This charming home has so much to offer! It's fenced with a large detached garage, and includes a fireplace, a full basement, screened patio, beautiful yard and more! You'll enjoy a pleasing, southern view of heavy tree coverage from this incredibly private location. Found in the end of a cul-de-sac in Phase 7 of Hearthstone Ridge, there's only one other house - tucked behind a long driveway - and not visible from this one. Found on the north edge of the gated community, behind this house is a 382-acre farm, which is heavily wooded as it meets the shared border. On the main floor, the west side of the central staircase features the primary bedroom - the other side features the living, kitchen and dining areas (plus the fireplace and basement access). A jack & jill full bath is accessible from either side. Hardwood (hickory) flooring is found throughout this level. The second level is floored in pine, and sports two generous bedrooms and the second full bathroom between. The basement features the laundry area (washer/dryer conveys), and an incredibly efficient GE GeoSpring heat-pump water heater. You'll also find the air-handling unit of the Carrier heat pump system, along with ample, dry storage. There's access to the screened-in patio and large garage, where a riding lawn mower waits for its new owner. Starlink, Spectrum cable or T-Mobile Home Internet are all great options for supplying your internet needs and staying connected. (Starlink equipment is included, just establish an account.) This home is on a private well and a (recently pumped) septic system. (We have excellent water in north Rutherford County!) Outside, located behind the insulated out-building, is an underground propane tank that feeds an emergency generator as well as the fireplace. One fenced area (off the screened porch) is alongside and behind the house, the sides and front yards are also fenced, and only separated by the concrete driveway. Siding is low-maintenance HardieBoard, while thick, architectural shingles cover the roof. Hearthstone Ridge is five miles north of Rutherfordton, the seat of Rutherford County in western North Carolina. Featuring two gated entrances, the community sits just fourteen miles south of Interstate 40.

Some properties are built on the land. Others are created from it. Welcome to Frog Creek Lodge, a one-of-a-kind 6,354-sq-ft custom mountain estate perched near the highest point of 13.98 unrestricted acres. Enjoy exceptional privacy and mountain views from multiple directions throughout much of the home, including a ridge protected by a conservation easement. No HOA or deed restrictions. Distinctive poplar bark siding and stone exterior introduce craftsmanship rarely found today: 10 species of wood harvested from the property, hand-hewn timbers, natural stone, wrought-iron railings, a striking tree-trunk support, and custom cabinetry throughout. The land itself is woven into the character of this remarkable home. The main level features soaring ceilings and open living, dining, and kitchen areas with expansive windows and double sliding doors opening to approximately 1,195 sq ft of cedar decking. Imagine morning coffee overlooking the ridges or gathering with friends as the sun sets over the mountains.

The approximately 2,100-sq-ft lower level features 9-ft ceilings, a custom bar, gas stove/fireplace, separate full kitchen, office, gym, and an expansive open area for games, TV, and conversation. Double sliding doors open to the patio, allowing gatherings to flow effortlessly outdoors. A mechanical room provides access to the home's systems, while a separate safe room adds peace of mind. Outside is an escape all its own, with expansive cedar decks and covered patio areas, an open stamped-concrete patio, multiple firepit gathering spots, a 7-person hot tub, and hard-plumbed propane connections for a grill and griddle. From quiet mornings wrapped in mountain mist to evenings around the fire, there's a place for every season and occasion. Grounds include paved parking, a substantial stone retaining wall, thoughtfully selected landscaping, a fenced front yard, and sprinkler system. Features include radiant floor heat on the main and lower levels, recirculating hot water, central vacuum, phone-controlled thermostats, security system, and a 22-kW whole-house generator with its own buried 1,000-gallon propane tank; a separate buried 500-gallon tank serves the home.

# A Legacy on the Lake. A Lifestyle Beyond Compare. Along the picturesque shores of Lake Lure, an extraordinary waterfront estate awaits—where timeless Tuscan-inspired architecture, rich history, and an exceptional lakefront lifestyle come together in a setting of remarkable beauty. Privately situated on nearly an acre, this distinctive residence offers a rare combination of expansive waterfront grounds, extraordinary boating amenities, and the unmistakable charm of a home designed to be enjoyed for generations. Originally built in 1941 as the first residence on this coveted cove, the property holds a special place in Lake Lure's history. Its enduring architectural character and inviting atmosphere create a sense of place that simply cannot be replicated. Spanning three levels and approximately 2,800 square feet, the villa blends classic elegance with modern comfort. Beautiful hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, and welcoming living spaces provide the perfect backdrop for both intimate gatherings and gracious entertaining. Three ensuite bedrooms offer private accommodations, while a fourth bedroom and two additional half baths provide flexibility for family and guests. Beyond the main residence, a detached garage is complemented by a dedicated artist's studio above—a distinctive and inspiring space for creative pursuits, personal reflection, or simply enjoying a peaceful retreat. Generous parking, an exceptional luxury along this stretch of Lake Lure shoreline, makes welcoming family and friends effortless. Yet it is outdoors where this remarkable estate truly distinguishes itself. A sweeping lawn gently descends toward the water, framed by mature trees and established landscaping. A brand-new deck offers an inviting vantage point from which to enjoy the changing colors of the lake and surrounding landscape. At the water's edge, an extraordinary collection of boating and entertaining amenities transforms everyday lake living into something exceptional. A double boathouse, two additional boat slips, and room to accommodate two more boats offer remarkable flexibility for life on the water. The waterfront bar and covered entertaining pavilion create a destination all their own—a place for leisurely afternoons, sunset cocktails, and unforgettable evenings surrounded by the beauty of Lake Lure. As twilight settles over the cove and warm lights begin to shimmer across the water, the estate reveals its most enchanting character. **This is more than a waterfront home. It is a place to gather, to celebrate, to create traditions, and to become part of a legacy that began more than eight decades ago.** A rare opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of Lake Lure's waterfront heritage.
