Wanted to share some photos we just took on Lake Lure in the North Carolina Mountains, about 20 miles below Asheville, NC. The lake and town is Lake Lure. Properties along this lake with 25 miles of shoreline are rather large with the appropriate values associated with it.
The lake is man-made, but well thought out and now protected. One of the tid bits of history for the lake was that the film Dirty Dancing, was filmed here, and not as thought in the Catskills Mountains of New York state. Most of the buildings set up for the movie are gone, but those famed steps that Jennifer Gray walked up with her watermelon are still there.
While on a lake boat ride, an rain storm came up, made for a quick return, and a wet one.
Above photo is the lake cove where the film was shot.
The value of a small 'cottage' on this lake starts at around $600,000. The largest home currently completed has 12,000 sq ft of living space, and is about to be eclipsed.
Turn the boat around, that's headed our way, also the end of these shots, water started to kick up.
