A Frank Lloyd Wright-Inspired Luxury Escape with Six True Bedrooms and Private Dock
Perched amongst the trees and overlooking the main channel of beautiful Lake Norman, the Lake Norman Retreat blends architectural beauty, modern comfort, and the soul-soothing calm of nature. Professionally designed for discerning guests who value space, style, and togetherness, this 4,300+ square foot lakefront home features six bedrooms and six and 1/2 bathrooms and comfortably sleeps 18.
From sunrise coffees on the screened porch to evenings around the firepit or cocktails on the wraparound deck or down on the dock, this is where you make memories to last a lifetime.
⭐ Why Guests Love It
~True comfort for up to 18 guests - Six spacious bedrooms, each beautifully appointed and thoughtfully separated for privacy.
~Prime main-channel lakefront location with deep-water private double-sided dock, panoramic views, and direct access to Lake Norman State Park.
~Tri-toon boat available right at your private dock for effortless days on the water (additional fee).
~Multiple gathering spaces - firepits, expansive decks, screened porch, and two cozy living areas.
~Luxury amenities including Sonos sound system throughout home, Thermador appliances, and a fully equipped gym with Peloton bike, elliptical machine, and weight bench and free weights.
~Pet-friendly, family-friendly and designed for connection.
⭐ The Home
Inside, comfort meets craftsmanship. The soaring wood-beam ceilings, warm wood flooring, and walls of windows bring the outdoors in, framing the ever-changing lake views, as if you are perched in an expansive treehouse. The open-concept great room flows from a chef`s kitchen with Thermador professional appliances to a generous dining and lounge area, perfect for long dinners and late-night laughter.
Downstairs, a full recreation level offers a pool table, gas fireplace, and bar area - ideal for rainy-day fun or evening relaxation. Just outside play a covered game of cornhole!
