All Brick Ranch l No City Taxes | Nearly 3 Private Acres | Minutes to Marina & Public Boat Access
Welcome Home to 5305 Icard Ridge Road—a charming all-brick 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offering lovely Lake Hickory views, nearly 3 private acres, and an unbeatable location just minutes from Rivers Edge Marina and the Wittenburg Public Boat Access. Whether you're looking for a home near a private marina, convenient public boat launch, or simply a peaceful retreat with lake views, this property offers the perfect combination of privacy and recreation.
Inside, you'll find comfortable one-level living with hardwood and tile flooring, spacious light-filled living areas, and a well-designed kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, pull-out drawers, and an oversized center island. The year-round all-glass sunroom showcases beautiful lake views and creates the perfect space for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying your morning coffee.
Step outside to a welcoming covered front porch, gazebo, mature landscaping, and nearly three acres of usable land with room to garden, play, or expand. The heated basement offers incredible flexibility for a recreation room, home gym, workshop, hobby space, or abundant storage. While heated, the basement is not included in the home's official Heated Living Area due to ceiling heights just under seven feet.
Additional features include a double attached garage, an approximately 12' x 24' outbuilding with electricity, and a separate driveway with plenty of space for boats, RVs, trailers, or equipment.
If you've been searching for a home with Lake Hickory views, close proximity to a private marina, public boat access, and the peace and privacy of country living—all while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences—this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.
