About Lakewood Pointe

There are luxury rentals, and then there is Lakewood Pointe. Situated at the end of a private gated road on its own peninsula in the Fontana Lake Estates community, this handcrafted estate is the most extraordinary property in the Watershed portfolio — and one of the most remarkable vacation rentals in all of Western North Carolina. The real estate listing called it an estate with “timeless style and grace with cathedral grandeur.” That undersells it.

Built in 2008 with impeccable attention to detail throughout, the main house spans multiple levels with the great room at its center — a soaring, light-filled space that opens through sliding doors to multi-level terraces directly above Fontana Lake. The seamless blend of stone, wood, and wrought iron carries through every room. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with double Thermador gas ovens, double Sub-Zero refrigerators, two islands, a formal dining room, a breakfast room, and a breakfast bar. The master suite is a sanctuary of its own: an antique king bed with luxurious linens, elegant French doors opening to the deck and an outdoor wood-burning fireplace, a 55-inch smart TV, and a spa-like bathroom with dual vanities, a dressing area, and a large double-headed shower with a bench.

A double boathouse and 2-slip dock sit at the lake’s edge below the property. Watershed Cabins’ concierge service can arrange boat or jet-ski rentals for your stay. A gym is available for guest use. Media and game rooms provide indoor entertainment. And a whole-home generator ensures that mountain weather never interrupts the experience.

This listing is for the main house only (5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, sleeps 14). If your group needs all 7 bedrooms, book Lakewood Pointe and Guesthouse instead, which adds the 2-bedroom guesthouse above the 3-car garage.
