A Unique and Personal Custom Home Design Experience.

Smith Slovik Residential Design Group believes every exceptional home begins with understanding the people who will live there. Through thoughtful collaboration, purposeful design, and decades of residential expertise, every project is shaped around your vision, your lifestyle, and your family.

Where Beautiful Architecture Meets the Way You Live

A truly great home does two things at once. From the street, it should be beautiful architecture proportions that sit right, details that reward a second look, a balance that simply works. And from the inside, it has to work just as hard: a floorplan shaped around the way your family actually lives. The best homes never make you choose between the two. Beauty and function are designed together, from the very first sketch. That marriage is the standard at Smith Slovik Residential Design Group, paired with a promise: a unique and personal custom home design experience, with every layout shaped around each family’s needs and the way they live.

Every Style, Designed Beautifully

Ask ten people to define “modern” and you’ll get ten answers. What one calls Modern, another calls Transitional, and most of what we’re drawn to today is a fusion of styles. That’s why Smith Slovik has never treated style as a box to check. With more than 45 combined years of experience, partners Troy Smith and Dave Slovik have learned that the fundamentals of architecture are vital, but flexibility is even more crucial.

That flexibility is where the artistry lives. Today’s most beautiful homes are often thoughtful fusions: a transitional home with modern lines, a farmhouse with craftsman warmth, and blending styles gracefully takes real fluency in each. Whether you arrive with a precise vision or just a folder of saved images and a feeling you can’t quite name, Smith Slovik knows how to hear what you’re really asking for and make it beautiful.

Designed for You

The process begins with a question: what are you drawn to? Sometimes the answer is a whole style; sometimes it’s a detail: one veneer over another, a shape that catches the eye. From there, the team designs from the inside out as much as the outside in, drawing inspiration from the client’s own opinions, taking each family’s needs, routines, and sense of style into consideration, and welcoming clients who challenge their ideas. Conceptual designs, 3D models, and color renderings let you walk through your home long before ground is broken, so both the look and the layout are refined together at every step.

For more than two decades, Charlotte and Lake Norman families have trusted Smith Slovik to take their homes from first sketch to construction-ready plans, setting realistic goals, staying available at every stage, bringing genuine passion to every design, and delivering work that exceeds expectations.

Whatever style you love, or whatever style you’re still discovering, bring your ideas, your saved images, even the half-formed ones.

Beautiful architecture, designed around the way you live, starts with a conversation.

INSIDE LAKE NORMAN’S LANDMARK $15.25 MILLION SALE

How Tom Bramhall Brought Together the Buyer, Strategy, and Relationships Behind One of the Most Significant Luxury Real Estate Transactions in Lake Norman History

When the Regatta Island estate came to market, it represented far more than another luxury listing. Set on approximately 3.04 private acres with more than 1,250 feet of shoreline, the waterfront compound offered a rare combination of privacy, scale, craftsmanship, and lifestyle. Successfully bringing together a qualified buyer for a property of this caliber would require strategic marketing, global exposure, and a deep understanding of the luxury marketplace. For Tom Bramhall, it became an opportunity to demonstrate what exceptional representation can accomplish at the highest levels of real estate.

Lake Norman has long been recognized as one of the Southeast’s premier waterfront destinations, but even among its most prestigious properties, Regatta Island stood apart. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the estate combined refined architecture with resort-inspired amenities, expansive entertaining spaces, a custom pool house, saltwater pool and spa, fire features, covered lakeside living areas, and a private dock offering immediate access to the lake.

Positioned on its own gated island, the property delivered a level of exclusivity rarely available anywhere in the Carolinas. It was not simply a home. It was a legacy property.

For Bramhall, the significance of the estate extended beyond its extraordinary features.

“Luxury buyers aren’t simply purchasing square footage. They’re investing in a lifestyle, a vision, and an experience. The role of the agent is understanding how to communicate that value to the right audience.”

Successfully marketing a property of this caliber required a targeted strategy that reached far beyond traditional real estate channels. Through a combination of strategic marketing, relationship-driven networking, private introductions, and exposure to qualified luxury buyers, the property was positioned before an audience capable of appreciating its uniqueness.

The result was one of Lake Norman’s most significant luxury transactions and further evidence of the growing national attention being placed on the region’s waterfront market.

WHAT SETS TOM BRAMHALL APART

The luxury market operates differently than traditional residential real estate. Representing Lake Norman’s most exceptional homes requires more than marketing. It requires relationships, discretion, market expertise, and the ability to connect extraordinary properties with qualified buyers.

As a Luxury Real Estate Advisor with Ivester Jackson, Christie’s International Real Estate, Tom Bramhall specializes in waterfront estates, luxury homes, aviation properties, golf communities, and distinctive residential opportunities throughout Lake Norman and the surrounding markets.

With a business rooted in integrity, strategic representation, and client advocacy, Bramhall approaches every listing with a customized marketing strategy designed around each property’s unique story, audience, and value proposition.

His understanding of Lake Norman’s luxury waterfront market, combined with the international reach of Ivester Jackson | Christie’s International Real Estate, allows him to position exceptional homes before affluent buyers locally, nationally, and around the world.

“Properties like Regatta Island rarely come to market. Connecting that caliber of home with the right buyer requires more than marketing. It requires relationships.”

For sellers, that means more than exposure. It means access to the resources, connections, and expertise necessary to maximize value in a highly specialized market.

For buyers, it means working with an advisor who understands not only the inventory available today, but also opportunities that may never become publicly available.

