This property’s most compelling asset is the land: a level, private 2.61-acre parcel in Windover Creek that gives this 1997 manufactured home uncommon upside. The single-story footprint offers 980 square feet of living space configured as three bedrooms and two bathrooms; the structure sits on well and septic utilities, capped with a metal roof and basic mechanicals (space heater for heat, window units for cooling). Driveway parking for two and immediate vacant access make the house convenient for contractors and investors.
Inside and out the home requires significant repair and a full renovation to unlock value. The layout and manufactured construction are straightforward to adapt — whether you plan a cosmetic rehab to resell or a more substantial remodel. Comparable sales in the immediate area show there is appetite for upgraded doublewides and renovated homes on modest lots, and this parcel’s size positions it differently: room to add outbuildings, amenities, or even explore redevelopment options subject to R-40 zoning and county approvals.
Location-wise the site is quietly rural but not remote: Riverbend Park is roughly 2.5 miles away and Lake Hickory about 3 miles, so recreational boating, trails and open green space are close at hand. The property is inside the Catawba County Schools attendance area (Oxford Elementary, River Bend Middle, Bunker Hill High), and it sits within the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton MSA — a market that has shown modest appreciation over five years.
Financially, public records show a 2025 assessed value of $108,500 and annual taxes of $499. A sales-comparison valuation range for a property in this condition has been estimated between $90,000 and $110,000, with a midpoint near $100,000. Prospective buyers should verify the extent and cost of repairs with a licensed inspector and consult the county regarding any redevelopment potential. Because the home is vacant and accessible, it’s an attractive candidate for investors, contractors, or buyers who need a project with substantial land value.
This is a clear fixer-upper opportunity: substantial lot, straightforward access, close-to-water recreation, and a pricing band that reflects significant work required. Schedule a site visit and inspection to evaluate scope, costs, and creative uses for the large parcel — from a renovated primary residence to an investment flip or longer-term development plan (zoning permitting).
Windover Creek is a quiet, rural neighborhood within Catawba County that appeals to buyers seeking space and proximity to outdoor amenities. Residents benefit from easy access to Riverbend Park and Lake Hickory for boating, fishing and trail recreation, while Rock Barn Country Club provides nearby golf and spa services. The community is commuter-friendly to the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton employment centers and retains a small-town character—broad lots, low-density development and a mix of manufactured and site-built homes. Families should weigh local public-school ratings and private-school options when considering long-term residence.
Local conditions in the Claremont/Windover Creek area currently favor buyers. Inventory sits near 3.5 months and average days on market are around 76, which gives buyers negotiating leverage—particularly for properties requiring heavy repairs. Median sale price in the broader area is roughly $242,450, with modest year-over-year appreciation near 2% and five-year growth around 10%. Manufactured and mobile homes often trade at lower price-per-square-foot levels than site-built houses and can face financing constraints, so they traditionally attract cash buyers and investors. Recent comparable sales nearby include well-maintained doublewides and renovated homes that fetched $199k–$285k, but those properties were larger and in better condition. For this 3BR/2BA manufactured home on 2.61 acres, the market-comparison valuation range is $90k–$110k. Given the current market and the property’s condition, this is a strategic window for an investor or renovation-minded buyer to acquire land-rich inventory at a discount; however, allow additional time for marketing and be prepared to verify repair budgets, permitting timelines, and zoning limitations.
