The Lake Norman-area town of Denver in Catawba County is perfect for the person or family who wants a more rural, slower paced life. If a luxury home in a gated community is high on your list of priorities then Denver’s Pebble Bay might be the right place for you!
The neighborhood of luxury custom homes is located on a peninsula off Catawba Burris Road on the northwestern shores of Lake Norman.
Just south of NC 150, Pebble Bay has most daily necessities within a few minutes drive, however, major shopping areas such as Birkdale or Northlake Mall are 12 miles to 15 miles away.
I-485 is about 19 miles south on Highway 16. From there, I-85 or I-77 are easily accessible, with metro Charlotte only 29 miles from Pebble Bay; a commute may take 40 minutes without heavy traffic.
The beautiful North Carolina mountains are also only a few hours away. Highway 16 is the fastest route north to I-40 – only 30 minutes.
Pebble Bay is centered around luxury lakeside living, and its large lots and beautiful custom homes emphasize that. Home sites vary but are largely an acre to more than 4 acres in size.
The community is a 5-phase project. Some of the homes were built in the early 2000s, while there are still new construction homes available. One phase of construction in Pebble Bay was devoted entirely to all-log construction.
Residents have access to community docks for day use, and there is a resident boat ramp for interior lot owners to use to launch boats. Additionally, Lake Norman Marina is just across the water from the neighborhood for convenient boat maintenance or fuel stops.
Homes in Pebble Bay are priced across the board from the $300,000s to more than $2 million, depending on the level of custom build. Sizes vary a great deal as well, with some in the 3,000-square-foot range to upwards of 9,000 square feet.
A total of 16 homes in Pebble Bay sold in the last 12-month period. The average sales price for the neighborhood was $479,463 and $140 per square foot.
There are 19 homes listed for sale in Pebble Bay, and 2 are under contract as of July 24.
Only 2 of the homes listed are new construction. There are 5 properties listed above $1 million, all of which are waterfront.
Pebble Bay is zoned for Catawba County’s Sherrills Ford Elementary School, Mill Creek Middle School and Bandys High School.
