HGTV recently revealed its 2026 Dream Home, which fans have a chance to win, along with $100,000 cash prize.
“This home has the perfect balance of lakeside serenity and refined design,” said the home’s interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn, in a press release. “With this year’s HGTV Dream Home, I wanted every detail to mirror the natural beauty of Lake Wylie while creating a space that feels warm, inviting, and effortlessly livable.”

The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home spans more than 3,000 square feet. The home offers unparalleled views of Lake Wylie, North Carolina—just 20 minutes from downtown Charlotte.
Flynn added, “The fact you’re just doing a small commute to something that feels like it’s hundreds of miles away is just magical.”
“This year’s HGTV Dream Home showcases the beauty of Lake Wylie and the unmatched lifestyle of this lakeside destination,” Howard Lee, Chief Creative Officer & President, US Networks, said. “We’re thrilled to invite viewers to explore this stunning retreat and enter for a chance to make it their own.”

Inside the 2026 HGTV Dream Home
Brands such as Sherwin-Williams, Spectrum, SimpliSafe, Stanley Steemer, and Wayfair came together to create this stunning lakefront oasis. The fully-furnished home, in addition to the $100,000 cash prize, is valued at more than $2.4 Million.
The serene property features a private double-decker dock, perfect for boating and fishing, offers additional living and dining spaces. Homeowners can take in their private view of the lake while cozying up by the fire or lounging on their sprawling back deck.
Guests can escape to their quarters, complete with a full en-suite bathroom and separate library space. No detail was spared with this gorgeous estate. The pantry has easy access to the garage via a “Costco door,” the primary bedroom is flooded with natural light from the skylights, the garage is a perfect flex space with a dog wash and ping pong table, and the second-story laundry room doubles as a work-from-home space.
