About this home

Tucked inside the gates of Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure, this inviting mountain retreat offers space, comfort, and a peaceful natural setting on .87 acres. Surrounded by mountain views, the property creates a true sense of escape while still being close to everything. Designed for both relaxation and gathering, the home features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a main-level bedroom and full bath for added convenience. Each level offers its own space to unwind, from the cozy living room with a stone fireplace to the lower-level den and game room. Perfect for a game of pool, movie nights, or hosting guests. Updated decks provide multiple outdoor living areas in the serene natural setting. One deck area has easy access from the kitchen, ideal for morning coffee or evenings spent taking in the mountain air. After a day of exploring, unwind in the private sauna inside the home or retreat to the lower-level bonus space with a separate entrance. This bonus area is perfect for a workshop, art studio, or relaxed bar/lounge. Located just minutes from outdoor adventures like Chimney Rock State Park, hiking, rafting, and horseback riding, this home also includes access to Rumbling Bald’s sought-after amenities, including a private beach, wellness center, multiple pools, restaurants, cabana, and two championship golf courses. This mountain getaway was operating as a successful short-term rental and is offered fully furnished, including the pool table, making it a turnkey opportunity in one of Lake Lure’s most desirable gated communities. Both sliding doors have just been updated and some decks are newly updated. More than one photo has been virtually staged.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
