4 Bedroom House in Catawba

Mooreland Preserve is a four-bedroom, four-bath house built in 1889 as a working farm of 140 private acres. Extensive new renovations include a gourmet kitchen, great room, all baths, and new HVAC. Unique, upscale finishes feature granite countertops, centuries old timbers, custom cabinetry and millwork, and refinished original heart of pine flooring throughout. Situated on 140 private acres, the woodlands and water-rich nature preserve provide the perfect sanctuary to restore the should. Mooreland is home to a variety of wildlife -- deer, wild turkey, ducks and birds. The estate also has a barn and an ancient log cabin; an acre pond stocked with bass and bream, and a newly resurfaced pickleball and tennis court. Walking trails take you to all these treasures, and beyond. Waterside Grill and Marina is a quarter mile away, where you may rent all manner of water craft, launch your own, and have a great meal on the Carolinas famed Lake Norman. This house, comfortable and spacious, enjoys a rich history, and is still an active farm for sustainably source timber. We invite you to come and add to the lore of this unique North Carolina 6-generation family estate.
HISTORY
Alexander Moore, II and his family settled on this land in 1831 on the shoals of the Catawba River. Six generations of Moore descendants have coninuously owned and cared for the property. The current owner, John Moore, born in 1936, was the direct descendent of Gen. John Moore, who fought in the Revolutionary War. He and his four brothers grew up working the farm which at that time had fields of grain and cotton, orchards, cows, horses, chickens, and pigs.
In 1958, John encouraged his father Clyde, then retired, to plant pine trees in the fallow fields. In 1980, the pond and tennis court were added and the house was updated. John and his wife, Patricia, have recently renovated the house and grounds again and are opening it to others so that Mooreland can continue to be enjoyed by future generations. Patricia, environmentalist of some note locally, passed away in September of 2022, and in her honor, the family plans to work with State and environmental groups to make as much of the Catawba river valley north of Lake Norman, including the 140 acres at Mooreland Preserve, to be permanently designated as wild space.

Summary: Family of 5 plus Grandma stayed here for Thanksgiving and it was absolutely wonderful. Very clean, plenty of space and bathrooms for everyone to have their own. Master on both upper floor and main floor made it great for Grandma to have plenty of space since she can't walk stairs and also Mom and Dad to have their own master upstairs on same floor with kids. Beautiful walking trails, pickleball court, pond with canoe and life jackets. Great location. Beautiful kitchen fully stocked with pans and dishes and even spices and oils for cooking. Best VRBO property we have stayed at. Managed very well. Thank you :)

Summary: We were looking for a place to meet for a family vacation. This place was as described. We enjoyed the tennis courts and just hanging out at the property grounds. Great privacy. We found a couple of good restaurants in town and neighbor was super nice too. The kitchen is very nice too. It was pricey for us on a budget but not pricey for what it is. I highly recommend it for a nice place to be in the area.

Summary: My family of 7, one under 2 years stayed together here for a baby shower in Statesville. There was plenty of space for the local family and friends to join us. The kitchen was large enough for three cooks to chop and prepare meals. This is a very old home remodeled for modern families. We all had a good time walking trails on the property and playing pickleball!

Summary: Lovely property! Our family took full advantage of our surroundings! We spent time fishing on the dock (and even caught a fish!), playing tennis and pickleball, and exploring the grounds! We had a lot of great family time in the large, well appointed farm kitchen. Overall a great family getaway!

Summary: Our family (7 adults) spent 3 nights at the historic Moore farmhouse. We loved the privacy afforded by the 140 wooded acres and enjoyed the spring weather surrounded by nature. We rocked on the porch, explored the woods, and my husband enjoyed catching and releasing about a dozen bass at the pond. The house, built in the 19th century, is owned by descendants of the same original family. The interior was thoughtfully renovated recently with high-quality features but without losing the charm and quirks of such an old structure. The history of the property is fascinating, and there are historic photos throughout the house. I enjoyed talking with the current owner, and the property manager responded quickly when we had questions.

Summary: The property was perfect for our family Thanksgiving stay. Everything was better than described. Lot of property to explore and hike on the trails. The kids had a blast catching bass in the pond. Adults enjoyed a lot of time on the pickleball court. Owner was very nice and responsive. We will definitely stay at this property again if we are in the area.

Summary: We just got back from a lovely vacation with our five kids and pup. This house was the perfect getaway for our crew. Everything was exactly as listed. We wanted space to spread out, many outdoor options to play and explore, and a cozy place to build new memories as a family. We all enjoyed every minute. Thank you to the Moore family for letting us stay at your beautiful property.

Summary: My granddaughter and I were so excited about the property that we took a 1 1/2 hour hike before even going inside the house. That was our first hike but not the only one. It was nice to be away from the crowds and the grandkids loved playing wiffle ball and other games in the huge yard. The house was built in the 1800’s and had plenty of room for all eight of us plus a dog. It has a log cabin feel even though it is big. The kitchen is up to date and it felt like home since our home was built in 1907. There’s lots of history there.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed the farmhouse. Lots of nice space, and beautiful little body of water, and a canoe, lots of grounds for the kids to play on. The kitchen was nice and spacious so we could all cook together and eat together. The knives are a little dull and the range seems to only recognize bigger heavier pots, but that didn’t set us back. We figured things out. Definitely sharpen the knives please. Lots of dishes and cooking tools. The dock could use an upgrade, we were a little worried about putting too much weight on it. John was lovely and responsive and even came by to say hello. They left us a lovely bottle of wine or as well, as a welcome. The property was a little far from the things we wanted to go to, but the pay off was this beautiful large, blissful piece of land with deer and rabbits, firebugs, and frogs. Just loved it.
