167 Sheridan Lane

One of the last remaining original summer cottages on Lake Lure. The much-loved Wait House is on the public market for the first time ever. Sitting on 1.1 acres of completely level lakefront property with a jaw-dropping 500+ feet of frontage, this property remains intact and the dwelling unharmed post-Helene. The home itself is a quintessential 1930s lake cottage, with the impeccable nostalgia of a 1960s renovation. This accommodating charmer has two bedrooms and one bathroom with a primary suite featuring peekaboo lake views and a private screened porch, opening out to gardens and the lakefront. This property is planted with dozens of decades-old azaleas, mature flowering and deciduous trees, and very sweet stonework. This property was once a magazine-quality gardener's paradise and a bustling summer getaway -- and with just a little elbow grease and some pruning shears, it will be again! The enormous L-shape of this property creates a meandering estate feel with exceptional privacy provided by the steep upward slope of the lot to the Northeast. With endless views up and down Hickory Nut Gorge and so much level lake frontage, this property is your ideal unpretentious Lake Lure sanctuary! Access and showings by appointment only -- please do not access the property without a licensed agent.
