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).
