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.
