Catarina Bay Homes for Sale

Catarina Bay reads as a true Lake Norman enclave rather than a generic Cornelius subdivision. Listings consistently frame the neighborhood around water access, boat slips, docks, and lake views, and the setting stays small in scale: just 17 homes along Christofle Drive, with houses built from 1990 through 1996 on lots ranging from roughly 0.46 to 1.01 acres.

Community Highlights

Most homes in Catarina Bay are custom single-family designs with three to four bedrooms, and the street shows a clear preference for larger, more flexible floor plans over compact production layouts. Main-level primary suites appear often, as do hardwood floors, bonus rooms, fireplaces, screened porches, and sunrooms that turn toward the rear yard or the water. Recent pricing shows how sharply waterfront placement can move value here: closed sales reached $1.6 million and $1.8 million, while the current active lakefront offering is priced at $2.495 million with long main-channel views and nearly an acre of shoreline.

The street’s strongest advantage is that Lake Norman access is part of everyday ownership. Some homes market private docks or slips directly from the backyard, while interior homes still lean on community boat slips and dock access as a defining feature. Larger parcels also shape the feel of the neighborhood. Several listings call out mature trees, landscaped yards, cul-de-sac placement, and broad rear setbacks, giving the homes more breathing room than many newer Cornelius developments.
