New 3BR/2BA Custom Home with Boat Slip on Kerr Lake
What sets 117 Pool Rock Ln apart is immediate access to Kerr Lake — this custom-built, newly completed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home includes a boat slip in the community dock and sits on a generous 0.6-acre parcel in Pool Rock Plantation. From the rocking-chair front porch you’ll see why this location was chosen for weekend escapes and daily enjoyment: the community waterfront is literally minutes away, yet the property retains the quiet, treed feel of lakeside living.
Step inside to 2,419 square feet of thoughtfully appointed living space. High ceilings create an airy presence across the main level where a large kitchen with modern appliances anchors family gatherings. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs through common areas, and a fireplace and an expansive wall of windows frame seasonal views of the lawn and woodland beyond. The floorplan was built for flexible living — comfortable bedroom suites, well-sized closets, and two full baths finished in clean, contemporary materials.
Outdoor living is a major part of the package here. The half-acre lot gives room for backyard relaxation, gardening, or future outdoor enhancements. The driveway provides parking for six vehicles, making it easy to host family and friends before heading to the dock for boating or fishing. Practical infrastructure includes central AC, electric forced-air heat, architectural shingle roof and the expected rural utilities — well water and septic — typical for this desirable lakeside corridor.
This home is priced at $575,000 (about $238 per square foot), reflecting new-construction quality plus the value of lake-access and community amenities. Buyers should note community dock regulations and any associated fees, and verify septic/well maintenance needs as part of the due diligence. For someone seeking a move-in-ready primary residence with recreational upside — or a lakeside weekend retreat with rental potential — 117 Pool Rock Ln is a rare contemporary option within easy reach of Henderson’s dining, shopping and the Henderson Country Club.

A factual market snapshot around 117 Pool Rock Ln.
The local market remains firmly in sellers’ territory: inventory sits near 2.5 months and homes in this corridor average roughly 30 days on market. Median sale price across the area is about $250,000, but the strongest demand is concentrated in new construction and properties offering lake access — both factors that support premium pricing. Recent appreciation is measured (approximately +5% over 12 months and around +20% over five years), and comparable new builds with similar finishes indicate a price-per-square-foot that supports this listing’s $575,000 asking price (~$238/sqft).
Single-family homes with Kerr Lake access perform better than inland equivalents because buyers prioritize recreational amenities and limited slip availability. With low inventory, motivated buyers should expect competition; however, this also sustains resale strength for sellers who can demonstrate reliable dock access. Average days on market and an estimated rental ceiling (roughly $2,500/month based on local comps) suggest both owner-occupant and investor interest. Prospective purchasers should verify dock rules, any HOA or community fees, and service requirements for well and septic systems during contract negotiations.
