Discover the opportunity to own 1.32 private waterfront acres on peaceful Duck Cove Road at Lake Wylie. Less than one mile from the new proposed Publix Grocery on New Hope Road, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and natural beauty. Surrounded by nearby prestigious communities, including the luxury homes of McLean and Reflection Pointe, with new off water home communities under construction, you'll enjoy an exceptional location —making this a rare opportunity to create your own waterfront dream home. Whether you're looking to renovate the existing home or live comfortably while planning your custom lakefront residence, this property offers outstanding potential. Tucked away on the Catawba River at Lake Wylie, you'll enjoy a private nature sanctuary where blue herons, egrets, Red-tailed Hawks, and deer are frequent visitors. The calm, glass-like waters provide the perfect setting for morning coffee, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply unwinding while surrounded by the beauty of the lake. As the seasons change, the cove offers an ever-changing natural landscape, creating a front-row seat to the beauty and rhythm of Lake Wylie. With no HOA, you'll have the freedom to make the property your own. The generous 1.32-acre homesite provides ample space for your vision while preserving privacy, and the grandfathered dock (in need of repair) offers a connection to the lake that enhances this unique waterfront setting. Rarely does an opportunity combine the privacy of a nature retreat with the convenience of nearby shopping, luxury neighborhoods, and the chance to build a custom waterfront home in one of Lake Wylie's most desirable and rapidly growing areas. Sold AS IS. Septic permit is for two bedrooms. Rear portions of finished basement are under 7ft in height and are therefore not included in square footage. American Home Shield Warranty is provided.
Garden, located between Franklin Boulevard and the South Fork Catawba River, is a residential and civic Gastonia neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and leafy park edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Franklin Blvd corridor near the Gastonia Farmers Market, where produce stalls, small food counters, and weekday errands set a steady rhythm. Nearby, the Schiele Museum of Natural History & Planetarium anchors local culture with hands-on exhibits and a wooded campus. Lineberger Park adds ballfields, walking loops, and shaded lawns that shape daily routines. Housing trends toward brick one-stories and tidy lots, with pockets of older cottages closer to downtown. Greenway access along the river gives the area a grounded, outdoors-forward feel.

R-1
Single-Family Limited
The purpose of this district is to accommodate single-family site built and modular construction. The minimum lot size allowed in this district will be dependent on the provision of public or community water and sewer facilities. Although areas may be served with such utilities, most of these areas are located beyond existing or anticipated utility service coverage areas. The minimum lot size for residential uses in this district is therefore larger than in other residential zoning districts.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Educational / school
