Tucked across from Lake Norman State Park on almost 6 private acres, this one-of-a-kind estate offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, privacy, and intentional design. From the moment you arrive down the 320-foot tree-lined driveway, the property begins to slow life down-offering quiet, space, and a true sense of retreat. Built by the owner with no detail overlooked, this home was designed to be lived in, not just admired. Every space serves a purpose, and every finish reflects thoughtful planning and long-term quality. Inside, wide 4-foot hallways, solid core doors, hardwood floors throughout (including closets), heavy crown molding, and detailed millwork set a tone of understated luxury. Anderson high-performance casement windows bring in abundant natural light while framing peaceful views of the surrounding landscape and wildlife. The main living area feels warm and inviting, anchored by a Mendota fireplace and surrounded by shiplap, brick accents, and custom built-ins. An "English pub" style bar adds character, creating a space designed for gathering, conversation, and everyday comfort. The kitchen blends function and craftsmanship with black granite countertops, a 36" six-burner dual fuel range, custom cabinetry, recessed counter-depth refrigerator design, and an oversized island with built-in storage. Just beyond, a gourmet pantry elevates daily living with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, designer lighting, a beverage fridge, and a dedicated countertop space perfectly suited for a coffee bar setup-keeping the main kitchen clean, organized, and ready for entertaining. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with space for a sitting area or office. The spa-inspired bath features a Kohler cast iron soaking tub and a luxury integrated wet room suite, thoughtfully designed with a separate tiled shower and soaking tub within a seamless spa-style layout, creating a private at-home retreat experience. A fully custom walk-in closet with built-ins and integrated storage completes the suite. Secondary bedrooms each include private en-suite baths with upgraded tile, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and designer finishes. A highly functional laundry/mudroom doubles as a flexible living space, featuring built-in storage, natural light, seating, and hidden Murphy beds for additional guest flexibility. Outdoor living is equally intentional, with covered front and rear porches featuring tongue-and-groove ceilings, lighting, and fans. Additional outdoor features include a gazebo, fire pit, outdoor shower, and multiple seating areas designed to enjoy the property year-round. The land itself is a defining feature-almost 6 private acres filled with mature trees, natural beauty, and frequent wildlife sightings. The proximity to Lake Norman State Park offers immediate access to trails, lake views, and protected green space. Additional highlights include a fully insulated oversized garage with epoxy floors, built-in cabinetry, workbench, 220 power, and generator wiring. The home is constructed with 2x6 exterior walls, R-23 insulation, and high-quality systems designed for long-term efficiency and durability. This is not a production home-it is a thoughtfully designed private estate where craftsmanship, comfort, and nature come together.
