As you may know, since I have said it often, I love living in Lake Lure, NC.  Having said that, there is another area within 15 minutes from Lake Lure that is worth taking a look at.

Lake Adger is located in Mill Spring, NC which is between Lake Lure and Columbus, NC.  It is a beautiful development on a 438 acre lake possessing natural beauty, privacy, scenic lake views and panoramic mountain views.  This great development has community marina's, parks, miles of walking paths and even equestrian trails.

If you want to get away from it all but still feel like you are at home, then Lake Adger may be for you.

There is a fantastic lake lot for sale on Lake Adger.  To get info about this lot, go to my website www.lakelurerealestateatitsbest.com and look under my listing.  I'd love to help you get away from it all.

Lake Lure is part of the Hickory Nut Gorge.  The Gorge is a special place that holds a lot of myths, tales, and documented information about the Cherokee Indians, mountains characters, and more.

Here are just some of them:

Bat Cave is the largest granite fissure cave in North America.

There are very active resident populations of Indian bats and rare green salamanders that are federally endangered.

Our area is a major energy vortex and there is a geodesic dome that sits on one of the energy vortexes up in the mountains near the Gorge.  This energy is said to make you feel better, and younger.

Stories of mysterious appearances in the Gorge of "other worldly people and events" is well documented in numerouse publications going back to the 1800's.

Hickory Nut Gorge was considered a favorite spiritual area of the Cherokee Indians.  They believed this area was guarded by spirits and you can still hear stories about the "little people".  The mysterious Little People  of Hickory Nut Gorge were part of the drama of tso-lungh, the magical tobacco plant with curative powers. According to the Cherokee legend, Dagul-Ku, the Goose, stole the sacred tobacco plant and took it to the land of Hng,
where the Little People lived. When the Cherokees tried to regain the tobacco, the Little People hurled huge rocks down upon
the warriors. Then an old man magically turned himself into a giant hummingbird whose wings dislodged enormous boulders
and created a giant tornado, which swept away all of the evil spirits in Hickory Nut Gorge. Today, some people insist that when
the weather is just right, you can still see the Little People on the high cliffs of Hickory Nut Gorge. "From Carolina Country Magazine".

Lake Lure is waiting for you to make this your second home, or you can even think about retiring here.  It is a beautiful place with lots of history.  Let me help you find the perfect home or property.  Just contact me at ksamborski2@att.net or call me at 828-447-0147
