“Mixon's Lake Retreat” is now being offered for sale-a rare opportunity to own a waterfront mountain retreat inside the gates of Rumbling Bald that guests and families have returned to year after year to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of lake and mountain living. Lake living the way it was meant to be-simple, peaceful, and connected to nature. This is the kind of place you come to unplug from the busyness of the world and settle into a slower pace-where mornings begin with coffee on the deck, days are spent on the water, and evenings end under the mountain sky. Properties offering this combination of waterfront living, mountain views, and location inside Rumbling Bald are rare. Surrounded by walls of windows and natural light, the home was designed to capture the beauty of the lake and surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains from nearly every main living space. This property offers a truly unique combination-the closest single-family home on West Lake Drive to the amenities, while also featuring both waterfront living and long-range mountain views-allowing you to enjoy privacy, nature, and convenience all in one setting. Set on Bald Mountain Lake with your own private dock and direct access to the non-motorized lake, you can step outside and immediately enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply the quiet of the water. Just as rare, you're also within walking distance to the private beach on Lake Lure, giving you the best of both worlds-peaceful lake living with access to the main lake experience. The convenience here is unmatched-enjoy easy access to golf, dining, the Wellness Center, and amenities for all ages, just a short walk or golf-cart ride away, while still feeling tucked away in a private natural setting. Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and designed for relaxed lake living. The main level offers a comfortable living and dining area, primary suite, full bath, laundry, and wraparound deck access that brings the outdoors in.
