Lake Front Property on majestic Lake Lure! Imagine yourself crunching into a spacious, flat gravel driveway, and upon getting out of your car you find that all you hear are the mountain leaves rustling, speaking peace and calm. As you walk around to the back deck you realize you are not just in a secluded mountain retreat with hardly a neighbor in sight, but you are actually standing on the porch of a water front lake house. The view of Lake Lure beckons you down the back steps to the boathouse in an equally calm cove with that deep, green lake water we all crave. Butter! You will be tempted to jump off the top of boathouse, which is located in a deep water, private cove that has very little boat traffic. The view from the spacious sun deck is spectacular with the rock-faced mountains and a glimpse of Chimney Rock. The interior of the boathouse offers a boat lift and a secure place to store all your lake toys and floats. This is what lake life is all about! Instead of being crammed in with all the lake front neighbors, you head back up to rest in the charmingly updated 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom home on the hill. Before heading inside, you notice the move-in, turn-key condition of this lake retreat with abundant renovations and updates (updates listed below). Once inside, you find a roomy, updated kitchen with plenty of countertop space. A living room with vaulted ceiling, dining area, and one bedroom with an attached updated bathroom rounds out the main level. Going down the stairs you will find a large bedroom with attached dressing area and renovated new bathroom. In addition, there is a 3rd bedroom with attached ½ bath and laundry area. Enjoy your morning coffee while soaking up the mountain views on not one, but two decks, overlooking Lake Lure. It hits you that this could be yours! You could be on coveted Lake Lure, on a secluded cove, in a house where all you have to do is turn the lights on…and for a price point which is few and far between. This is the one! What we love about this home: Easy parking with a flat, drive-up to the house driveway. Outbuilding to store the golf cart (included in sale of house) making zipping to and from the boat house a breeze. Vaulted Ceilings with beams. So Many updates! - All new fiber-cement siding - New exterior paint - New Metal roof - New Heat Pump - New Covered Front Porch - Septic Tank was cleaned out in Spring 2022 - Replaced upper deck with Composite “Trex” Deck boards - Soft close kitchen cabinets - Brand new Master Bathroom with new stand-up tile shower - Brand new Main Level bathroom with new tub and tub surround, vanity, and tile floor - Lockable storage cabinets in Master Dressing room - New Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring on lower level - Some new windows on Main Level - New sliding glass door on Main Level - Interior paint - New Dining area light fixture View More

Nice home with lots of possibilities. Newer updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and custom cabinets. The home has an open floor plan with hardwood floors throughout. Property is surrounded with appealing landscaping and mature trees. This would be great home for a primary residence, vacation home or an income producing rental property. Close to all that Black Mountain has to offer. From the planning board & buyer to verify"Looking at the lot and based on the zoning of TR-4 (town residential), the maximum number of lots would be 13. This does not take in account the existing house or any other encumbrances (i.e., sewer lines, easements, streams, etc.).One to four lots would be considered a minor subdivision and would be approved by staff.More than four lots would be considered a major subdivision and would have additional requirements such as roads, open space requirements, pedestrian circulation, and would have to be approved by the Planning Board."
