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.

Ed, love the lake shots.  We spend a lot of time on a little man made lake, Lake Raymond Gary.  We love it.  I've shot some storm shots, it's just hard to get the raindrops to show up.  Don't you just love being on the water!!

Ed the photos are great!  I love water shots of lakes.  I used to spend summers on a lake in Canada, and it is so neat.

Ed, the photos of the lake are beautiful.  I love the movie Dirty Dancing, and surprised it was made in NC amd not NY.

Gorgeous photos, Ed.  I have a client who is a Realtor® in that area.  It is absolutely beautiful there.  You can see why the Dirty Dancing film crew chose it.  Thank you for sharing.  As a movie and nature buff, I love it.

Terry, in keeping with the movie trivia, the film was shot in late October. the water was frigid, which was why there  were no closeups of the lift scenes in the lake. Also, every morning the trees were sprayed green to make it look like mid summer.

I have never been to that part of the east coast, although I grew up in New England. The shots are lovely!
