that feels a hundred miles from anywhere, yet Uptown Charlotte is under 30 minutes away. The Land Twenty-nine acres of possibility. Whether you dream of an equestrian farm with room to ride, a generational family compound with space for separate dwellings, or simply a private sanctuary where the nearest neighbor isn't a concern — this is your canvas. The property carries forestry tax status, offering long-term savings while the land works for you. No HOA. No restrictions. Just space. The Home The 3,776 square foot custom residence (4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, built 2003) is both comfortable and functional. It serves as an ideal primary residence or a weekend retreat while you plan your vision for the acreage. Additional improvements include a residential pool (added 2006), a greenhouse, and both asphalt and concrete driveways — infrastructure that adds value from day one. The Lifestyle This is for the buyer who doesn't want to compromise. You want land, but you also want access. You want privacy, but not isolation. You want room for horses, toys, gardens, guest houses, or simply quiet. At 8680 Hills Dell Dr, you get all of it — 29 acres of pure potential. Why Now Properties of this scale, with this proximity to Charlotte, don't hit the market often. At $2.2M — roughly $75k/acre — this is a land-value play with a substantial home included. Comparable 30+ acre parcels in Cabarrus County have traded for $1.1M (land only). Here, the home is a bonus. What It's Perfect For Private equestrian estate Multi-generational family compound Developer's land bank with immediate residential use Executive retreat with Charlotte commute Hobby farm with greenhouse and growing space.
