Shelton's Way -Fire Pit, Pet Friendly, Lake Access

PET-FRIENDLY * FIREPLACE * INDOOR JACUZZI * SCREENED PORCH * LAKE ACCESS * PAVED DRIVE

Shelton's Way is Pet-Friendly and Conveniently Located

This lovely home is located in the community of North Highland Farms at Lake Adger, just minutes from Lake Lure, Chimney Rock Village, and Chimney Rock State Park. With its paved roads and beautiful natural surroundings, this is an ideal home to bring your bikes—there are miles of easy riding for you to enjoy the fresh air and mountain scenery. Your four-legged family members are also welcome here! This home is 12.7 miles from the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC), 13 miles from the beach at Lake Lure, and 14.3 miles from Chimney Rock State Park.

You are also welcome to bring your boat (contact us for size limitations, regulations, etc.); the Lake Adger, a public access site, is a half-mile from the home. The lake is 438 acres with 14 miles of pristine shoreline and offers great fishing. If you want to put in a Lake Lure, the access site is about a half-mile from home (Lake Lure requires a visitor permit).

Mountain Comfort
Whether you want to get away for a relaxing vacation or a long weekend, this beautiful home offers all the comforts you would expect. On the main floor is a functional kitchen complete with a dishwasher, refrigerator, range, microwave, and coffee maker. The main floor also offers a stone fireplace in the living room for cool or romantic evenings, a washer/dryer in the half bath, and a master suite with a queen bed plus a full bath with double vanity and jetted bathtub.

Upstairs, you will find a full bath and 2 additional bedrooms (1 with a queen bed, the other with 2 comfortable twin-size beds). Shelton's Way also has a full basement that can be used for exercising, hobbies, and more. Enjoy the natural surroundings, play on Lake Adger, or relax on the screened porch or open deck for peace and serenity.

So Much to Enjoy
This area offers several activity options and some of the most beautiful views you will ever see. See the Amenities and Notes for just a sampling of what the area has to offer.

Be Our Guest
Pack your clothes, pick up some groceries (an Ingles Market is just minutes away), and then sit back, relax, and enjoy all this area Lake Adger and Shelton's Way have to offer. We look forward to you being our guest!

You are also welcome to bring your boat (contact us for size limitations, regulations, etc.); the Lake Adger public access site is less than a mile away. The lake is approximately 400 acres, offers great fishing, and is only 11-12 miles from Lake Lure.

This home is 12.7 miles from the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC), 13 miles from the beach at Lake Lure, and 14.3 miles from Chimney Rock State Park.

*** Summer 2025 - Lake Lure Update ***

Per the website www.townoflakelure.com: Lake Use in 2025- Town Council and Town leadership are keenly aware of the importance of reopening the Lake as soon as it is safe to do so. Given the timing of the work that has been completed thus far and the need for ongoing work moving forward, it is extremely unlikely that the Lake will be able to open for the 2025 summer season. (This includes motorized and non-motorized vessels and swimming.) For those of you who have been following our storm recovery process closely, this news may not be a surprise to you. I thought it was important to share this news with you directly. Please note that Town Council and Town leadership will continue to evaluate options for opening the Lake or portions of the Lake and we will continue to keep you informed with any updates as new information becomes available.

It is also just 15 minutes from the quaint Village of Tryon, located on the first rise of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In addition to the Tyron International Equestrian Center, it offers wineries, golf, and unique shops. On a historical note, it is the birthplace of the legendary Jazz singer, pianist, and songwriter Nina Simone. A statue and plaza in town honor her memory.

Several excellent golf courses are nearby, including Apple Valley Golf Course, Bald Mountain Golf Course, and Etowah Valley Country Club and Golf Resort, which Golf Digest rated as one of the top 50 golf destinations in the US.

If you enjoy scenic drives, head out of Lake Lure on Alt 74 (curvy and scenic Memorial Highway) through Chimney Rock Village, Bat Cave, Gerton, Fairview, toward Asheville to pick up what many consider the most beautiful length of road in this country, the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you have not traveled this stretch of road, it is something to add to your bucket list.

This home is located just 15 minutes from Bat Cave, 35 minutes from Hendersonville, 50 minutes from Asheville, and about 2 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina. Also nearby are Pisgah National Forest (less than 1 hour from Lake Lure), which has over 500,000 acres of protected forest, and DuPont State Recreational Forest (1.25 hours from Lake Lure) with over 10,000 acres. These forests feature hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, horse trails, exquisite waterfalls, and beautiful mountaintop views. If you and/or your children are fans of The Hunger Games book and movie, a scene with Katniss and Gale was shot at the Pisgah National Forest. A few small but significant scenes were also filmed at the DuPont State Recreational Forest.

AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2025, through the first quarter of 2025 (March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

Comfort in the Mountains

Sheldon's way is a perfect mountain vacation retreat. Extremely clean and very comfortable. Kitchen is well supplied and modern. A wonderful place to relax after a day of hiking or exploring the mountain towns. Screened back porch and large side deck with charcoal grill are an added plus. We would certainly stay here again!

50th Birthday/ Vacation

Easy check in and emails were responded to in a timely manner. Pictures did not do the home justice. Home was spacious, clean, & secluded. Enjoyed sitting on the patio and porch listening to nature & watching the rain. Everything that we needed was right there in the home. I could not have asked for a better birthday.

I loved this place, it was a very quiet peaceful place. Everything was so beautiful, so well organized. I so enjoyed being able to take my Golden Retreiver, Sadie with me. She loved watching the birds and the deer. I would definitely recommend this place to any family with pets!

Nice house and location

The only down side was that the listing indicates a king bed when in actuality there are 2 queens. Not usually a problem, but as I recently had arm surgery we specifically wanted the extra size/room. That was disappointing.

We loved our Christmas vacation at Sheldon’s Way!

My husband, daughter and I and my in-laws enjoyed a week long stay in Mill Spring and could not have loved it more. (Well only maybe if it snowed.) The house is better than the pictures show, the land/yard and neighborhood were lovely, and a fire in the fireplace every night topped it off. The house was fully stocked with all we would need (except groceries of course) and we loved the extras this property afforded. We could travel to what we wanted to do for the day within 30 minutes to an hour but the journey was everything - - amazing views through mountains and pathways to waterfalls and trail hikes. We would definitely come back - - summer or winter. Thanks to Carolina Properties for answering all of my e-mails timely and for providing a wonderful home away from home experience for our family this Christmas. Sheldon’s Way is a true gem.

Great family getaway

Spacious home tucked away in the hills near Lake Lure, NC. The quiet at this family getaway is deafening. Surrounded by porches on 3 sides you find great places to enjoy morning coffee, the deer, hummingbirds and wildlife that surround you. Valted ceiling family room, well equipped kitchen, and spacious bedrooms provide space for family meals, games, and personal quite time.
