About This Home

Location, location, location! Enjoy the best of Lake Norman living from this waterfront home in the highly desirable Bahia Bay community. Ideally situated in a peaceful cove just off the main channel, you can enjoy quieter water at home while still being only minutes by boat from waterfront dining and entertainment.

The outdoor living space is designed for relaxing and entertaining, with expansive lake views, a spacious covered porch, outdoor kitchen, gas grill and refrigerator. Outdoor gas heater for those cooler evenings. A private dock, electric boat lift and jet ski ramp/lift make it easy to take full advantage of life on the water.

Inside, the home offers three levels of living space with a flexible layout, custom finishes and plenty of room for family and guests. The main level features open-concept living, while the primary suite is privately located upstairs.

Additional highlights include a fenced backyard with automatic gate, HVAC replaced in 2020, and roof and exterior paint completed in 2022.

Bahia Bay also offers a community boat launch, docks and picnic area. Leave the car at home—bike or take the golf cart to nearby shopping centers, grocery stores, restaurants and everyday conveniences, all just minutes away. With quick access to I-77, shopping, dining, Birkdale Village and everything Cornelius and Lake Norman have to offer, this location is hard to beat.
