Lake Norman | The Sarver Group Real Estate

LAKE NORMAN
Just 20 minutes from the heart of Charlotte, the beautiful Lake Norman area is known as the “Inland Sea.” With more than 520 miles of shoreline, the lake was formed in the 1960s when Duke Power dammed the Catawba River to create a power plant. Today, the largest manmade lake in North Carolina touches four counties (Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln and Mecklenburg), with endless possibilities for finding your new home.
While it started as a weekend resort area for Charlotte residents, today Lake Norman features real estate communities with hundreds of homes ranging from small lake cottages to multi-million dollar lakefront mansions. With interstates 77 and 40 close by, travel to uptown Charlotte, the mountains and the beaches is easy and convenient.

You can catch catfish, crappie, bluegill and yellow perch, plus striped, largemouth and white bass, along with turtles. Lake Norman hosts one of the International Jet Sport Boats Association (IJSBA) tour stops. Team Tweek, a race team headquartered in Mooresville, helps promote and coordinate the annual event. There also is the Lake Norman Yacht Club, which hosts many South Atlantic Yacht Racing Association (SAYRA) sailboat races throughout the year.
