An outdoor fire pit provides the perfect setting for evenings. The exterior is complete with a lower garage for your cars, water toys and additional storage, a one-car carport, and concrete and asphalt driveway offering ample parking for family and guests. Located in the quiet, gated community, The Enclave is located on the northeast side of the lake, in close proximity to Pisgah National Forest as well as the Fonta Flora State Trail for hiking and biking.
