The large lot, brand new extra-large dock and amazing lake access mean the outside definitely won’t disappoint either. There’s ample parking in front for cars and trailers and the circular driveway leads directly to the private boat ramp, definitely a rare find on the lake! No need to go driving around on your first day looking for a public boat ramp or spending precious time at the end of the week driving to get everything loaded back up again - take one last sunset or sunrise cruise and then just back your trailer down the ramp. The cement boat ramp also offers a great place to launch kayaks from or to retrieve paddle boards and toys. The backyard has a very gentle slope leading to the boat dock and bulkhead area. The covered boat lifts are for owner's use only but there is space, along with available bumpers and cleats, on the ramp-side of the dock for 1 (one) guest boat. The water depth at the end of the dock is about 8’ and the cove is wide enough so there’s plenty of room to play or just float. The new dock includes a spacious second-level seating area with adequate tables and chairs, lounge chairs and an extra-large umbrella, making it one of the owner’s favorite spots to relax and spend the day. The main level of the dock offers a bar area complete with a fridge and covered seating area. There's a hammock and a swing in the backyard for those afternoons or evenings when you just need a shady, quiet spot. The house comes equipped with 4 adult kayaks, 2 child kayaks, 2 paddle boards and a large Lily Pad to help fill your days with fun and relaxation. A selection of child and adult vests are available for your use. And the large lakeside fire pit has space for everyone so the fun can continue way past sunset.

The house is an easy 30 minute drive from I-95 and a quick 15-minute drive to the local retail area that includes a Food Lion, Ace Hardware, Lake Gaston Pizza, Subway, a gas station and an ABC store. This area also includes 2 waterfront restaurants, The Pointe and Watersview. Be sure to stop by The Pointe during the day to feed their “pet” fish, play corn hole and take in one of the best sunset views on the lake. Norton’s at the Lake offers putt-putt, snowcones and a Saturday morning farmer’s market and flea market. The town of Roanoke Rapids is about 30 mins south if you’re looking for more shopping and dining options.

If you’ve ever been to Lake Gaston you know what a peaceful, family-friendly area it is, truly a hidden gem. Although the holiday weekends are a little busier, generally traffic on the lake is very light, which is great for tubing or skiing or just looking at all the gorgeous homes. Jimmie’s Creek is a wide creek, equally suitable for a quiet evening kayak or paddle board ride or making some waves on that new tube or wakeboard. For those of you who may be new to the lake or just lake vacations in general, come see what you’ve been missing! Enjoy an extra cup of morning coffee while you watch the ducks that visit daily, drop a line in the water and kick-back on the dock or just float your day away under a beautiful, Carolina-blue sky . . . .whatever respite you need from the real world, you’ll find it here at Lake Joy!
