Not all Waterfront Lots Can Have Piers
In newer subdivisions, you must have at
least 75 feet of shoreline. A representative from Duke Energy must approve
all piers and docks. There are restrictions on the square footage of
your dock, the length and how far into a cove your dock can extend.
Give us a call for more information on these restrictions.
Your Boat Maybe Too Tall
If you own a large power boat or a sailboat, it
should be important to know the clearance of the bridges around Lake Norman.
Below are some measurements, at full pond.
- Perth Road 5’3”
- Kale Road 5’6”
- Cornelius 4’0”
- Mount Pleasant 5’5”
- Hwy 150 at Mountain Creek 5’9”

Where is your Waterfront Property
Line?
It's Not ALWAYS at the Shoreline
Surveys are important in every real estate transaction.
Encroachments, easements, existing well and septic tanks could interfere
with your plans. It is recommended that you always review a survey before
closing. If you property is at the 760 degree elevation, Duke Energy publishes
a Shoreline Management Booklet that is very helpful. Give us a call at
Newport Properties and we will be glad to give you more information
Will You Have Water in the Winter
If you are buying waterfront property, do you
know how deep the water is? Do you have "year" round water? The water
level fluctuates depending on weather and generation needs. Duke Energy
manages the level and has a list of the monthly averages. Call Newport
Properties and we will be happy to supply you with the monthly depth
chart. You can also call 1-800-829-5253 to obtain the current levels.
