About This Property
Perched on a rolling, wooded 0.84-acre lot in Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure, this recently updated three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers long-range mountain views and 1,967 total square feet across the main level and finished walk-out basement. The kitchen was renovated with new cabinets, counters, and lighting, opening to a living room with a gas fireplace. A new HVAC system was installed in July 2026. The main level includes two primary suites, while the walk-out basement adds a bedroom/bonus room and a separate exercise room — flexible space for guests, a home gym, or an office. A screened rear porch overlooks the wooded lot, and the attached two-car garage adds convenience. Built in 1989, the home is served by a heat pump, city water, and septic. Rumbling Bald is a gated community on Lake Lure offering two 18-hole golf courses (Apple Valley and Bald Mountain), a private beach and marina, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and miles of hiking trails.

About the Neighborhood
Homes for sale in 28746 offer buyers a genuine mountain lifestyle in Marion, the McDowell County seat approximately 75 miles west of Charlotte via I-40, a small city positioned at the base of the Black Mountains with extraordinary outdoor recreation access and an authentic Appalachian character that distinguishes it from more heavily developed western Carolina communities. The residential landscape features mid-century brick ranch homes, traditional mountain cottages, and newer construction on generous lots, with a growing inventory of custom mountain homes responding to increased interest from buyers seeking Blue Ridge access at competitive price points. Downtown Marion along South Main Street anchors a revitalizing commercial identity, and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail corridor and Linville Gorge Wilderness, one of the most dramatic wilderness areas in the eastern United States. provide exceptional hiking and outdoor recreation directly within the county. Lake James State Park, featuring one of the cleanest lakes in the Carolinas for paddling and swimming, is within 15 minutes. The 28746 real estate market delivers mountain access, outdoor recreation proximity, and Appalachian character at price points that remain genuinely compelling relative to Asheville and the broader WNC market.
