134 Beechnut Rd, Littleton, NC 27850

Gaston Cottage is everything a lake house should be, right in the heart of Lake Gaston on a desirable main-lake cove just a minute to big water, dining, marinas, and of course those Mile 13 sunsets everyone loves. This waterfront home and playground is all about the good stuff: pulling wakeboards behind the boat, kayaking, fishing off the dock, watching football on the deck, and s'mores and grilling at dusk. The surprisingly expansive open floor plan was made for gathering, with room for the whole family to be together in one space. It's quite charming too, with so many vignettes and little places to delight around every corner. Nearly everything conveys, from the outdoor furniture at the waterfront and on the decks overlooking the lake to the great furniture inside, and even the combo pool/air hockey table. There's room to tie up your boat at the dock, plus a Swinger jet ski lift to make use of the whole shoreline. Lovingly cared for by one owner and never rented, the home has been well maintained over the years, and a new roof was added in Summer 2026, so it's ready for its next owners. Short-term rentals are allowed in Gaston Heights, one of the lake's communities that has held its value for years. It's a great neighborhood for walking and enjoying nature and the lake views from Ridge Road.
