About the host
Hosted by Michael Brawley
We met racing sailboats against each other here on Lake Norman. We own a craft beer and wine store/taproom in Charlotte and are a water family with a strong attachment to our lake and our environment. We are raising our daughter, a budding sailor, born in 2010 to appreciate and care about our world and live life to the fullest.7047799867
Why they chose this property
This is a house for boaters! I found this property in 2001 and purchased it with plans to build. I was a professional sailor and this house was built to help alleviate the "land sickness" I experienced after moving back to Charlotte full time. After years of design changes we completed our cottage in 2012. We seem to find less and less time to use our cottage so we rent it out to people who will appreciate and use it with care as we do.
What makes this property unique
This house is perfect for nature lovers and people who appreciate thoughtful design and energy efficiency. A perfect house for contemplation, and quality time with small groups. Although there are houses on both sides you really feel tucked away due to the natural state of the grounds.
