Templeton Estates Homes for Sale

Community Highlights

Templeton Estates is a small Lake Norman waterfront enclave where boating access shapes the character of the neighborhood. Every recorded MLS sale in the subdivision is tied to waterfront exposure, and the homes are marketed around private docks, deeded boat slips, protected coves, and wide water views rather than a shared amenity package. Most recorded sales sit on Sumter Drive, giving the community a compact footprint with the shoreline as its defining edge.

Homes here were built from 1995 to 2006, and the listings lean heavily toward custom design. Brick appears often, though the architecture is not uniform: the remarks also reference stone-front detailing, European and Tuscan influences, ranch plans with bonus rooms, and larger two-story homes. Main-level primary suites, home offices, wet bars, open living areas, fireplaces, and granite kitchens show up repeatedly, and every recorded property includes a garage. Basements are less common, appearing in roughly one-fifth of the sales.

Lot size is another clear part of the appeal. Published lot dimensions range from about 27,878 to 38,332 square feet, while the community average is roughly 0.74 acres. Mature landscaping, hardwood trees, cul-de-sac placement, and private rear yards give many homes a more secluded feel than tighter lakefront subdivisions. Several properties pair that privacy with screened porches, expansive decks, patios, fire pits, and, on select homes, private pool and spa installations.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Templeton Estates centers on direct lake use. Some homes include deeded slips at nearby access lots, others feature private docks or lifts, and the remarks regularly emphasize easy transitions from house to yard to shoreline. That makes waterfront living, boating convenience, and view-oriented outdoor space the neighborhood's most consistent lifestyle themes.

The homes themselves support that pattern with flexible square footage and specialized rooms. Three-car garages appear in several of the waterfront trades, and bonus rooms, lofts, exercise rooms, workshops, and lower-level secondary kitchens all appear in the larger plans. Even the smaller sales lean into porches, sunrooms, and outdoor entertaining areas aimed at the water.
