About This Property
Enjoy an easy Lake Lure getaway in this completely remodeled Apple Valley Villa located in Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure. This 415-square-foot studio was thoughtfully updated in 2023 to make excellent use of the available space and is well suited for a weekend retreat, vacation property, short-term rental, or low-maintenance mountain home. The open interior features an updated kitchen with attractive cabinetry, butcher-block counters, tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, and a convenient island for dining and additional workspace. The appliances and full-size stacked washer and dryer were installed as part of the 2023 renovation. A built-in Murphy bed allows the main living area to function comfortably during the day and provides generous storage on both sides. Additional features include an electric fireplace with heating and air conditioning, a separate mini-split system, updated flooring and interior paint, a custom-built closet door concealing the washer and dryer, and some attic storage. Most comparable units use a curtain at the laundry closet, making the custom door a particularly nice finishing touch. The bathroom has also been attractively updated with a modern vanity and a clean, solid-feeling tub-and-shower surround. Step outside to the covered porch for a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the wooded mountain setting. One of the biggest advantages of this location is the Rumbling Bald and Lake Lure lifestyle. Rumbling Bald offers an impressive collection of recreational amenities, including golf, lake and beach access, boating and marina facilities, indoor and outdoor swimming, tennis and other court sports, miniature golf, fitness and wellness facilities, dining, walking opportunities, and a full calendar of activities and events. Availability, fees, and use of individual amenities are subject to current community and resort policies. Just across the street and within a short walk is Highlands Market, offering everyday convenience close to home. The Highlands Reserve Restaurant & Bar is also located there, with food, drinks, live music, and a variety of activities and special events. Beyond the resort, Lake Lure and the surrounding Western North Carolina mountains offer boating, fishing, hiking, biking, scenic drives, waterfalls, restaurants, wineries, breweries, and numerous year-round outdoor activities. Chimney Rock Village and Chimney Rock State Park are nearby, and the area provides convenient access to Hendersonville, Asheville, Black Mountain, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Tryon International Equestrian Center is also within driving distance and offers much more than equestrian competition, with an ongoing schedule of events, restaurants, concerts, shows, and family activities. Whether you are looking for a personal mountain escape, an easy-to-maintain Lake Lure property, or a home base for enjoying everything the region has to offer, this updated Apple Valley Villa delivers a great combination of comfort, convenience, and location. The property is being sold as is.
