This exceptional property at 4232 Sigmon Cove in Terrell, North Carolina, combines expansive water views, established lake access, and the opportunity to create a home tailored to your lifestyle. The proposed AR Homes residence offers an inspiring starting point rather than a fixed design.

This flexibility allows buyers to create a truly personalized Lake Norman retreat without compromising on location, views, or direct water access. A particularly valuable feature is the **existing private dock already in place**.

Just bring your lake toys - this special spot is ready for instant enjoyment. Ideally situated at the junction of desirable Terrell, Sherrills Ford and Mooresville areas, this unique property offers the privacy and beauty of waterfront living while remaining convenient to shopping, dining, recreation, and everyday amenities in both **Sherrills Ford and Mooresville**. Exceptional water views, an existing dock, and the freedom to design a custom luxury home make this a rare opportunity in the Lake Norman real estate market. **This is a proposed home-and-land offering. Final pricing, plans, specifications, allowances, site-development costs, construction timing, and builder agreement will depend upon the buyer’s selections and due diligence. Buyers may work with AR Homes or select an alternate builder. Renderings and plans are conceptual and may depict optional features or upgrades.** Also listed as Land Only: MLS 4405004
