Misty Waters is an exclusive, upscale gated community on Lake Wylie off of NC Highway 273 in the rural area of Gaston County, NC just minutes from the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. While officially in the quaint town of Belmont, NC and a part of the outstanding Belmont School District, Misty Waters is located in one of the most pristine, tranquil and unspoiled areas of Lake Wylie.

Developed with an eye towards the highest aesthetic and strictest architectural standards, including minimum square footage and architectural reviews, for the continued enjoyment of the residents Misty Waters is comprised of beautiful custom homes on 1+ acre waterfront, waterview and interior lots.
