A breathtaking modern farmhouse infused with contemporary design and timeless architectural charm—defined by clean lines, rich natural textures, and over 300 feet of extraordinary panoramic Lake Norman shoreline. Built in 2022 and fully renovated in 2025 with all-new designer selections, this estate delivers exceptional luxury, natural light, and architectural sophistication. Perfectly positioned on a premium peninsula-style lot, the property captures uninterrupted, long-range water views from nearly every room, creating an atmosphere of serenity that is unmatched on the lake. Two natural sandy beaches frame the shoreline, offering an effortless lakeside lifestyle.
Inside, the main level showcases 12' ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow designed to maximize the views at every turn. The gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, an oversized island, premium appliances, and breathtaking lake views, complemented by a fully equipped scullery for additional prep and storage. The lakeside primary suite is a true retreat with picture-window views and a spa-inspired bath anchored by a freestanding tub and oversized glass shower.
The walk-out lower level expands your living and guest accommodations with generous bedrooms, recreation spaces, and private access to the second garage—ideal for multigenerational living or extended stays. Outdoor features include new designer landscaping, an outdoor shower, and a brand-new seawall. A new two-level dock is currently under construction for mid-December completion, and approved pool plans offer even more opportunity to customize this remarkable property.
A rare waterfront offering where timeless modern architecture, spectacular long-range views, and a premier Cornelius location come together—Lake Norman living at its absolute finest.
