About This Property

Beautiful lakefront retreat in the gated 3,000-acre community of Gateway Mountain. This spacious 4-bedroom home backs directly to Lake George and includes a private walking path to both the lake and a nearby waterfall. The main level features an open floor plan with wood floors, a fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen with new appliances. A large screened-in deck and an expansive open deck overlook the nature preserve and Lake George—perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

The lower level offers generous flex space ideal for a home theater, office, recreation room, or additional guest space. The front yard includes a Pollinator Garden and three fruit trees (orange, nectarine, and peach).

Recent improvements include a brand-new metal roof and a new water pressure tank. Adjacent Lot 878 is included, offering potential long-range views and an excellent opportunity to build a second home or cabin for short-term vacation rentals.

Gateway Mountain provides easy access to Old Fort, Black Mountain, and Asheville—less than an hour away. This home sustained no damage from Helene and is truly move-in ready.

Seller is willing to include all furniture with an acceptable offer.
