Lake Lure

Lake Lure, NC is considered one of the prettiest lakes in all of North Carolina, if not the U.S. Located in the foothills of the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, the lake sits in the Hickory Nut Gorge, surrounded by lush mountaintops and sheer granite cliffs. One of the area's iconic landmarks is Chimney Rock, a large granite outcropping that is accessible by car.

If you're looking for a relaxed lifestyle, Lake Lure is the perfect place. Sitting just off the lake, the Rumbling Bald Resort at Lake Lure features two championship golf courses, swimming, dining and dancing for residents and guests. The area is also home to the famous 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa, which boasts lots of local history and a brush with Hollywood (the movie “Dirty Dancing” was filmed here).

While Lake Lure is primarily vacation homes, year-round residents are increasing as Baby Boomers retire and look for a quiet, scenic spot to spend their golden years. You'll find a wide selection of styles and price points in our Lake Lure homes.
