Full‑Brick Ranch on 6.89 Acres — Workshop‑Ready & Private
This solid all‑brick ranch sits on nearly seven usable acres just west of Statesville — a rare combination of single‑level living, generous interior space and true acreage. The home provides approximately 2,962 square feet on one level with a partial basement that’s already set up for storage, a workshop, or conversion into additional living space. The brick exterior and original mid‑century floorplan create a durable, low‑maintenance shell while the interior presents immediate livability and clear upside for selective modern updates.
Enter through a covered carport into a broad foyer and living areas arranged for ease of movement. The heart of the home centers on a practical kitchen with electric range/oven and dishwasher, adjacent casual dining and roomy family spaces. Three bedrooms and 2.5 baths are positioned to offer privacy; the primary suite sits apart from secondary bedrooms to accommodate a flexible lifestyle. Mechanical systems include a heat pump and central air — functional and efficient for the home’s footprint.
Outside, the nearly 7‑acre parcel offers a mix of open fields and specimen trees, creating space for gardens, horses, playgrounds, or hobby farming. The partially finished basement is a standout feature for buyers who need a dedicated workshop, storage, or the potential to finish for additional square footage. With county water on site and septic installed, utilities support daily life without the complications of well drilling.
This property attracts a specific buyer: someone who values land, durability, and room to expand. It’s an excellent fit for those seeking weekend equestrian use, a multigenerational household, or buyers relocating from the Charlotte metro who want acreage within a reasonable commute. Schedule a private showing to walk the fields, inspect the basement/workshop space, and understand the potential that comes with owning 6.89 acres in West Iredell.

The West Iredell area is rural-residential with a mix of mid-century ranches, modern acreage homes, and small farms. Properties here tend to offer larger lots and a quieter pace than in-town Statesville, while still providing access to schools, local services, and regional highways for commuting. Buyers value the combination of privacy, usable land, and proximity to Lake Norman and Charlotte-area employment centers.
Strong access to outdoor recreation — open fields on-site plus Lake Norman and local trails within a 20‑minute drive.
A factual market snapshot around 270 Lewis Ferry Rd.
Iredell County and the Statesville market have been steady, with continued buyer interest in properties that offer land and privacy within reach of Charlotte’s commuter corridor. Median sale prices county-wide sit notably below Charlotte proper, but acreage and brick construction command premiums within the local market. Inventory for single-family homes tightened over the past year, lifting prices by mid‑single digits; however, larger‑lot homes typically take longer to sell and require targeted marketing to buyers seeking acreage or hobby‑farm opportunities. This home’s list price of $509,900 positions it competitively against other acreage brick homes; a modest interior refresh will widen buyer interest and potentially shorten marketing time.
Likely residential/agricultural zoning permitting single-family dwellings and accessory agricultural uses (small farm, outbuildings).