As Lake Norman continues to attract executives, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and luxury buyers from across the country, Bramhall remains focused on one objective: helping clients navigate complex transactions with confidence while delivering exceptional results.

The record-setting $15.25 million sale of Regatta Island represents more than a landmark transaction. It reflects a philosophy that continues to define Bramhall’s business: extraordinary properties deserve extraordinary representation.

“Adversity cause some men to break, and others to BREAK RECORDS.” - W. Ward

THE NEW STANDARD OF LUXURY

WHAT TODAY’S AFFLUENT BUYERS VALUE MOST WHEN PURCHASING A HOME.

Luxury has evolved. Today’s affluent buyers are prioritizing wellness, privacy and everyday livability over sheer square footage. Here are the five features driving purchasing decisions in 2026.

01 WELLNESS SPACES

Buyers are investing in homes that support healthier living–from dedicated fitness studios and saunas to spa-inspired primary bathrooms and wholehome water filtration systems.

02 INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING

Seamless transitions are essential. Retractable doors, covered terraces, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and resort-style pools continue to rank among buyers’ highest priorities.

03 MOVE-IN READY QUALITY

Today’s buyers expect exceptional craftsmanship, updated systems and timeless finishes. Homes that offer a turnkey experience with nothing left to do stand out in today’s market.

04 PRIVACY & SECURITY

Gated communities, mature landscaping, estate-sized lots, and sophisticated security systems remain top-of-mind for buyers seeking peace of mind and exclusivity.

05 SPACES DESIGNED AROUND LIFESTYLE

Buyers want homes that reflect how they live–golf simulators, wine rooms, home offices, media rooms and multi-generational suites consistently appear to luxury buyers.

“One thing I’ve noticed while touring luxury homes with buyers is that they’re no longer impressed by the location or size alone; they’re evaluating how a home enhances their daily lifestyle. The homes that generate the strongest interest are those that feel effortless to live in while offering privacy, elevated design, and multiple spaces that create memorable experiences with family and friends.

- Steve Lonnen

MOUNTAIN RETREATS

From the timeless charm of Highlands and Cashiers to the breathtaking beauty of Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, and Lake Toxaway, mountain living across the Carolinas offers a lifestyle defined by fresh air, natural beauty, and a welcome escape from the everyday. These exceptional homes showcase remarkable architecture, extraordinary craftsmanship, and thoughtfully designed spaces created for both quiet relaxation and unforgettable gatherings.

Whether overlooking sweeping Blue Ridge vistas, pristine mountain lakes, or protected forests, each property captures the enduring appeal of refined mountain living, where every season offers a new opportunity to explore, reconnect, and create lasting memories.

ABOVE THE CLOUDS

One of North Carolina’s Most Extraordinary Private Mountain Estates

Some estates are defined by their architecture. Others by their setting. A select few become enduring legacies, shaped by both.

For generations, Highlands has been one of North Carolina’s most prestigious mountain retreats, where discerning families have gathered to escape the ordinary and embrace a lifestyle defined by privacy, natural beauty, and quiet sophistication. Home to celebrated country clubs, award-winning dining, luxury boutiques, and thousands of protected acres of Blue Ridge wilderness, Highlands has become one of the Southeast’s premier destinations for legacy homes and private mountain estates.

It is within this extraordinary setting that Sagee Manor rises above the Blue Ridge Mountains. Perched atop more than 25 private mountaintop acres, the estate commands uninterrupted 360-degree panoramic views stretching across the Blue Ridge Mountains and into South Carolina. Approached through a private gate, beneath a stately hand-laid stone archway, and along a beautifully landscaped one-third-mile drive, every arrival reinforces the sense that this is a property unlike any other.

Inspired by the great English country estates, yet thoughtfully designed for modern mountain living, the residence balances grandeur with warmth. Rich architectural detailing, handcrafted millwork, natural stone, soaring ceilings, and seven fireplaces create interiors that are both elegant and inviting. The manor offers gracious formal and informal living spaces, a sun-filled garden room, private library, family room, wine cellar, and a charming sleeping porch where cool mountain evenings become part of everyday life. Four luxurious bedroom suites provide exceptional comfort, while every room has been carefully positioned to embrace the surrounding mountain landscape.

Designed to host intimate family gatherings as effortlessly as grand celebrations, Sagee Manor extends well beyond the main residence. A spectacular post-andbeam dining pavilion anchored by dual stone fireplaces creates an unforgettable setting for entertaining, while a beautifully appointed guest cottage with three bedrooms, three baths, full kitchen, and private porch offers complete independence for family and guests.

The surrounding landscape is every bit as extraordinary as the architecture itself. Internationally acclaimed English landscape designer Rosemary Verey created a collection of remarkable garden rooms, including formal cutting, herb, and vegetable gardens framed by native woodlands, flowering meadows, and peaceful walking trails. Every path reveals another carefully composed vista, creating an ever-changing experience throughout the seasons.

Resort-inspired amenities elevate the estate even further, including a heated swimming pool and spa pavilion, croquet court framed by manicured boxwoods, dramatic two-story stone overlook, stone roundel pavilion, and a tiered outdoor amphitheater designed for unforgettable evenings beneath the stars. A private lake with lake house, helipad, equipment buildings, and an on-site manager’s office ensure the estate functions as effortlessly as it inspires.

With adjacent parcels available to expand the estate to nearly 49 acres, Sagee Manor represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of North Carolina’s most remarkable private mountain estates. More than a residence, it is a legacy to be experienced, preserved, and passed from one generation to the next.
