Description

A Priced-to-Sell Mountain Hideaway Unlike Any Other —
Some homes simply have a setting. Others have a feeling the moment you arrive. Tucked into the natural beauty of Youngs Mountain in Rumbling Bald, this distinctive mountain retreat is surrounded by impressive natural boulders, mature trees, and the peaceful scenery that makes Lake Lure so special. Here, nature isn't just the backdrop—it's part of the home's character.
Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original mountain charm, this inviting home blends rustic personality with modern comforts. The refreshed kitchen features butcher-block countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a large stainless steel sink, and a convenient coffee and tea station—perfect for easing into a peaceful mountain morning. Enjoy beautiful seasonal mountain and Lake Lure views from the kitchen window during the fall and winter months. The bathrooms have been attractively updated with modern vanities, an upgraded shower, and tile flooring, and a primary bathroom has been added for enhanced convenience. A dedicated laundry closet with a full-size washer and dryer adds to the home's everyday functionality. This home offers two traditional bedrooms on the main level, plus an inviting upstairs loft/bedroom that provides additional flexibility for guests, a private retreat, or a cozy bonus space.
Beyond the visible updates, the home has benefited from significant additional improvements, including electrical wiring, a brand-new 3-ton variable-speed inverter heat pump and indoor air handler, along with plumbing repairs and upgrades following a water-line failure associated with community water-pressure conditions during Hurricane Helene. Additional crawl-space improvements include a vapor barrier, fungal treatment, and moisture-related measures. These improvements complement the home's thoughtful interior updates and add modern comfort to its distinctive mountain character.
Inside, the cozy stone fireplace creates a welcoming gathering place on cool mountain evenings. Whether you're sharing stories after a day outdoors or curling up with a good book, the comfortable atmosphere invites you to slow down, unplug, and enjoy your surroundings.
Step outside onto the composite deck, replaced in 2023,where dramatic natural boulder formations create a setting unlike any other. Sip your morning coffee as the mountains wake up, enjoy the vibrant colors of autumn, or take in the seasonal views of Lake Lure as the leaves fall and the winter landscape opens up. As evening settles in, gather around the cozy fire pit beneath the mountain sky. It's the kind of outdoor setting that makes an ordinary evening feel like a getaway.
Beyond your own retreat, enjoy the Rumbling Bald lifestyle, with two championship golf courses—Apple Valley and Bald Mountain—along with a private beach on Lake Lure, marina, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a lazy river, fitness and wellness facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, mini golf, walking and hiking trails, spa services, and community dining. Whether your idea of the perfect day involves a round of golf, time on the water, exploring the trails, or simply relaxing in the mountains, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the community.
Whether you're searching for a personal mountain escape, a second home to share with family and friends, or a property with potential for vacation rental use, this special hideaway offers a combination of natural beauty, thoughtful updates, significant system improvements, and original mountain character that is hard to replicate.
