American Craftsman Lodge on Lake Norman Offers Resort-Style Waterfront Living for $7.1 Million

A custom-designed waterfront estate in The Point at Lake Norman, one of North Carolina‘s most prestigious residential communities, has returned to the market for $7.1 million. Set on 2.21 private waterfront acres, the American Craftsman-inspired residence combines timeless architecture, advanced engineering, and a long list of luxury amenities designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining.

Completed in 2016, the home spans 8,418 square feet with six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces overlooking Lake Norman.

A Landmark Setting Within The Point

Positioned on one of the largest homesites in The Point, the estate enjoys a level of privacy rarely found among Lake Norman waterfront properties. Mature trees surround the residence while direct lake frontage creates uninterrupted water views and a peaceful natural backdrop.

Designed by renowned architect Christopher Phelps, the residence embraces classic American Craftsman Lodge architecture rather than contemporary trends, creating a home intended to remain timeless for generations.

Custom structural wood arches by Carolina Timberworks immediately establish the home’s character, soaring toward a dramatic 21-foot great room ceiling. Throughout the residence, wide-plank hickory flooring, Clark Hall handcrafted iron entry doors, Pella windows, Hardie board siding, and Clopay garage doors reinforce the estate’s emphasis on craftsmanship and durability.

Two Professional Kitchens Designed for Entertaining

The culinary program rivals that of many boutique hospitality properties.

At its center sits a spectacular 12-foot granite island, surrounded by professional-grade appliances including dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Wolf range, Wolf wall ovens, Bosch and Miele dishwashers, Sub-Zero wine refrigeration, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry that supports effortless entertaining.

Downstairs, a second hospitality kitchen expands the entertainment capabilities with dual Sub-Zero wine refrigerators, Thermador beverage drawers, a Perlick ice maker, kegerator, and an additional Miele dishwasher—creating a dedicated venue for parties, family celebrations, and lakefront gatherings.

A Private Owner’s Retreat

Unlike many large estates where the primary suite occupies only a corner of the home, this residence dedicates an entire wing to the owners.

The main-level retreat includes heated bathroom floors, dual walk-in closets, a luxurious spa bath, and a private executive office positioned nearby for those working remotely.

An additional guest suite on the main floor offers complete privacy for overnight visitors, while the lower level accommodates three additional en-suite guest bedrooms.

Entertainment amenities continue downstairs with a temperature-controlled wine room, full-service entertainment bar, fitness studio, and dry sauna.

Outdoor Living Inspired by a Private Resort

The connection between the residence and Lake Norman defines the property.

A heated screened porch with an outdoor fireplace extends the living space throughout every season while opening directly toward the shoreline.

The estate also includes:

• Direct waterfront access
• A deeded boat slip
• Estate-quality landscaping
• Thirteen-zone irrigation system
• Expansive lawns surrounded by mature hardwood forests

Together, these elements create a setting equally suited to quiet mornings on the lake or large outdoor gatherings.

Garage Space Beyond Storage

Automobile enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate one of the home’s more unique features.

In addition to the attached three-car garage, a separate two-car garage sits beneath an elegant porte-cochère.

Currently configured as a golf simulator and workshop, the flexible space could easily serve as a collector’s garage, fitness studio, or custom recreation area.

Engineered for Performance

While the architecture emphasizes traditional craftsmanship, the infrastructure reflects modern engineering.

The residence incorporates a geothermal heat pump, seven-zone HVAC system, Generac whole-home generator, commercial-grade lightning protection, whole-house water filtration, Sonance integrated audio, and full Control4 smart home automation.

These systems quietly support the estate’s day-to-day performance while maintaining comfort across every season.

A Rare Opportunity on Lake Norman

Luxury waterfront inventory within The Point remains exceptionally limited, particularly for homes offering both substantial acreage and newer construction.

With its architectural pedigree, resort-inspired amenities, extensive infrastructure, and one of the community’s largest waterfront homesites, this residence represents a distinctive opportunity for buyers seeking privacy without sacrificing proximity to Charlotte and the recreational lifestyle of Lake Norman.
