Tucked inside the gated community of Lakeside Reserve, Lot 89 at 2960 Jumping Run is the kind of property that makes you pause for a second… because this is why people move here. This is a true lakefront homesite on Lake Rhodhiss, offering the opportunity to build a home where the view isn’t just part of the experience—it is the experience. Picture mornings on your back porch with coffee in hand, watching the water instead of your phone. Afternoons spent kayaking straight from your backyard. Evenings where the sun drops over the lake and everything just slows down. Lakeside Reserve is known for its peaceful, tucked-away feel, where nature leads and noise takes a back seat. It’s the kind of place where weekends aren’t filled with errands—they’re spent on the water, by the fire pit, or hosting friends who suddenly want to visit a lot more often. And while it feels like a true escape, you’re still connected. Charlotte is about an hour away, making it easy to head in for work, dining, or a game—and then come home to quiet. Nearby towns like Hickory and Morganton give you everyday convenience without the traffic and pace of a larger city. This lot gives you the flexibility to build exactly what you want—whether that’s a full-time lake home, a second home, or a long-term investment. Room for outdoor living, space to create your own dock (per community guidelines), and a setting that simply doesn’t get old. If you’ve been searching for a place where life feels a little slower, a little quieter, and a lot more intentional—this is it. Lake life starts here. Water provided by Icard Township Water Corp (community system). Septic required. Lot is sloping so it could support a basement or high crawl space when building.

Amazing opportunity to purchase a lot in the beautiful, gated Paradise Harbor community located along Lake Rhodhiss. 1318 Sunset Point Drive is located well off one of the main roads allowing for increased seclusion and privacy. As one of the best lots for new construction in the community, 1318 Sunset Point Drive provides a natural elevated flat pad for a custom home before gently sloping toward the rear providing for a view of the lake. With a septic permit already approved for 4-beds and 4-baths, once building plans are approved by the association and permits are obtained through the county, building your dream home will be that much more expedited. Enjoy the convenience of a deeded boat slip for the perfect lake life scenario. Paradise Harbor offers secured gate access, boat & RV storage, nature and wildlife, and a community area with picnic tables, a firepit, and grills to enjoy overlooking the lake.
