Lakefront living with both water and mountain views! Tucked away on a private, wooded double lot totaling 1.32 acres with approximately 250 feet of lake frontage, this 3BR/2BA retreat offers the perfect setting for relaxation, recreation, or investment. Enjoy stunning views of Bald Mountain Lake and Bald Mountain from the upper screened porch and full-length deck, where natural beauty surrounds you in every season.
Natural light fills this warm and inviting two-level home, with beautiful lake views from nearly every window. The lower level features a private primary suite with ensuite bath, along with a spacious rec room that opens to a covered patio for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining. Spend your days on the dock launching your favorite watercraft, enjoying a lakeside picnic, or simply taking in the peaceful setting and abundant wildlife. In the evenings, gather around the firepit on the lower deck and enjoy cool mountain-lake nights under the stars.
A boathouse with electric lift adds convenience and makes lake living even more enjoyable. Short-term rentals are allowed, and this property is currently an active STR, offering excellent flexibility as a vacation home, second home, or investment opportunity. Showings permitted between bookings. Owners and guests can also enjoy access to Rumbling Bald amenities, including the clubhouse, fitness center, pools, tennis, pickleball, and discounted golf packages. Only a small portion of the lower lot at the lake is in the 100-year flood zone; the house sits notably above this area. Buyer pays one-time capital fee for new owners of $11,000 at closing. There was no water intrusion or damage to house during Helene.
