Lake Norman Estate w/ Tennis Court, Movie Theater & Game Room | Lion Manor

Welcome to Lion Manor by AvantStay!

Set among mature trees just minutes from Lake Norman, this stunning modern estate offers the perfect balance of privacy, space, and unforgettable group experiences. Designed for large gatherings without sacrificing comfort or style, the home unfolds with soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and thoughtfully curated spaces that invite connection at every turn.

The main living area is a showstopper—anchored by dramatic ceilings, a grand piano, and an open layout that flows seamlessly into the dining room and kitchen. Host unforgettable meals at the dining table for 12, gather around the breakfast table for 8, or spread out in the oversized chef’s kitchen stocked with everything you need for group cooking and entertaining.

When it’s time to unwind, the options are endless. Settle into the TV room with a spacious sectional, challenge friends in the game room with a pool table and multiple TVs, or head to the dedicated movie room for cinematic nights in. Outdoors, the experience continues with a sprawling deck overlooking peaceful wooded views, an outdoor dining table for 10, a grill and BBQ setup, and a firepit perfect for evening conversations under the stars.

For active days, enjoy friendly matches on the private tennis and pickleball court, or take the canoes out to explore nearby waters. The surrounding Denver, NC area places you close to Lake Norman’s marinas, waterfront dining, boating, and outdoor recreation, while still being an easy drive from Charlotte’s restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions—making this an ideal home base for both relaxation and exploration.

At the end of the day, retreat to well-appointed sleeping spaces designed for flexibility and comfort. The primary suite features a king bed and spa-like ensuite with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, while six additional bedrooms, a bunk-style room, and a bonus room ensure everyone has space to recharge.

Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a celebratory getaway, or a multi-family lake escape, this elevated estate delivers space, style, and memorable moments—indoors and out.
