Cradled in a pristine Alpine setting along 27 miles of shore line in Lake Lure, the community offers all that can be expected of a leading retirement resort.
Of special appeal is the proximity of Fairfield Mountains to a sizable city-Asheville (population of more that 61,000 and growing), only a 45-mile drive. About 90 miles to the east is the state’s largest city, Charlotte, considered by many to be one of the nation’s most attractive metropolitan centers.
Residents enjoy the sense of remoteness from urban tribulations; yet maintain the convenience of easy access to rich cultural, recreational and educational resources.
The Blue Ridge Parkway, a top tourist attraction in itself (with its 250 miles of winding mountain ridge roads, magnificent overlooks, and famous national parks along its route), passes less than 30 miles away.
The homes of two of America’s most distinguished writers, Thomas Wolfe and Carl Sandburg, both within a 40-mile radius of Lake Lure, are preserved for public enjoyment.
Lake Lure resorts have hosted many luminaries, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Emily Post. A book published in 1992 by John Wiley & Sons identified Fairfield Mountains as one of the 99 best residential and recreational communities in America.
