Colony Harbor Homes for Sale

Community Highlights

Colony Harbor is a compact Lake Norman neighborhood in Sherrills Ford where the water sets the tone. Homes line Harbor Lane with lake access, long-range views, and a mix of shoreline living options that range from more modest access homes to a top-end waterfront residence. Current pricing centers in the mid-$300,000s, while standout lakefront homes can reach well above $1.6 million.

The housing stock is anchored by early-1980s builds, especially 1982 and 1983 homes, with a smaller number of later additions and substantial updates. Three-bedroom, two-bath layouts are the core pattern, though two-bedroom cottages and a larger 3-bedroom, 3-bath plan also appear. Construction is mixed rather than uniform: brick shows up on some homes, while other properties lean into cottage, ranch, or more traditional lake-house forms.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Waterfront access is the defining feature here. Lake Norman views, deeded or shared access, private docks, piers, and a community boat ramp shape the neighborhood identity. Outdoor living is part of the design language, with decks, screened porches, patios, sunrooms, and covered spaces used to frame the water. Many homes also include finished basements or lower levels, which add rec room, storage, and workshop space. Garages and carports appear as well, though not on every property.

Interior finishes are practical and often updated. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, newer roofs, replacement windows, updated HVAC systems, and fresh paint show up alongside vaulted ceilings and open floor plans. Mature trees and gently sloping lots give several homes a sense of separation from the road and help preserve the lake outlook.
