Overview

A Distinctive European-Inspired Lakefront Retreat

Welcome to 170 Iron Gate Circle, a timeless French Country estate where handcrafted elegance meets serene lakefront living. Designed by acclaimed builder Chris Holcomb, every detail has been thoughtfully curated—from bespoke finishes and antique-inspired lighting to warm, organic materials that harmonize throughout the home. This residence is a testament to true craftsmanship and sophisticated design, offering a seamless blend of indoor refinement and outdoor tranquility.
Set against the sparkling waters of Lake Norman, the property features a private covered dock, boat lift, and sandy beach. Expansive terraces and Brazilian mahogany decking provide stunning lake views, while screened porches and flagstone patios create ideal spaces for alfresco entertaining. The landscape, complete with mature plantings, a cutting garden, fountain feature, and garden shed, enhances the sense of a private retreat.
Inside, the home embraces both grand scale and intimate charm. A soaring two-story foyer introduces heart-of-pine floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and custom French Country wall sconces. The great room offers dramatic two-story ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and direct lake access through Andersen sliding doors. The chef’s kitchen, designed for both function and flair, flows seamlessly into the dining and great room areas, creating a perfect setting for entertaining or quiet family gatherings.
The main-level primary suite is a serene retreat with two walk-in closets, sliding doors to the lakeside deck, and a spa-inspired ensuite with dual travertine vanities, a jetted soaking tub, and a walk-in rain shower. Upstairs, two guest suites feature private baths, walk-in closets, and access to a covered terrace overlooking the lake. An expansive attic and optional third-story addition provide potential for future expansion.
Every corner of this home speaks to quality and European-inspired design—from the hand-selected antiques and crown molding to the textured walls, beadboard accents, and tongue-and-grove ceilings. Modern systems, including dual water heaters, a lightly used gas furnace, and a propane-ready generator connection, ensure comfort alongside timeless style.
170 Iron Gate Circle is more than a residence; it is a lakefront sanctuary offering a perfect blend of refinement, warmth, and everyday luxury.
