About this home
An architectural masterpiece designed by renowned architect Harry Schrader and custom built by Kingswood Custom Homes, this extraordinary waterfront estate represents the pinnacle of luxury living on Lake Norman. Positioned on a breathtaking peninsula point lot within the exclusive gated community of Norman Estates, the residence captures sweeping panoramic open-water views while delivering a rare blend of timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and resort-inspired amenities. Spanning more than 11,000 square feet, the home was thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor living through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive entertaining spaces overlooking the lake. Sophisticated architectural details, curated finishes, soaring ceilings, and rich textures create an atmosphere that is both grand and inviting. Every element of the home was intentionally crafted to balance elevated entertaining with comfortable everyday living. The main level features a luxurious lakeside primary suite, elegant dining spaces, private office, fitness studio, billiards lounge, custom wine cellar, and a chef’s kitchen appointed with premium appliances and expansive gathering areas designed for effortless entertaining. Additional guest suites, media spaces, and custom bunk accommodations provide exceptional flexibility for hosting family and guests in comfort and style. Outdoor living rivals a private luxury resort with expansive covered terraces, vaulted entertaining spaces, a screened porch, built-in fire features, outdoor kitchen, manicured grounds, and a stunning infinity-edge pool and spa overlooking the waters of Lake Norman. A private dock complete with a boat lift, dual jet ski lifts, and upper-level sun deck further enhances the extraordinary waterfront lifestyle while maximizing the property’s breathtaking long-range lake views. Thoughtfully designed to feel equally suited for two as it is for hosting over 100 guests, the estate balances refined luxury with effortless livability. Curated for elevated living, the home also includes a regulation pickleball court, private theater, full entertaining bar, five-car garage, whole-home generator, surround sound, and security system. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Lake Norman’s most iconic and architecturally significant waterfront estates.
