This exceptional, renovated 1970s lakefront cottage is designed with a reverse floor plan that provides direct access from the main living areas to the water for true lake living. Whether coming in from a morning paddle, an afternoon swim, or a sunset boat ride, the flow between indoors and out makes entertaining—and everyday life—feel natural and easy. Features include original period floors, an arched entry, and painted geometric balustrades on the expansive upper-level screened porch that blends vintage character with thoughtful updates. The open floor plan creates an easy, inviting flow ideal for entertaining and lake living. Expansive deck space offers multiple areas for outdoor dining, lounging, and enjoying peaceful water and mountain views. Property includes a rare double boathouse with deep water (buyer to verify) mechanical boat lift, an expansive party deck, a private high dive, and a covered gazebo, perfect for hosting summer gatherings. Property also features a third covered boat slip! (There’s also level parking for four at the road!) Enjoy rare, step-free access directly to the water, making lakeside fun effortless for all ages. Ideally positioned just off the main channel in a private, quiet sunny cove with beautiful, expansive water and mountain views, the property is being sold with a 0.53-acre buildable lot, but is optional in the sale, behind Rumbling Bald Resort to provide the owner private access via a short boat ride to all resort recreational amenities for the deeded lot owners, including world-class golf, a wellness center, a private beach, restaurants, tennis and pickleball courts, and more year-round recreational activities which requires $3,911.00 in yearly HOA dues. Connected to the Town of Lake Lure sewer; private well; ATT Fiber Optic. Currently operating as a luxury short-term vacation rental with Yonder Luxury Vacation Rentals.
