Some homes offer a lifestyle. This one gives it wings—and a place on Lake Norman. For those who have imagined a morning above the clouds and an afternoon on the water, this is a rare opportunity to make both part of everyday life. A fully brick residence, more than two acres, a deeded boat slip, and room for a custom hangar come together in one of Lake Norman’s most distinctive settings. Here, the runway is woven into the neighborhood, and the lake becomes part of every departure and homecoming. The community’s 3,000 × 100-foot lighted turf runway and taxiways offer takeoffs and landings framed by lake views. A deeded-slip marina, community docks, and a seaplane-capable boat ramp connect you to North Carolina’s largest lake—with 520 miles of shoreline to explore. Arrive by air. Spend the afternoon by boat. Come home to something extraordinary. Built in 2019, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home pairs timeless brick construction with an open-concept interior designed for easy gatherings and comfortable living. A beautifully appointed drop zone and mudroom bring order to everyday arrivals, while an expansive steam shower and a stereo system turns a daily ritual into a private spa experience. Outside, the fenced backyard introduces an even bigger possibility. With more than two acres and room to extend the backyard, envision a pool, a fire pit beneath the stars, or an outdoor entertaining retreat designed entirely around you. The space is here to create the setting you have always wanted. At the front of the property, space for a future, fully customizable hangar invites you to build around your aircraft and the way you fly. Proposed improvements are subject to applicable approvals and permitting. The marina has also received completed, paid-for capital improvements this year, including a new tram, marina-area rewiring, and structural additions designed to dampen waves. What makes this opportunity so compelling is how much comes together in one address: acreage, aviation access, a deeded boat slip, and a modern home with room to shape your next chapter. Finding each is one thing. Finding them together is what makes this property so difficult to replace. Your boat has a slip. Your next adventure has a runway. And the opportunity to call it all yours is here—until someone else does.
