About this home

# A Legacy on the Lake. A Lifestyle Beyond Compare. Along the picturesque shores of Lake Lure, an extraordinary waterfront estate awaits—where timeless Tuscan-inspired architecture, rich history, and an exceptional lakefront lifestyle come together in a setting of remarkable beauty. Privately situated on nearly an acre, this distinctive residence offers a rare combination of expansive waterfront grounds, extraordinary boating amenities, and the unmistakable charm of a home designed to be enjoyed for generations. Originally built in 1941 as the first residence on this coveted cove, the property holds a special place in Lake Lure's history. Its enduring architectural character and inviting atmosphere create a sense of place that simply cannot be replicated. Spanning three levels and approximately 2,800 square feet, the villa blends classic elegance with modern comfort. Beautiful hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, and welcoming living spaces provide the perfect backdrop for both intimate gatherings and gracious entertaining. Three ensuite bedrooms offer private accommodations, while a fourth bedroom and two additional half baths provide flexibility for family and guests. Beyond the main residence, a detached garage is complemented by a dedicated artist's studio above—a distinctive and inspiring space for creative pursuits, personal reflection, or simply enjoying a peaceful retreat. Generous parking, an exceptional luxury along this stretch of Lake Lure shoreline, makes welcoming family and friends effortless. Yet it is outdoors where this remarkable estate truly distinguishes itself. A sweeping lawn gently descends toward the water, framed by mature trees and established landscaping. A brand-new deck offers an inviting vantage point from which to enjoy the changing colors of the lake and surrounding landscape. At the water's edge, an extraordinary collection of boating and entertaining amenities transforms everyday lake living into something exceptional. A double boathouse, two additional boat slips, and room to accommodate two more boats offer remarkable flexibility for life on the water. The waterfront bar and covered entertaining pavilion create a destination all their own—a place for leisurely afternoons, sunset cocktails, and unforgettable evenings surrounded by the beauty of Lake Lure. As twilight settles over the cove and warm lights begin to shimmer across the water, the estate reveals its most enchanting character. **This is more than a waterfront home. It is a place to gather, to celebrate, to create traditions, and to become part of a legacy that began more than eight decades ago.** A rare opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of Lake Lure's waterfront heritage.
