Why the Owner Chose Henrico
Lake Gaston is a well kept secret. When traveling on I-85, one crosses the lake at a very unscenic location. When one is traveling on I-95, there is no hint that a gorgeous lake is just to the west. Even within North Carolina, people do not know about Lake Gaston. It is a pleasure living here and enjoying the perfect climate.
There is a lot going on in the area.

Owner's Map of Henrico
After living near the ocean in the Myrtle Beach area, it is wonderful to swim in a freshwater lake. No sand, no hurricanes, no traffic, the life is easy and the climate mild. Plus there aren't any alligators in the rivers here!
