North Carolina lake communities have several of the finest spots and present a respite from our hectic pace of life.
Fontana Trace is positioned on beautiful Fontana Lake which is 11,700 acres in size with two hundred and forty miles of shoreline. Fontana Lake is situated in Western North Carolina, off Bryson City. 90% of the land encircling the lake belongs to the National Park Service and the US Forest Service. Deep in the Pisgah National Forest, the Fontana Trace community is not very big, covering two hundred and fifty acres and seventy houses. Its minimal homeowner’s fees make this a very affordable community. Fontana Trace has a harbor on the lake, for fishing and boating access, a swimming pool in resort style, hiking trails that are looked after, locations for outdoor cooking and picnics, a clubhouse that has a wonderful room and a kitchen which can be hired for functions.
Nestled in the mountains in Western North Carolina about forty minutes away from Bryson City, is Lake Santeetlah. Lake Santeetlah is around three thousand acres amidst the 1.35 million acre Nantahala National Forest and the habitat of a 10 acre community known as Santeetlah Lakeside and definitely one of the finest locations for retirement snow birds. Houses on the lakefront have a dock for themselves and lakeview houses have a allocated dock in the community’s marina. The community has an outdoor hearth, a room for games, a clubhouse on the lake with a roofed deck, launching area, hiking trails and kayak/canoe storage.
Also in the mountains of Western North Carolina is Grey Rock at Lake Lure. The lake covers approximately 720 acres. The surrounding cities and towns are Asheville and Charlotte (22 miles and 2 hours respectively), Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Grey Rock is a fantastic Carolina retirement community of forty hundred acres and nine hundred houses. Facilities include lakeside clubhouse with docks, lots of space and hiking trails. You can fish in the creeks and streams, and 2,500 acres are kept aside as green space. Proposed facilities will be a helipad, tennis and swimming facilities, and an equestrian center.
Lake Hickory is a narrow lake of 4,100 acres. The Lake Hickory area has been increasing in the last few years as a result of its nearness to large cities. Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Asheville are not very far away. The Oliver’s Landing community will put you in a great position to enjoy it all. It covers three hundred and six acres, with 330 dwellings to be built. The facilities include an 18-hole semi-private golf course, designed by Karl Litton, match play, prop shop, clinics, clubhouse, informal dining and privileged boat launch.
