About this property

The Pond House. This wilderness rich gem is close to Hickory!

Talk about unique... a 1 acre pond is feet away and full of fish. A tandem kayak is available however there is no swimming allowed. Plenty of visiting birds, squirrels and other animals may say hello. Cozy house with a full kitchen and peaceful covered front porch to chill on. Gas grill out there as well. Feel like your in the mountains while still a short 10 minute drive from Hickory. Come see the Pond House!

Super cute updated house right on a nicely stocked pond. Our small dog LOVED it and we all felt very much at home. In a great neighborhood and close to fun things to do in Hickory. Would definitely stay here again!

The property is absolutely beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch, listening to the fountain in the middle of the pond and watching the blue heron every morning. I loved it there and would love to go back soon! It is very convenient to many things and it’s very quiet.
