Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 23-acre waterfront property on Lake Hickory in Conover, NC, is zoned PD and currently used as a fully functioning Boys Academy campus. The existing campus includes 12 buildings, featuring 35 bedrooms and 28 bathrooms, and is designed to accommodate approximately 65 overnight residents and up to 140 daytime occupants. Supporting facilities include a central dining hall, residential and administrative structures, a publicly operating zipline with dedicated facilities, a floating dock, a beach area, and a graveled 3/4+ mile walking trail around the lake. The property has approximately 3/4 mile of Lake Hickory shoreline and established internal circulation and utilities. Existing vertical improvements allow for adaptive reuse, income generation, or phased redevelopment. The property has a proven operational history as both an academy campus and a short-term rental / Airbnb property. Catawba County Planning staff could support this property being rezoned as Residential R-40. The current Boys Academy use provides clear evidence of density tolerance, utility capacity, and access. The site is well-suited for luxury lakefront estates, a secluded residential enclave, destination retreat, wellness or education-based reuse, or continuation of institutional operations. Strategically located near Hickory, Mooresville, and the greater Charlotte region, this offering represents a high-barrier-to-entry waterfront asset with both near-term income potential and long-term development upside. The property is suitable for possible future premium waterfront homesites.

Key Highlights

  • 23+ acre waterfront property with approximately 3/4 mile of Lake Hickory shoreline.
  • Existing campus infrastructure with 12 buildings, 35 bedrooms, and 28 bathrooms, suitable for adaptive reuse or phased redevelopment.
