698 Youngs Mountain Drive, Lake Lure, NC 28746

Come for the views—stay for the lifestyle. This mountain retreat with access to Rumbling Bald Resort delivers jaw-dropping, front-row panoramas you simply can’t replace. Whether you’re looking for a full-time home, a lock-and-leave second escape, or a turnkey short-term rental (permitted), this property checks the boxes buyers wait years to find: a massive, long-range view, resort amenities at a fraction of the typical cost, practical storage, and true main-level living in a solid, established home. Priced BELOW tax value—this is a standout opportunity. Lake Lure is coming back stronger than ever; the seller’s timing is your advantage. Oriented to the panorama at every turn, the home lives beautifully indoors and out. Wake up to the view from the primary suite, then step onto the wraparound deck—your outdoor living room for morning coffee above the clouds, golden-hour ridge lines, and star-filled nights over the lake. Inside, the main level feels grand yet comfortable with expansive ceilings, exposed beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the scenery like artwork. Radiant floor heat keeps the great room cozy year-round. The private primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with an integrated office/study, a generous ensuite bath, and two walk-in closets. A smart split-bedroom plan provides privacy with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on the main level. The open kitchen anchors everyday living and entertaining, complete with a serving bar that keeps the chef connected to the view, while an additional wet bar makes hosting effortless. Downstairs, the 2-car garage opens to bonus storage/workshop space—ideal for golf clubs, bikes, kayaks, and seasonal gear. The home is in great condition with only light TLC needed, and there’s an option to purchase furnished—just bring a bag and settle in. An additional lot (***YOU ONLY PAY DUES ON LOT - NOT ON THE HOME!!!) conveys, helping protect your long-range view corridor for years to come!!! Life at Rumbling Bald puts the best of Lake Lure at your doorstep: a private beach and marina, two championship golf courses—Bald Mountain Golf Course and Apple Valley Golf Course—indoor and outdoor pools, fitness and wellness center, tennis and pickleball, spa/sauna, mini-golf, walking paths, lake activities, and onsite dining. It’s a gated community with easy access to the Village of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock for shops, cafés, and seasonal events—plus nearby groceries, healthcare, and regional dining. Bonus: lower dues and buy-in because you’re paying on the lot only, not the homesite—a fraction of typical resort costs. Happy to share details or point you to the RB site for specifics.
