The Settings of Lake Rhodhiss 

Inspired by the serene beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and tucked into a hillside overlooking the water, The Settings of Lake Rhodhiss combines traditional North Carolina charm with the carefree atmosphere of a lakeside hideaway.

Set amid mature forests, rolling hills and inviting shorelines, this community sets a new standard for lakeside living. Spanning 682 acres, The Settings of Lake Rhodhiss lies right on the water. Because the property’s strategic position takes advantage of the land’s natural elevation, an unusually large number of homesites enjoy direct views of Lake Rhodhiss and most homesites offer lake or mountain views. All offer access to the water.

Here you can imagine yourself in the midst of an untouched natural preserve, yet you’re still just a short drive away from quaint mountain towns and modern cities.

At The Settings of Lake Rhodhiss, nature is always close at hand. Nearly 30 percent of the property has been set aside as permanent green space. It’s also perfect for waterside recreation. One of the finest spots for fishing in the Carolinas, Lake Rhodhiss has the densest population of fish of all the lakes in the Catawba River chain. And because the lake has a sand – not clay – bottom, the waters here are crystal clear on most days. With its 525 miles of shoreline, Lake Rhodhiss is a paradise for anyone who appreciates relaxing on or by the water.

Though it may seem worlds away, this gated lakefront community puts residents just five minutes from I-40, and one hour from Asheville (60 miles), Charlotte (60 miles) and Boone (45 miles).

Proposed amenities include:

• Gated entrance with greeter’s cottage
• Lake clubhouse with day docks
• Swimming pools and tennis courts
• Fitness center and sauna
• Walking and hiking trails
• Nature stations
• Recreational parks and a children’s beach area
• Outdoor amphitheater
• Four miles of natural shoreline on Lake Rhodhiss

NATURAL WONDERS

Spanning over 3,000 acres and featuring more than 90 miles of shoreline, Lake Rhodhiss is one of the finest spots in the South for tournament fishing.

Lake Rhodhiss has the densest population of fish of all the Catawba River lakes, averaging more than 605 pounds per mile. Bass as large as 10 pounds can be found here.

Lake Rhodhiss has a sand –not clay- bottom, resulting in crystal blue waters. Its water level remains constant, while other lakes in the Carolinas can vary dramatically.

Less than 20 minutes away, South Mountain is North Carolina’s largest state park.

Lake Rhodhiss stretches about 10 miles. There are five boat launches and one marina on the lake.
