Welcome to Mountain Island Lake

Mountain Island Lake is a lake northwest of Charlotte, North Carolina created in 1924 to coincide with the building of Mountain Island Hydroelectric Station. It is named after the mountain which appears as an island in the lake, and the surrounding area is identified by the lake’s name. The shape of the lake follows the meander of the Catawba River’s course, dammed near the Mount Holly Wastewater Plant. Full pond elevation is approximately 647.5 feet (197 m). The lake has around 3,281 acres (13 km2) of surface area and 61 miles (98 km) of shoreline.

Mountain Island Lake is fed by the Catawba River, and is the smallest of the three man-made lakes that border Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Lake Norman, and Lake Wylie). Mountain Island Lake is managed by Charlotte-based company Duke Energy. The primary function of Mountain Island Lake is to provide drinking water for over 1 million residents of Charlotte and surrounding Mecklenburg County, as well as Mount Holly and Gastonia in Gaston County. The lake is also accessible to the public for boating and fishing use. There are three boating access areas on the lake and a tailrace fishing platform for bank fishing in cooperation with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

An amazing price for a gorgeous home in a beautiful lakefront neighborhood? What more could you ask for?? This one is a rare find, offered at a price that leaves room for your vision. Imagine strolling along tree-lined sidewalks for your evening walk, or heading to Food Truck Tuesdays, grabbing dinner, and taking it to the lakefront park after a friendly game of tennis or pickleball. Spend weekends roasting s’mores in the backyard after a round of cornhole in your very own cornhole pit. Inside, this home isn’t weighed down by bold wallpaper, avocado-green bathrooms, or HGTV-inspired experiments gone wrong. Instead, you’ll find a blank canvas: clean lines, solid bones, and plenty of potential to create a space that truly feels like yours. Move in now and start enjoying all the neighborhood offers, then update over time at your own pace. Whether you’re dreaming of a gourmet kitchen, modern touches, or just a home that doesn’t scream “previous owner’s personality,” this property gives you the freedom to customize without paying a premium for someone else’s “interesting” design choices. Note: Kitchen and Bonus Room/Optional 5th Sleeping Room have been virtually renovated to show room for potential — original photos are included for comparison. In short: a smart price, a great neighborhood, and a home ready for your imagination (without any crazy distractions).
