The Community
A small group of custom homes on a wooded peninsula with deep-water access.
History
Killians Pointe was platted in the early 2000s as a gated waterfront enclave on the Denver (western) shore of Lake Norman. The plan focused on stone-and-stucco custom estates on private docks, with a manned gate and architectural review designed to keep the community exclusive.
Lifestyle
Life at Killians Pointe is private and water-first. Days revolve around the gated entrance and the dock — morning coffee on covered porches, sunset rides on the pontoon, and long evenings on the back porch watching the western sky. The culture skews primary residences for executives and second-home buyers.
