About this home

Rarely does a Lake Norman property offer this extraordinary combination of acreage, shoreline, privacy and scale. Set on approximately 6 acres with more than 1,700 feet of waterfront, 178 Mariner Point Lane is a remarkable private estate surrounded by water and positioned to capture sweeping big-water views from nearly every direction. Encompassing an 8,085-square-foot main residence, separate 1,745-square-foot guest house and garage space for eight vehicles, the property offers nearly 10,000 square feet of combined living space in one of Lake Norman's most distinctive waterfront settings. A gated entrance opens to a long private drive leading through beautifully maintained grounds to the main residence. More than 80 palm trees are thoughtfully placed throughout the property, creating an unexpected resort-like atmosphere rarely found on Lake Norman. With water wrapping around much of the estate, the setting feels remarkably private while keeping expansive lake views at the forefront. The 8,085-square-foot main residence features four bedrooms, five full bathrooms and four half bathrooms, with grand living spaces designed around the water. At the heart of the home, the dramatic two-story family room is defined by an extraordinary wall of glass, highlighted by a single, uninterrupted pane soaring approximately 22 feet high. Positioned directly in line with the infinity-edge pool and Lake Norman beyond, the glass creates a striking visual connection from the interior to the water's edge, making the view itself a defining architectural element of the home. The spacious kitchen offers generous cabinetry, expansive countertops and a large center island, while multiple living and dining areas provide exceptional spaces for everyday living and entertaining. A richly paneled private office, dedicated wine cellar and home theater add to the home's impressive collection of amenities. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with generous proportions and a spa-inspired bathroom that extends to a private outdoor shower. Expansive terraces and balconies throughout the residence provide spectacular vantage points across the grounds and Lake Norman. Designed for year-round entertaining, the conditioned sunroom features an indoor grilling area, allowing the home's indoor-outdoor lifestyle to continue regardless of the season. Just beyond, an infinity-edge swimming pool and hot tub overlook the lake, surrounded by expansive stone terraces and mature landscaping. Positioned against the open water, the pool creates a spectacular visual effect and becomes a natural extension of the lake from both inside and outside the residence. A covered dock provides direct access to Lake Norman for boating, swimming and enjoying life on the water, while the property's extensive shoreline creates multiple vantage points from which to experience the lake. A separate 1,745-square-foot guest house further distinguishes the estate, offering two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a complete kitchen. Designed to function as a true secondary residence, it provides guests or extended family with privacy and independence. Four garage bays at the guest house complement the four-car garage at the main residence, providing a total of eight garage spaces with exceptional capacity for vehicles, collections and lake toys. From its gated entrance and six private acres to more than 1,700 feet of shoreline, panoramic big-water views, infinity-edge pool, separate guest residence and extraordinary garage capacity, 178 Mariner Point Lane is more than a luxury waterfront home. It is a Lake Norman estate of remarkable scale, defined by privacy, space and an unforgettable connection to the water.
