Private two-acre retreat on Lyon's Creek at Lake Gaston, surrounded by undeveloped land. Historic property, once part of original farmland Lake Gaston was built on. Renovated 5-bedroom home blends timeless character with modern comfort and style, including primary suite on main level, new metal roof, new HVAC systems for each floor, all new Andersen windows and doors, Hardie Plank siding, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Enjoy gorgeous waterfront views, quiet natural beauty, and exceptional boathouse, dock, and sundeck -- ideal for sun, shade, and sunset views at cocktail hour. Just minutes by boat to waterfront restaurants and seasonal fireworks, yet tucked away from main channel so soundtrack here is more often birds, frogs, and rustling trees than boat traffic. Watch deer, herons, and other wildlife from your lakeside oasis. Beautifully updated kitchen features vaulted ceilings, quartz counters, 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 afternoons of reading, napping, game nights, or simply taking in the view. Large detached garage with upper level offers great flexibility -- for workshop, studio, office, hobbies, home business, or future guest/additional living space with easy conversion. Heating, cooling, electricity, and water already there. Conveniently located about 1.5 hours from both Triangle and Richmond, home works equally well as weekend getaway or full-time residence. Also offers exciting potential as destination property for weddings, private events, or short-term rental use. High-speed 500 Mbps fiber internet throughout the house, garage, and boathouse -- a premium lake feature ideal for remote work or extended stays. For turnkey transition, purchase fully furnished with boat -- ready to enjoy from day one. Up to 33 additional acres also available for purchase. Details upon request.
