See 4-acre Lake Norman waterfront estate for sale on a secluded, wooded ridge

Rich and Lori Campe love the serenity, seclusion and 360-degree views of Lake Norman on their four-acre waterfront estate.

They enjoy the elevated “memory garden,” whose stone path leads to a fire pit where they watch the sun rise and set. 

They’ve found the garden perfect “for both quiet reflection and memorable entertaining,” Hasnaa Abitol, the Coldwell Banker Realty agent who listed the estate, told The Charlotte Observer on Friday.

They are now selling their estate for $5.3 million, as they focus on their investment portfolio in Saint Simons Island, Georgia, Abitol said in an email.

On a private, wooded ridge in the 9100 block of Greenwood Road, their home in Terrell, Catawba County, includes 1,200 feet of shoreline.

The couple hosted countless gatherings in their 5,200-square-foot, Mediterranean-style home about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte.
