Former Charlotte Hornets star Nicolas Batum is selling his longtime Lake Norman mansion for $6 million, the property’s listing agent with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty said Friday.
The 10,320-square-foot, Mediterranean-inspired estate has six bedrooms, six full and three half-bathrooms and 1.35 waterfront acres, according to its listing.
Located in the 18300 block of Nantz Road in Cornelius, the mansion includes “extensive architectural detailing, soaring ceilings, custom millwork, hardwood flooring and expansive lakefront living spaces throughout,” Michelle Rhyne, global real estate adviser with Premier Sotheby’s Lake Norman office said in a statement.

The estate “served as a private retreat” for Batum and his family throughout his years with the Hornets, Rhyne said. The family has owned the estate since 2016, she said.
