Live on the water's edge. Welcome to The Cape, Lake Norman's most anticipated new address-a gated waterfront enclave of just 27 residences on the lake's western shore. Designed for effortless lock-and-leave living, each residence features a private elevator connecting the two-car garage to three levels of elevated living, culminating in a heated rooftop pool overlooking Lake Norman. Each residence offers four bedrooms, 4.5 baths, plus flex and bonus spaces. Inside, the standard is uncompromising, with 9.5-inch European White Oak flooring throughout, White Oak beams, elevated trim and ceiling details, four fireplaces, and a custom elevator with integrated LED screen. The chef's kitchen is designed to impress, anchored by a 43-inch La Cornue CornuFe 110 dual-fuel range in matte black with polished brass trim, panel-ready 30-inch Thermador refrigerator and freezer columns, Thermador dishwasher, and Trade-Wind 600 CFM hood. Custom White Oak cabinetry with black aluminum glass accents surrounds a Taj Mahal quartzite island with a 2.5-inch mitered edge. A glass-enclosed wine cellar accommodates 400+ bottles, positioned beside the living room's 48-inch Isokern fireplace with herringbone brick surround. A full scullery keeps the working kitchen beautifully concealed and includes an integrated refrigerator/freezer, smart combination wall oven, panel-ready dishwasher, Elkay built-in filtered water dispenser, and full-size pantry. The primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a see-through water vapor fireplace, White Oak desk, custom LED-lit closet, and private balcony with an ipe-clad outdoor shower. The spa-inspired bath includes dual vanities, freestanding soaking tub with brushed-gold filler, smart toilet, curbless shower, and a two-person Canadian Hemlock infrared sauna. The bonus level is designed for effortless entertaining, with a custom fireplace, indoor/outdoor bar with 72-inch pass-through window, and secondary kitchen equipped with a panel-ready refrigerator, dishwasher, ice maker, and U-Line U-Chill in-counter wine chilling system. Then there is the rooftop-the feature that truly sets The Cape apart. A heated pool with deck jets overlooks Lake Norman through a six-foot glass panel, complemented by an outdoor kitchen with 42-inch grill and gas/wood-fired pizza oven beneath an operable, LED-lit pergola. A full-size outdoor gas fireplace completes the rooftop retreat. Residences feature four to six porches and patios, while lakefront homes add nearly 500 square feet of pet-rated rooftop turf. Beyond your residence, The Cape is designed to live like a private resort. Two gated entrances lead to a 15-slip private marina, natural private beach with direct water access, four-acre dog park and walking trail, three-hole putting green with ipe bridges and water feature, lakefront fire pits, and a fountain-anchored entry surrounded by mature landscaping. Only 27 residences will ever exist along Lake Norman's 500+ miles of shoreline. Private tours and reservations are available by appointment.
