Privacy, seasonal Lake Lure views, and extensive improvements distinguish this spacious home behind the gates of Rumbling Bald. Encompassing the end of a cul-de-sac and extending approximately halfway up the street, the property offers a wooded setting on one of the community’s rare streets served by community sewer. This well-maintained 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home provides versatile spaces for everyday living, hosting guests, and enjoying a mountain-lake retreat. Used primarily as a part-time residence, the home has been rented only lightly, with the owners prioritizing care and quality over maximizing rental revenue. Its vacation rental history offers a starting point for buyers interested in exploring expanded rental use, complemented by its location behind the security gates and proximity to amenities. The main level features an open great room, beautiful kitchen, dining and breakfast areas, a primary ensuite bedroom, two guest bedrooms, and a guest bathroom. A laundry closet includes a washer and evaporative dryer, while the oversized garage offers an EV charger and an additional dryer. The guest bedroom above the garage is currently furnished with two beds and offers ample space for added flexibility to the layout. Multiple decks on the main and lower levels extend the living space outdoors, including an expanded deck off the walkout basement. A screened porch on the main level is accessible from the breakfast area, main-level primary suite, and great room, offers an inviting place to relax among the trees and enjoy seasonal lake views. The finished lower level boasts a spacious second primary suite, living area, sauna, full bath, and half bath, and provides generous space for entertaining, playing pool, or simply unwinding. Effective August 2026, the POA eliminated the Capital Fund Fee for new members, adding to the appeal of ownership in this amenity-rich mountain-lake community. Rumbling Bald’s amenities include 24/7 security, a private beach and marina, lake access, two 18-hole golf courses, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, additional sports courts, restaurants and bars, and a full-service salon and spa. Furnishings are available with an acceptable offer, subject to exclusions. With its private setting, extensive updates, and versatile layout, this home is well suited for a primary residence, personal retreat, or continued vacation rental use. EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE interior painting, hardwood flooring in the main-level bedrooms, and luxury vinyl plank flooring on the lower level. Kitchen and breakfast-area finishes, dining and breakfast-area light fixtures, LED closet lighting throughout, and breakfast-area door and window glass have also been updated. The gas fireplace features a vent-free burner without a standing pilot. Additional improvements include HVAC equipment with smart thermostats, a tankless propane water heater, appliances, a radon mitigation system, a security system, and a sauna heating unit. Exterior wood is treated annually to help prevent carpenter bees. Request the detailed features and improvements list for the full scope of updates.
