Updated 3BR/2BA Double-Wide on Nearly 1-Acre with Workshop & Pool
This well-updated double-wide offers practical living and serious workspace on nearly one acre just outside Maiden. Inside the 1,352 SF footprint you’ll find three bedrooms and two full baths in a thoughtful floor plan the seller refreshed about five years ago. Ceiling fans are installed in every bedroom and the living area, and the interior condition is reported as clean and updated — a turnkey option for buyers who want to avoid a major rehab.
The property’s real standout features are outside: a detached workshop equipped with a car lift provides a ready shop for a mechanic, hobbyist or small contractor, while multiple covered carports include an RV/boat carport and an additional expansive carport that seller notes can hold up to a dozen vehicles. A separate storage shed adds practical capacity for lawn equipment and seasonal gear.
A fenced/defined in-ground pool sits on the lot; it currently requires a new liner and servicing of the pool system (the pool system is located beneath a well cover nearby). The large, level cleared yard offers room for gardening, outdoor projects, or expansion — rare in this price band. Utilities and systems should be verified (seller references a well and implied septic typical of the area).
Located approximately 45 minutes to Charlotte and minutes to Hickory and Lake Hickory, this property is ideal for buyers who want acreage, a dedicated shop, and covered equipment storage without paying city prices. No HOA. Schedule a viewing to assess the workshop and outdoor amenities and discuss how this setup can support your lifestyle or business.

4621 Buffalo Shoals Rd, Maiden, NC 28650
This part of Maiden is rural and residential with a mix of manufactured and site-built homes on larger lots. The character is low-density and hobby-oriented — you'll find workshops, hobby farms, and properties set up for boating or recreational vehicles. Commuter-friendly to Hickory and Charlotte for those who need city access but prefer country living.
Good access to Lake Norman and Lake Hickory within a 30–40 minute drive, plus local trails and outdoor opportunities in the Catawba/Hickory region.
A factual market snapshot around 4621 Buffalo Shoals Rd.
Maiden and surrounding Catawba County offer more affordable housing compared with the core Charlotte metro while providing reasonable commute times for people working in Hickory, Denver, Mooresville or Charlotte. The market for rural manufactured homes remains steady: buyers value lot size and outbuildings, especially when a property includes usable workspace like a shop with a lift. Inventory in these exurban corridors tends to be limited, giving well-configured properties quicker sales. Median sale price for the broader area is higher than this listing, which places this home competitively for owner-occupiers and investors focused on cashflow or specialized buyers (mechanics, RV owners). Expect moderate buyer interest from local and regional buyers; days-on-market tends to be in the multi-week range but well-priced and turnkey niche properties can sell faster.
