If you want to find a quiet place to settle on the shores of Lake Norman then you have to come to Catawba County. The small towns of Sherrills Ford and Terrell offer the peaceful living of days past.

Although this is a good 45-minute commute into Charlotte, many are discovering this area for the opportunity to build their dream home and find a large piece of property.  Lots of land can be found here to own horses, or to just enjoy your own hideaway.  Of course, there are new home communities sprouting up as well.  Here you can find just about anything your heart desires.  You are only limited by your imagination for your dream home.

Interesting attractions in the area include the Terrell Country Store at Highway 150 and Sherrills Ford Road. This 1891 country store is filled with old-fashioned candy, homemade butter, hand-dipped ice cream and locally-made gifts.
