Waterfront estates on Lake Norman come in plenty of shapes and sizes, but a fully reimagined one-of-a-kind on a wooded acre with deep water and resort-style neighborhood amenities? That’s a rarer find around here than you’d think.

This home was taken down to the studs (and beyond) in a 2025 renovation, and the result is one of those properties where modern luxury and timeless comfort actually get along. Walls of glass and expansive sliding doors pull the big water views straight into the living space, and the sunrises from this stretch of the lake are, frankly, worth setting an alarm for.

The deep water at the double-slip dock is the real quiet brag. Around the lake, swimming and diving right off your own backyard is something most owners can only dream about — here, it’s just Tuesday.

Inside, the design strikes that warm-but-sophisticated balance, anchored by a soaring two-story natural stone fireplace, wide-plank Caribbean floors, and designer finishes throughout. The first-floor primary suite opens to a private balcony with panoramic views and leads into a spa-inspired bath with heated marble floors, a custom shower, and a walk-in closet and changing room you’ll genuinely want to live in.

The kitchen was built for people who actually cook (and entertain). Expansive island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, a full scullery with custom pantry, and an adjacent lounge with a wine fridge — because why walk far.

Downstairs, the lake-level retreat is its own little world: second kitchen, bourbon room, game room, and a walk-out to a flagstone terrace with its own stone fireplace. A screened porch with hurricane shutters keeps the year-round lake living easy, and a path past the koi pond and waterfall stream leads down to the dock, complete with a covered entertaining area, high-powered boat lift, floating dock, and jet ski dock.

The grounds might be the biggest surprise of all. Usable yard space on Lake Norman is a genuine unicorn, and this lot delivers — professionally designed with mature trees, manicured lawns, layered landscaping, and stonework that gives you both privacy and multiple spots to just sit and take it in. Every winding path, water feature, and viewpoint was clearly placed on purpose.

And because this was a full renovation — new hardboard siding, roof, windows, HVAC, exterior stonework, custom lighting, irrigation, and professionally designed landscaping — there’s very little waiting for you to fix. The neighborhood adds its own lifestyle layer, too: private beach, boat launch, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a basketball court.

Location-wise, you’re minutes from shops, dining, and top schools, and less than 20 minutes to Uptown Charlotte and Charlotte Douglas International. The kind of convenience that makes Lake Norman living actually workable for the weekday commute and the Friday night reservation.

This one’s more than a home. It’s a lifestyle — and around the lake, you won’t find many like it.
