Wildlife Bay Homes for Sale

Wildlife Bay is a low-density lake community on Fishing Creek Lake where direct water access shapes nearly every home and homesite. The neighborhood reads less like a conventional subdivision and more like a collection of private waterfront retreats, with shoreline position, dock rights, and long water views defining the experience.

Community Highlights

Wildlife Bay is built around Fishing Creek Lake on the Catawba River corridor, and that identity comes through immediately in the housing mix. Most homesites and homes in the community sit on the water, and many properties include covered docks, floating docks, boat lifts, or deeded slips. Pricing is broad because Wildlife Bay includes both finished homes and vacant build sites: offerings in the community have ranged from $24,900 for an off-water lot with a deeded slip to $850,000 for a newly built lake home, while improved homes have centered much higher, with a median around $635,000. Lots are notably generous for a lake neighborhood, typically landing around 1.7 to 1.9 acres, with some parcels stretching to roughly 3.9 acres.

Finished homes lean custom in character. Open living areas, granite kitchens, hardwood floors, main-level primary suites, and screened porches or sunrooms show up repeatedly, and basement plans are common enough to be a defining feature on the sloping waterfront parcels. Brunson Road has produced the highest average sale prices among improved homes, supported by open-water frontage and a concentration of custom houses. Exterior materials are mixed rather than uniform, with brick appearing in isolated cases and the stronger pattern being an emphasis on windows, porches, garages, and outdoor entertaining space.
