About this home

An exceptional gated waterfront estate set on a private 1.35-acre homesite along Lake Wylie’s sought-after main channel, showcasing stunning sunset views and an atmosphere of refined, effortless luxury. Thoughtfully designed with timeless craftsmanship and modern sophistication, this residence captures panoramic water views from nearly every room. The main living spaces are both grand and inviting, defined by soaring vaulted ceilings, rich architectural detailing, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A beautifully appointed great room with custom built-ins and fireplace flows seamlessly into the chef’s kitchen, newly updated in 2026—an elegant yet highly functional space featuring marble countertops, an oversized island, walk-in pantry, and a full suite of professional-grade appliances, including a Wolf gas cooktop, steam oven, and Thermador refrigerator. Refined entertaining continues in the formal living and dining rooms, complete with a wet bar—ideal for intimate gatherings or elevated hosting. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, offering dual custom closets, a spa-caliber bath with heated floors, and the convenience of an adjoining laundry. The lower level is designed for both relaxation and hosting, featuring an expansive recreation room, a warm and inviting den with wet bar and direct access to the pool and patio. Three additional bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom are elegantly appointed for comfort and privacy. There is even a secondary laundry space for guests and pool towels. A spacious three car garage also features tons of storage above. Outdoors, the property transforms into a true resort-style retreat. A sprawling composite deck, covered terrace, and meticulously landscaped grounds surround a saltwater pool and spa, creating an atmosphere of serene leisure. The private covered dock with boat lift provides immediate access to the lake, completing this rare offering. A distinguished waterfront residence just moments from Charlotte, delivering an unparalleled blend of privacy, design, and lakefront living.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
