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.

A truly rare offering along the Catawba River, this remarkable approximately 109+/-acre tract presents an exceptional opportunity for both estate buyers and long-term land investors seeking privacy, water frontage, and scale in one of Western North Carolina’s most desirable natural corridors. Properties of this size with direct river frontage are increasingly scarce, making this tract a standout acquisition for those who understand the long-term value of land. The property offers an impressive combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and versatility. Predominantly wooded with logging roads already in place, the land provides a private and peaceful setting ideal for a luxury estate, generational family compound, or recreational retreat, while still offering meaningful upside for investors looking to land-bank or hold a unique riverfront asset. The expansive acreage allows for multiple potential homesites, trails, and recreational uses without sacrificing privacy or views. The Catawba River frontage adds a distinctive and irreplaceable element—offering scenic views, natural buffers, and recreational enjoyment such as kayaking, fishing, and wildlife observation. Riverfront land of this scale provides not only lifestyle appeal, but also long-term intrinsic value that is increasingly difficult to replicate due to environmental protections and limited supply. There are no known easements, encroachments, or conservation restrictions currently affecting the property, and no known severance of timber, mineral, or development rights, allowing future owners flexibility in how the land is utilized. A survey/plat is available, with acreage reported at approximately 109 acres, supporting clarity for due diligence and planning. Utilities such as electric service, water access, cable, and high-speed internet are available nearby, enhancing the feasibility of estate development while maintaining the property’s rural character. As typical with land of this nature, septic evaluations should be completed during the buyer’s due diligence period. Whether you are an estate buyer seeking a once-in-a-generation riverfront setting or an investor recognizing the long-term value of large-acreage Catawba River land, this property delivers a rare blend of privacy, water frontage, and future potential. Opportunities like this are increasingly limited—secure your position in one of the region’s most enduring natural assets.
