Our family has always enjoyed being near the water. After we purchased the house there was not a lot of discussion about where we were going to go or what we were going to do. We got the kids and headed to the lake. We thought at first that we would host lots of parties but as time went by it became a sanctuary for our family to gather and relax. The kids went off to school and Kyna and I found out we used it even more. The kids are married now and when they are in town we still gather at the lake house. Kyna and I are traveling more and thought we would share our place with you.

Kyna and I both grew up near Lake Norman and spent a lot of summers on the lake. Myself for sailing and Kyna for waterskiing. We knew we wanted deep water year round and a great view of the lake. We looked at a lot of houses but never could find the perfect place. When we saw this property our search was over. We have a large lot with plenty of shade and great outdoor gathering spaces. The view from the rockers on the porch for us is magical. We can sit and watch the heron that visits each morning or the ducks and geese that come by in the afternoon. Picnic on the dock are fun as we share our food with the fishes. Inside, there are great rooms for gathering and there is always a pool game going on in the lower level. Each bedroom has a queen bed and its own bathroom. The kids have always slept in the loft which has an awesome view of the house and the lake.

One of the best places to be is on the back deck watching the sun set or the kids play. You can see when the boat comes in or who is going off the dock. The kitchen has two doors that open onto the deck for easy access to the grill. The great room also opens to the deck and offers a wonderful view of the lake and the dock. We did not realize until three years ago when we built a new dock how much time we spent on the water. Kyna prefers to sun on the upper level while being Irish my skin and I prefer the shaded gazebo below.
