There is a difference you can feel when a home is thoughtfully designed and carefully built. This custom waterfront residence at Lake Gaston is intended to reflect exactly that. Bringing a fresh perspective to the lake, this home is being constructed by Hayes Barton Homes, a well recognized builder in the Raleigh market, known among many luxury buyers for refined, high end design and attention to detail, with work that has been featured in Architectural Digest. Their first presence at Lake Gaston introduces a level of craftsmanship and architectural intention that will feel both familiar to some and distinctive to the area. Set within the Stillhouse Branch community, where custom homes line a quiet, protected cove with direct access to the main lake, the setting offers both calm water and connection to everything Lake Gaston is known for. Mornings begin on the lakeside porch with coffee and still water views, while evenings are spent gathered around the warmth of the side porch fireplace or out on the double boathouse, where time slows and the water becomes part of your everyday routine. The home has been designed with both comfort and longevity in mind, featuring solid construction including concrete poured basement walls and a commitment to quality, along with hardwood flooring throughout much of the home, fiber cement lap siding, cedar tongue and groove ceilings, wood stained front porch columns and thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor living spaces. With fiber internet availability, a state maintained road and convenient access to Interstate 85, the home balances everyday livability with the ease of a lake retreat. Estimated completion is scheduled for late summer 2026.
