3830 Mill Run, Terrell, NC, 28682

What first arrests you at 3830 Mill Run is the sweep of water framed by mature plantings and a protected cove — a rare combination of privacy and direct Lake Norman access on nearly an acre. This custom, new-construction residence was designed to take full advantage of its waterfront setting: generous sightlines from the grand two-story entry and the dramatic great room create a living experience that is both open and intimately connected to the shoreline beyond.

The heart of the home is a well-proportioned gourmet kitchen finished with quartz countertops, an oversized island, stainless steel appliances, a pot filler, and an eye-catching tile backsplash. Custom lighting accents and a walk-in pantry with built-in shelving make the space practical for everyday meals and large gatherings alike. A formal dining room sits adjacent to the great room under soaring ceilings, creating an elegant backdrop for dinner parties or holiday entertaining.

Privacy and comfort were prioritized in the main-level owner’s retreat: a luxe en suite bath, a large walk-in closet with custom shelving, and direct access to a covered deck where evenings on the lake feel like a private performance. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms include an especially generous fourth bedroom that works beautifully as a bonus room, media space, or guest suite.

Outdoor living is integral to the design. The property features rip-rap shoreline and a deep-water cove with convenient routing to the main channel — ideal for boating, paddle sports, or simply watching sun-silvered afternoons on the water. Expansive covered decks extend living spaces outdoors while preserving year-round usability. Thoughtful finishes, scale, and orientation make this home a low-maintenance, high-amenity waterfront option for buyers seeking new construction on Lake Norman.
