143 Laurel Bluff

There is nothing that captures the spirit of Lake Gaston quite like a rustic cabin perched on a hill overlooking the main lake. Perfectly named Laurel Cabin, this is the kind of place that instantly slows you down. The moment you step onto the screened porch and see the rocking chairs waiting, you know you've arrived somewhere special--a place for afternoon lake breezes, morning coffee, and the stories you'll tell for years to come. Inside, the open floor plan is anchored by beautiful plank hardwood floors, a real stone fireplace, and a wall of windows framing the lake. Throw open the double doors to the expansive lakeside deck, where there's plenty of room for dining/lounging/more. With a north-facing perspective overlooking Mile 13, you'll enjoy both sunrises & sunsets, while the western views offer what many consider some of the best sunsets on the lake. You're also just minutes by boat to some of the lake's favorite marinas & waterfront dining. The original cabin, built in 1973, was carefully expanded and renovated in 1990, adding the lakeside windows, a standing seam metal roof, and a lower level. The primary bath was updated around 2020. Downstairs, you'll find a bedroom, a full bath with tub, and flexible space ready to fit your needs. A charming spiral staircase adds just the right touch of whimsy to this cozy retreat that invites bare feet, board games, and unhurried weekends. A new dock will be needed, but the setting is already here--deep water perfect for dock jumping, a main lake location, and a beautiful canvas for creating your own vision. Enjoy swimming from the existing dock while you plan your perfect boathouse. Put down the phones, wander the property, and settle into the rocking chairs. Laurel Cabin will keep you.
