A rare opportunity to own a piece of Bald Mountain Lake history! One of the early homes built along the lake, this cherished waterfront retreat has been lovingly owned by only two owners since its original construction. Homes like this—single-family, waterfront, private dock, mountain views, and within easy reach of Rumbling Bald amenities—are rarely offered for sale.

Previously known as “Mixon’s Lake Retreat,” this property embodies the true Lakehouse lifestyle. Its original mountain Lakehouse character has been thoughtfully preserved, offering the charm and feeling of a classic Lake Lure retreat rather than a recently renovated or overly polished vacation home. There is something special about a lake house that feels like a lake house—the kind of place where generations gather, doors open to the deck, swimsuits hang by the door, and life naturally slows down.

Here, the days are about enjoying the water, gathering with family and friends, and taking in the beauty of the setting. Step outside and launch a kayak or paddleboard from your private dock, spend the afternoon on the water, or simply relax on the deck with the lake and long-range mountain views stretching before you. As the sun sets behind the Blue Ridge Mountains, you'll understand the timeless appeal of this special place.

The location is exceptional. Situated on West Lake Drive N, this is the closest single-family waterfront home to Rumbling Bald’s amenities, offering easy access by foot or golf cart to golf, dining, pools, the Wellness Center, and activities for all ages. You can also enjoy the unique advantage of being within walking distance of Rumbling Bald’s private Lake Lure beach—giving you access to both Bald Mountain Lake and Lake Lure.

Inside, walls of windows bring the outdoors in and showcase the lake and mountains from nearly every main living space. The main level offers a welcoming living and dining area, primary bedroom, full bath, laundry, and access to the wraparound deck. Upstairs are two guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a comfortable sitting area. The lower level adds a recreation room, game area, half bath, and direct access to the waterfront and private dock.

While the home retains its classic mountain Lakehouse character, it has also benefited from numerous improvements over the years, making it a wonderful opportunity for someone who appreciates its existing charm and wants to personalize it over time. Bring your vision, preserve what makes it special, and create your own chapter in the story of this Lake Lure retreat.

Whether you envision a personal mountain getaway, full-time residence, family retreat, vacation rental, or investment opportunity, this is a rare chance to own a truly special piece of Bald Mountain Lake.

Private dock. Waterfront living. Long-range mountain views. Classic Lakehouse character. Golf-cart access to amenities. Lake Lure beach nearby. A true lake-and-mountain lifestyle.

Buy the opportunity—not just the house.
