698 Youngs Mountain Drive Come for the views-stay for the lifestyle!!!! Bring an offer and make this Mountain retreat with access to Rumbling Bald with jaw-dropping, front-row views you don't want to miss out on! Formerly a successful vacation rental with room to expand and now available for private enjoyment or future income potential (short-term rentals permitted per community guidelines), this home is oriented to the panorama at every turn!!! A wraparound deck becomes your outdoor living room-morning coffee above the clouds, golden hour on the ridge lines, and star-filled nights over the lake. Inside, the main level lives dramatically large with expansive ceilings, exposed beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the view like artwork. Radiant floor heating keeps the great room warm and welcoming through all four seasons!!! The private primary suite is a quiet refuge with an incorporated office/study for work-from-mountain days, a generous ensuite bath, and two walk-in closets. A smart split-bedroom layout enhances privacy, with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on the main. The open kitchen anchors everyday living and entertaining with a serving bar that keeps the chef connected to the view, while an additional wet bar makes hosting effortless. On the lower level, a 2-car garage opens to extra storage/workshop space for gear, golf clubs, bikes, kayaks, and holiday bins. The home is in great condition with only light TLC needed, and there's an option to purchase furnished-just bring a bag and move in. An additional lot conveys to help protect your long-range view corridor for the years ahead. Life at Rumbling Bald Resort brings the best of Lake Lure to your doorstep: a private beach and marina, two championship golf courses (Bald Mountain & Apple Valley), indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness/wellness center, tennis and pickleball, spa/sauna, mini-golf, walking paths, lake activities, and multiple onsite dining options. It's a gated community with easy access to the Village of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock for shops, cafes, and seasonal events, plus nearby groceries, healthcare, and regional dining-everything you need, with the mountain-lake setting you want. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a second-home escape, or a turnkey rental once registered, this property delivers a rare combination: massive view, resort amenities, practical storage, and true main-level living. Right at tax value, you won't want to miss this one and you don't have the higher dues because you are only paying on the lot, not the homesite!!!! Reach out with any questions!
