Come, enjoy yourself and relax at beautiful Lake Gaston on the North Carolina and Virginia border. This three-bedroom, two-bath, cute, lakefront home is located on a short cove just off the main lake on the southwest corner, easily accessible from Interstate 85. The cove water is calm and cool, great for a family, and only 150 yards from the main lake.
Put your boat in at the neighborhood ramp and tie up at the dock, ready for touring the lake, skiing, and fishing. The large dock (25 by 30) provides plenty of space for lunch, swimming, and family events. The deck over the boathouse provides a breathtaking view of the cove and the main lake.
This cozy cottage is comfortable and provides easy living and beautiful views of the waterfront and the lake from the kitchen, living room, and the master bedroom. The cottage is clean and nicely decorated with full wall glass doors for great views of the lake from inside. A covered deck outside the kitchen and living room makes meals with a view a snap at anytime.
Bring your jet-ski, boat, water toys, sunscreen, and fishing poles for a fun, relaxing time with your family. Its an ideal vacation spot for swimming and water activities. Boats and pontoon boats available for rent at local marinas.
The home is located on a short private road and has a large circular stone driveway. The subdivision boat ramp is two doors down and is available for renters. No highway traffic heard from property. It's extremely quiet, except for the frogs and crickets. Convenient to I-85 and I-95. E-mail owner for more pictures, maps and directions if interested. NO SMOKING, NO PETS. Please keep visitors to family members only.
