Nestled along the picturesque shores of Lake Wylie, South Shore at McLean in Belmont, NC, is a stunning lakeside community that offers a perfect blend of modern luxury and natural beauty. This neighborhood, part of the larger McLean development, is known for its scenic views, upscale homes, and access to an abundance of outdoor activities. However, beyond its contemporary charm, South Shore has deep historical roots that connect it to Belmont’s rich past.
A Family Legacy on Historic Land
Long before South Shore became one of the most sought-after communities in the region, the land it sits on was home to a thriving dairy farm run by my great-grandfather, Beecher Wilson. Generations ago, this very property was a working farm where fresh milk was produced and delivered to families in the area. My grandmother spent her childhood here, growing up amidst rolling pastures and the hardworking spirit that defined rural Belmont in those days.
Back then, the land was vastly different – acres of farmland stretched across what is now a community of beautifully designed homes. The echoes of that history still resonate, offering a unique connection between the past and present for those who choose to call South Shore home.
A Premier Lakefront Community
Today, South Shore is a masterfully planned neighborhood featuring custom-built homes, walking trails, and a variety of amenities designed to enhance lakeside living. Residents enjoy direct access to Lake Wylie, making it a paradise for boating, fishing, and paddleboarding enthusiasts. With McLean’s commitment to preserving the area’s natural beauty, the community seamlessly blends outdoor adventure with modern conveniences.
South Shore is also just a short drive from downtown Belmont, a charming town known for its vibrant dining, shopping, and cultural scene. The combination of lakefront serenity and small-town charm makes this community truly special.
