This location is also under 40 minutes to the south of the eclectic small town Black Mountain, and under an hour to the southeast of Asheville, famously known as home to the Biltmore Estate.
Closer to the properties, is Lake Lure, known as one of the finer man-made lakes in NC. The lake is surrounded by lush mountain tops and sheer granite cliffs. The lake offers opportunities for boating, fishing, and there’s even a beachfront!!
