About this home
Rarely does an opportunity like this present itself—approximately 65 acres of rolling countryside in one of the most untouched and naturally beautiful areas of Lincoln County. Perfectly positioned just 4–6 miles from downtown Lincolnton, this property offers an exceptional balance of privacy, scale, and accessibility. The property has a 60' easement to access adjoining acreage that is already approved for a 104 acre subdivision with large lots. With a blend of open fields and mature wooded acreage, the land lends itself to a variety of uses—from a thoughtfully designed residential development to a private estate or multi-generational homestead. The natural topography provides multiple potential homesites, scenic views, and the kind of peaceful setting that is increasingly hard to find. Despite its secluded feel, the property remains conveniently connected. Located just a few miles from Lincolnton’s revitalized downtown—home to a growing selection of restaurants, shops, and local amenities—and within easy reach of Charlotte, Lake Norman, and several area golf courses, this location appeals to both end users and developers seeking long-term value. An existing home on the property is currently leased on a month-to-month basis for $1,250 per month, offering immediate income while future plans are explored. The home is serviced by septic, and county water is available, enhancing the property's flexibility and development potential. Whether you envision a private estate, equestrian property, family compound, or a strategic investment in one of the region’s emerging growth corridors, this property offers a rare combination of acreage, location, and opportunity.

R-S
Residential Suburban District
Established to encourage residential type development in portions of the County where one or more public utilities are currently in service or are anticipated to be installed in the future, residential subdivision development is somewhat more likely in this district than in the R-R or R-T districts. Given that residential will be the major use of land in this area, careful attention must be given to the list of nonresidential uses which can take place in order to maximize aesthetics and the overall quality of life in such areas.
