Riverbend at Lake Lure as a successful Short-Term Rental Gem AND on the RIVER perched up! Welcome to 131 Rivers Edge, a true Lake Lure escape nestled in the private, gated Riverbend community — where nature, income, and relaxation come together. This spacious mountain home has been a successful short-term rental for many years, drawing repeat guests with its riverfront setting, thoughtful design, and proximity to everything Lake Lure has to offer. Offering over 2,800 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home also includes two additional bonus rooms comfortably used for sleeping, allowing it to accommodate large families or groups. The main level (approx. 2,052 sq ft) features a bright, open-concept floor plan with soaring ceilings, a stone fireplace, and a wall of windows overlooking the river and surrounding forest. The kitchen opens to a generous dining area and living space that lead to a deck made for morning coffee and evening sunsets. Upstairs, the spacious upper suite (approx. 750 sq ft) offers privacy, storage, and flexibility — ideal for a primary retreat or guest quarters. A garage and 484 sq ft concrete pad sit below***, providing room for parking, storage, or expansion potential. The home’s systems have been recently upgraded, including two new HVAC units and a new hot water heater, ensuring comfort and reliability for years to come. Riverbend at Lake Lure is one of the area’s most popular destinations, known for its two private lakes (Big & Little Mirror Lake), private beach and picnic area, kayak/canoe launch, and access to the Broad River with waterfalls and walking trails. Guests enjoy the peaceful mountain setting while being just minutes from Lake Lure Beach, Chimney Rock State Park, downtown Lake Lure, and the Tryon International Equestrian Center. This home sustained no interior damage in the home from Hurricane Helene. The only impact was some minor riverbank erosion, and the sellers have priced accordingly, offering a rare opportunity for buyers to step into a proven investment or full-time mountain retreat at a below-market value! Whether you’re seeking a turnkey vacation rental, a primary residence with income potential, or a second home in a thriving resort community, this property delivers it all. 131 Rivers Edge offers strong past rental performance, an unbeatable location, and the kind of mountain-lake lifestyle people dream about. For this price — you simply can’t beat it.
