The Property

A unique home with many custom features and a light and airy floor plan, Summerscales is not just another family vacation house; it was designed and built carefully as the owners home away from home. The views from every room in the house look eastward across the lake towards Youngs Mountain. While enjoying the morning sunrise, you might also see local wildlife such as deer, beaver, geese, ducks, heron, fish, turtles and, on the odd occasion, bears. Go for a swim, paddle around the lake on one of our paddle boards, take one of the boats out and go fishing, take a walk or a hike, or just doze on the screened porch with a book and a glass of wine.

Bald Mountain Lake is populated by low density houses occupied by residents and holiday makers. It’s small and quiet with mainly swimmers, people fishing, and those on paddle boards and manually powered boats with only the occasional electric boat with nothing more than a five-horsepower engine. Conveniently located within the Rumbling Bald Resort, all amenities a 15 minute walk on a quiet road or just a 2- minute car ride. The resort boasts an 18-hole golf course, mini-golf, golf cart and boat rentals, an outdoor pool, pickle ball courts, lighted tennis courts, sandy beach, spa, playground, 17 miles of hiking trails, fitness trail, and two restaurants.

Open the front door to the foyer and you will immediately notice the beams lining the ceiling throughout the main level. On the right the vaulted ceiling of the main living room with the exposed beams and two-story fireplace with gas logs captures the eye as does the view from the windows. To the left, the chef's kitchen features a large, reclaimed wood kitchen island and dining room with views of the lake and mountains. Glass doors provide access to the deck at the back and the screened porch at the side. One side of the porch houses another table for 8 and the other a large comfortable seating area.
