Lots and Land in Gabriel Acres
Community Highlights
Gabriel Acres is a Lake Norman waterfront enclave on Kiser Island in Terrell, where shoreline access and long water views define the setting. The community leans into large-lot living, with recorded parcels running from about 0.47 acre to 1.45 acres and several homes positioned for sunset views, cove frontage, and direct lake access.
The shoreline is the main draw. One lot is described with 329 feet of waterfront, a grandfathered boathouse and ramp, and flat private land. Another home pairs a covered boatslip and pier with a wraparound maintenance-free deck, while others highlight expansive porches, huge decks, and water views from multiple rooms. The oldest recorded home dates to 1966, the newest to 1998, and the mix of ranch plans, an A-frame, and later additions gives the neighborhood a lived-in waterfront character rather than a uniform newer-build feel.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Garages and basements are common, and several homes add workshops, bonus rooms, or lower-level living space. Open floor plans, vaulted great rooms, fireplaces, granite counters, stainless appliances, and main-level or attached garages appear throughout the descriptions. Exterior materials are mixed rather than uniform, with brick, stone accents, and vinyl trim all showing up in the record.
Several properties are marketed without HOA dues, and the peninsula setting keeps the focus on lake access, boating, and outdoor time. The most distinctive addresses pair shoreline depth with practical features such as boat ramps, pier access, and generous storage for water gear.
