118 Sandpiper Dr, Macon, NC, 27551

The most striking element of 118 Sandpiper Dr is visible before you even step inside: a grandfathered double boathouse that provides more covered dock and storage area than current regulations allow — a rare, value-driving feature on Lake Gaston. This waterfront residence is laid out to celebrate those water views. The home's lake level is the social center, where a completely remodeled, brand-new kitchen anchors a spacious family room framed by large windows and direct access to the outdoors.

Arrive to a practical main level with comfortable bedroom spaces that make it easy to drop bags and start enjoying lake life right away. Downstairs, the open family area and kitchen create an easy entertaining sequence: cook at the new countertops and appliances, gather in the adjoining living area, then walk out to the screened waterfront porch for dinner or an evening unwind beside the water. The porch functions as an extension of the living space — protected, airy, and oriented toward the lake.

Thoughtful updates and everyday conveniences are woven throughout: the remodeled kitchen brings contemporary finishes into a home built in 1989, while in-unit laundry and central A/C provide modern comfort. With 1,636 finished square feet arranged across functional levels, the home balances a compact footprint with purposeful design, making it well-suited for seasonal lake use or full-time living.

Outside, the property’s direct lake access and generous boathouse set it apart from most Lake Gaston listings. Those features translate into immediate lifestyle value — effortless boating, convenient storage, and an expansive waterfront set-up that most new buyers cannot replicate under current permitting. Whether you’re hosting friends after a day on the water or seeking a quieter retreat, this house is arranged to make lakeside living easy and enjoyable. Visit the Redfin listing to view photos and schedule a showing — this rare boathouse plus remodeled lake-level living is the kind of waterfront opportunity that spends little time on the market.

Set on Lake Gaston’s shoreline, the Sandpiper Drive enclave offers the low-key, water-focused lifestyle buyers seek: morning launches from your own access point, long summer days spent on the water, and evenings on a screened porch overlooking the lake. The immediate area is residential and tranquil, oriented to boating and outdoor living rather than dense commercial activity. Local marinas and lakeside conveniences are a short drive away, while small nearby towns provide essentials, dining, and seasonal events that contribute to the relaxed community feel.
