About This Property
Enjoy the best of both worlds—peaceful lakefront living on the quiet north end of Bald Mountain Lake and access to Lake Lure and all the premier amenities of the Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure community. Nestled in a private cove on this scenic one-mile, non-motorized lake, this property offers the perfect setting for kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing from your private dock. Rumbling Bald amenities include 24-hour security, private beach access, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, additional sports courts, two championship 18-hole golf courses, a fitness center, full-service spa and salon, restaurants, bars, and more. The home has been thoughtfully updated, including a brand-new roof and exterior paint completed in April 2025. Main dock and floating dock resurfaced with Trex decking June 2026. Inside, the open-concept main level features a spacious great room anchored by a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and flows seamlessly into the dining area overlooking the level backyard and fire pit.

The lower level provides two additional bedrooms, a full bath, family room, and recreation room complete with a pool table—ideal for hosting family and friends. A screened porch overlooks the backyard, providing a comfortable space to enjoy the outdoors year-round. Additional features include ample parking and a strong rental history, making this an excellent primary residence, vacation home, or investment opportunity. Contact listing agent for rental history. Available turnkey.
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.
