DOCK APPROVED, BUILDER-INSTALLATION SCHEDULED FOR LATE OCTOBER 2026, AND CONVEYING WITH THE HOME. Where thoughtful design, custom craftsmanship, and true lakefront living come together effortlessly, this 2026 new-construction modern farmhouse is set on a private, wooded ~1.5-acre waterfront homesite in the gated Paradise Harbor community on Lake Rhodhiss.

Framed by tall pines, the home showcases sea-glass blue-green board-and-batten and lap siding with white trim, a stone base, dark architectural shingle roof, barn-style light fixtures, and a welcoming covered entry. Enjoy direct water access with a 6-ft-wide concrete path winding through the trees from the home down to the lakeshore — easily traveled by golf cart or electric vehicle.

Inside, a light-filled two-story great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace. Ten-foot main-level ceilings, engineered hardwood, and decorative wood beams create a warm, custom feel throughout. The open chef’s kitchen is a showstopper with quartz waterfall island, walk-in pantry, gas range, luxury matte-white GE Café appliance package, and a wet bar with wine/beverage cooler. The kitchen, dining area, great room, primary suite, and screened rear porch all enjoy beautiful lake views.

A delightful surprise in the main-level living area: a whimsical built-in, house-shaped nook with interior lighting — perfect as a cozy pet nook, children’s toy nook, or playful hideaway.

The main level centers on a private owner’s suite overlooking the lake, offering a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, private water closet, and generous walk-in closet. Also on the main level: dedicated study/office, mud room, full guest bath, and laundry room with built-in pet shower.

Upstairs, 9-ft ceilings continue through three bedrooms, a large open loft, and a second laundry room. Two bedrooms share a stylish Jack-and-Jill bath, while the third enjoys a private bath and walk-in closet. Quartz vanities, LED lighting, and custom white-melamine wood shelving throughout — no wire shelving here.

Outdoors, relax on the screened rear porch with lake views, gather around the fire pit on the stamped-concrete patio, and enjoy a side-entry two-car garage with wood-look doors, insulated walls, and comfortable side parking.

Built with the details that matter: dual electric heat-pump HVAC systems, owned buried propane tank serving the range, fireplace, and water heater, installed electric generator, hot-water recirculation system, certified radon mitigation system, fully automated irrigation, and switched exterior outlets at all four corners for easy holiday lighting.

Ideally located minutes to I-40 between Morganton and Hickory, and about an hour from Charlotte, Asheville, and Blowing Rock. A rare opportunity to own a custom lakefront home on Lake Rhodhiss. Square footage approximate; buyer to verify. Schedule your private showing today.
