A hidden retreat in the heart of Cornelius. Tucked behind the gates of Shadow Creek, this exceptional residence offers the rare luxury of feeling worlds away while being remarkably close to everything that makes the Lake Norman lifestyle so desirable. The experience begins before you reach the front door. Follow Olde Quarry Lane across the bridge and along the neighborhood’s picturesque pond, where the home gradually reveals itself beyond the water. Set on approximately .63 acres, one of the largest and most private homesites in Shadow Creek, the stone and cedar residence enjoys a beautiful pond front setting surrounded by mature landscaping and natural beauty, creating a setting that feels both established and remarkably serene. Inside, a sense of scale and craftsmanship is immediately apparent. Soaring ceilings, extensive millwork, solid wood doors, custom cabinetry and rich, site finished Peruvian walnut floors lend warmth and character throughout. The thoughtfully designed kitchen opens to generous living and gathering spaces, while the open floor plan, oversized windows and expansive sliding glass doors with custom Phantom Screens create a seamless connection to the outdoors and fill the home with natural light. The main level primary suite and en suite are thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the tranquil setting, with easy access to the outdoors and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. And outside is where this property becomes truly special. An expansive patio with outdoor kitchen, grill and griddle, television and integrated audio offers an extraordinary setting for entertaining, dining or simply enjoying the surrounding landscape. Mature plantings provide exceptional privacy, while the nearby pond and protected natural areas bring an ever changing backdrop of wildlife and nature. The home has been meticulously maintained and extensively enhanced, including significant investments in landscaping, drainage and privacy, upgraded lighting and whole home technology, garage improvements and EV charging, updated systems and appliances, and numerous additional improvements designed for both comfort and longevity. Perhaps most remarkable is the balance of privacy and convenience. Shadow Creek offers a true lock-and-leave lifestyle, with HOA dues covering routine lawn and landscape maintenance, water and sewer, gated access and security, gate maintenance, and comprehensive pond and common area maintenance. Owners remain responsible for seasonal enhancements and plantings on their individual lots, with preferred pricing and a dedicated service portal available through the community’s landscape contractor. Ideally located near Lake Norman, Shadow Creek is also just minutes from boat clubs, marinas, boat storage, golf and tennis clubs, yacht clubs, and social memberships, including The Peninsula Club, River Run, and Trump International Golf Club. Enjoy a peaceful, private setting surrounded by water and nature, ideally situated close to I-77, Lake Norman, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping and everyday conveniences. Private, beautifully established and exceptionally convenient, 21314 Olde Quarry Lane offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find in the heart of Cornelius.

Designed for those who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, this custom home delivers a level of quality and detail rarely found in new construction. From the 10 foot ceilings on every level to the wide-plank European white oak flooring throughout, every inch of this home was professionally designed with quiet luxury in mind — the kind of thoughtful, layered detail a homeowner would choose for themselves and built to offer a seamless mix of elegance, sophistication, and modern livability. The heart of the home is the open concept main-level entertaining space, anchored by a quartzite fireplace & framed in fluted white oak paneling — a detail that instantly elevates the space from beautiful to unforgettable. It's flanked by a built-in bench seat with pull-out drawers and built in storage. The kitchen carries that same intention forward with custom two tone cabinetry, a dramatic 2.5" waterfall-edge island, built-in seating with additional storage, and abundant windows that fill the space with natural light. And no custom home is complete without a scullery — and this one is a showstopper. Fully equipped with a full-size second refrigerator, a second dishwasher, a microwave, abundant custom cabinetry, generous storage, and gorgeous leathered quartz countertops, all tucked just out of sight so entertaining always looks effortless and the kitchen always looks picture-perfect. Just beyond, a wet bar with white oak floating shelves and under-mount lighting leads you toward the low-maintenance backyard oasis. The main level also features a private guest suite with its own en suite bath finished like a boutique hotel — an oversized walk-in shower enclosed in floor-to-ceiling tile, so beautiful your guests won’t want to leave. A color-drenched dedicated home office is tucked away for effortless work-from-home days, and an elegant powder bath features a floating Viola Calacatta marble sink with a wall-mounted faucet — details you won’t find in a typical spec home. Upstairs, the primary suite lives like its own private wing, spanning over 1,000 square feet. The spa-inspired bath features an oversized tile shower enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glass, dual vanities highlighted by a decorative marble backsplash and wall-mounted fixtures, plus two oversized custom walk-in closets built for real life. The bonus room truly sets this home apart — a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows floods the space with natural light and offers endless possibilities for how you use it. The laundry room has abundant storage and counter space and the guest bedrooms are generous. Step outside to a covered back porch overlooking a private, professionally landscaped backyard, where low-maintenance design means more time to enjoy it and less time maintaining it, plus there is room to add a pool. Just a short walk away, residents enjoy private community lake access with a dock and ramp, putting the lake within reach any time you choose, while boutique shopping, top-ranked restaurants, and the new pickleball scene at Serve are all just around the corner. Every great lake town has a neighborhood on the rise. On the shoreline of Lake Norman, that neighborhood is Bahia Bay — where a new generation of architecturally significant custom homes are shaping the future of the neighborhood- all in one of North Carolina’s most celebrated lake towns. You'll love living here.
